This is a question Redundant technology

Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?

Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

Redundant technology?
My car comes with orange lights on the corners which I use to 'indicate' to other road users my intentions of turning.

You are not a taxi driver.

Most certainly not
I have a reasonable size cock.

The flashy orange lights?
Gawd, when I go to cross at roundabouts, they seem not to work. I recently started this game of "Let's walk out in front of the taxi driver/B.M.W. driver/ generic prick if they don't indicate. It is they who are responsible, after all." So far, I haven't been hit. Till then I will continue to annoy all of you.

Just remember...
The Highway Code applies to ALL road users - motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

But seriously, it does my head in the amount of people who either don't bother, or leave it until the last moment to indicate.

Fuckers.

You might indeed have the right of way.
Good luck trying to enforce it from beyond the grave.

(On a related note, I'd like to apologise to the poor chap with the heroic reflexes, whom I nearly mowed down due to inattention. There were neither motorised vehicles nor cyclists near me, so I didn't indicate for the turn I was about to make. I only realised the hitherto-ignored pedestrian wanted to cross the side road when he leapt, gazelle-like, backwards onto the pavement to avoid being struck by my ineptly-piloted ride after I turned into the side road without giving him any overt indication that I wished to do so. He looked most aggrieved, and I don't blame him. It reminded me that pedestrians also need to know the intentions of car drivers, and so I should signal for them, too.)

Reminds me of The Brittas Empire episode
Where Mrs Brittas commented that if he was run over, Brittas's last words would be, "Don't worry dear. I had right of way."

Not redundant
They are just an optional extra these days and people like to save money.

That's the conclusion I've come to anyway.
