A series of decisions were made at Mini which resulted in what is unambiguously the worst indicator design of all time. It is so bad that after seeing it on the street, I just had to post about it here.
It’s not broken. It’s indicating a left turn, but the left blinker looks like an arrow pointing to the right. That’s a mixed message. It’s meant to look like the Union Jack, but that caused mixed messaging so it’s a problem caused by mixed messaging.
You could say that about anything that’s broken though. … this isn’t a deflect caused by prioritising style to something else
It isn’t broken though it’s operating as intended. Which is just stupid.
Oh its indicating for a turn? If that is the case then it is pretty neat!
How is a left turn signal pointing right pretty neat?
Ok ok. … i think that I understand the issue now … people recognize an arrow instead of just looking at the lights.
It’s just confusing, especially with the split second decision making involved in driving 2 ton objects at high speeds. It’s terrible design.
