Most drivers are aware of the nuances of using “emergency gang” for communication on the road. But not everyone is aware of the cunning signal to a colleague with the help of frequent inclusions of the right and left “turn signal”. Portal “AvtoVzglyad” will fill this gap in the “driver education”.
Move on the roads of Russia, whatever you see. For example strange signaling by turn signal repeaters by some motorists. It consists of the following. The driver, driving straight (usually – on the highway), turns on the right or left “turn signals” several times in a row, usually in a sequence of 3-4-5 times. It is difficult to understand the meaning of such actions, since the “winking” car does not perform maneuvers and conversions. Let’s say right away that the version about the prankster behind the wheel or about the driver’s attempts to have fun in this way is untenable.
There can be two reasons for intermittent “blinking”. The first is when someone wants to scold someone for not turning on the turn signal in a situation where it was necessary. For example, if your car is being rebuilt in an adjacent lane on a multi-lane highway, and the driver of another car needs to take steps to avoid an accident. Or, say, you abruptly “climbed out” to the “oncoming vehicle” to overtake a slow-moving vehicle at a time when the car following you had already begun a similar maneuver.
After that, don’t be surprised if she nevertheless overtakes you and, having built in front of your bumper, flashes several times with the right or left “turn signal”. This message from a colleague means that he is urging you to continue to avoid such dangerous situations on the road and to inform others of your plans in advance, before making your maneuver. After a “bold” renovation on a multi-lane highway, you can be overtaken again and alternately asked with a wink not to do this again.
Another version of using “flashing turn signals” came from the world of truck drivers. Passenger car owners thank each other on the road by turning on the emergency lights when both sides of the car flash. And professionals sitting in the cabs of heavy trucks often send each other a similar message in their “dialect” – alternately turn right and left “turn signal”. This is safer, as it does not force the driver to reach for the emergency button with his right hand. Therefore, if you want to thank the truck driver, pull the turn signal lever back and forth several times – the “furovod” will understand you perfectly.
