BMW drivers don't have the same reputation as those who drive by the rules.

Now BMW itself has somewhat refuted this thesis by addressing its fans.

BMW drivers are credited with driving aggressively, often breaking the rules and disregarding other road users.

They like to accelerate suddenly and change lanes, and in their maneuvers they almost never use direction indicators.

Therefore, the American branch of BMW decided to address its fans.

He reached out to them via Twitter with a message to use turn signals.

Followers did not take this remark to heart, so the post quickly gathered over 14 thousand likes.

Use your blinkers.

There was a lot of commentary, and BMW was actively involved in it all, saying “We know BMW drivers are the best, but the road can be an unpredictable place.

They have a number of systems related to changes in the direction of movement of the vehicle, such as a warning for unintentional lane changes, a warning for driver fatigue, an avoidance system in urban conditions, etc., they wrote.

Some claimed they didn't even know where the turn signals were, for some it was absolutely unnecessary because they drove a BMW, and there are those who joked that they should be automated if they really need to be used.

After a long time BMW has made a joke at its expense and BMW fans have accepted the joke very well.

However, the topic is much more serious and jokes should be left to some more harmless topics such as the rivalry with Audi for which BMW is very famous.

How the turn signals are activated via the lever on the left side of the steering wheel is explained in the BMW video below.
