Heh, my kid sometimes calls from his hands-free while he's driving and the turn signal gets amplified by the speaker phone. Turns out his fiance has never heard of blinker fluid... |
|
| |
...so that was fun for a bit. |
|
| |
Yup, they put a lot of work into amplifying that frequency so conversations while driving could cause maximum ear damage to the person getting the call. |
|
| |
And you seen the price of blinker fluid these day? Sheesh! |
|
| |
Right? All these two for none sales. Outrageous if you ask me. |
|
| |
(Back to blinker sounds.)
Or maybe just start up a nice Jazz base line over the rhythm. The longer you stand and wait, the more you find out where it goes. |
|
| |
You won't believe this but that's similar to what a buddy of mine said. Why? Who hasn't tapped their fingers along to the beat while waiting for the light to change or even hummed a little tune? |
|
| |
He suggested syncopated rhythms being added to make it sound more like a drum circle. |
|
| |
It's really time we were rid of these annoying sounds. A bright visual indicator on the gauge screen or wheel should suffice. |
|
| |
Glad I'm not the only one who hates it. Waiting at an insufferably long red light already taxes one's patience enough without these things hammering away. Especially the ones in my area that turn red even though there's no cars coming the other way, then make you sit for a couple of minutes for absolutely no reason at all. |
|
| |
How about an anaesthetic dart fired from the centre of the steering wheel into your forehead whenever the system detects the car stationary and a red traffic light ahead? The antidote can be administered when the light turns green. |
|
| |
LOL, okay, that's just silly. Anesthetic gas would work just as well. |
|
| |
Will you incorporate a setting to amplify the sound relative to the length of time the blinker continues to run while the vehicle is moving forward, and most likely driving below the posted speed limit while in the fast lane? |
|
| |
I'd give you multiple buns for that! |
|
| |
This feature would be automatic for drivers over 60. |
|
| |
Or anybody it sensed hunching forward with the wheel close to their chest rather than sitting with their back against the seat. |

+ the sound of a croissant |
|
| |
I'd forget I was supposed to turn. |
|
| |
But Canuck's comment may make that less likely, I think. MODIFY, modify, modify. Modify this croissant. |
