(and if you can't tell which one > means which...) sorry, but this one's a bit too ... nevermind. There are situations where it is not easy to see if there's 1 or 2 lights flashing -- like if someone is tailgating the said car, or that car is "zooming" through the traffic and put itself in a "tight" spot. If you're lane is moving faster the other lanes (quite common), you may or may not see the turning light (if they use turning light at all). And I noticed that a lot of older domestic cars use the same light bulbs for turning and stop lights -- if one side burns out -- how would you know what that thing is trying to say with single-sided lights?
