Given how most mercedes, bmw, and audi cars are driven that was probably the first time the indicators on it had been used.
HaHa...that's one of the comments on the video I thought it was funny because I never use my blinker and I have noticed a lot of mercedes drivers don't use their blinkers as well...how about you guys?

Only time I do is when i'm driving on the streets and traffic is going straight and I need to make a left or right so people know i'm bout to turn and don't slam into the back of me.

I always use mine, even in parking lots; never want to break the habit.

Why would you not use it? It's dumb and not great for court if you get in an accident. And now we have proof that you don't use yours, so if anyone wants a new car, run into paypaboi and print out this page.

+1 i hate people that don't use it makes me very angry. and i don't think that was the turn signal. when a Mercedes gets into a wreck it turns on the hazards

Owned and yes I use my blinker. I use the express one though, just tap it down for 3 flashes.

+1 that 3 flash signal is why I keep buying European cars. Seriously its awesome.

The real question is whens the last time you used the real deal signal.

It all depends on what the person did in front of me... If someone cuts me off ill go ahead and cut them off.. I try to use my blinker as much as i can.. The 3 blinker one is for the win.. I still think 3 blinks isn't enough to fully make a lane change..

LOL i guess..maybe cause I hardly travel during the day since i work from home on my computer so by the time i do get out and drive there is hardly anyone on the road so there is no use for a blinker when you see a car every 40 yards. Maybe it's where I live too not too much traffic well like I said at least when I travel. I think ive been in traffic about 10 times in my whole driving career. And i've been driving for 5 years.

LOL if only this could be used as evidence...but nope sorry i could just be telling you that i dont use my blinker to sound cool or because i want to lie because it makes my toes tickle. Run into the back of me and we'll see who's getting a fresh new car and a couple grand in doctor bills

Pick up a book or open your eyes and comprehend the world that we are living in.

I hate it when people don't use their blinkers. I don't get how anyone can be too lazy to flick their finger to forewarn someone they are going to move over.

I agree. When you don't use your signal, it tells me your lazy & you don't care about anyone else on the road. It pisses me off.

I have even found myself using them at 4am on the road by itself. It is just a habit over many, many miles and years. Damn, I think I'm getting old.

I use mine religiously, even alone at night as MW said. It's just a habit I do not want to break. I also love the three-flash lane change signal. I use the horn for people who don't know what a turn signal is.

All that said Trey is right here. The turn signal hasn't been left on. The hazards come on automatically in a crash in the C-class. Have any of you W203 owners noticed how the hazards flash differently with the engine running in the W203 than they do with the engine off? I've always wondered why that was.
