good day everyone.. last week while i was driving home i noticed something weird going on with my blinkers! It seems like it was missing a beat or something.. it would blink normal a few times and it would slow down and sometime skip a beat?!?! will at first i didnt think too much about it because it was late and i've been partying.. but today when i'm sober the problem is real! also I've notice the first click on my wiper speed control is not working either!! my question is are those two thing connected somehow..? can someone help a brotha out?!!

2 things

First. irratic Blinker is probably a blinker switch is going bad. Look at a manual and find the location of them and swap it out.

Second. Driving unsober will usually lead to problems much bigger than your blinker acting funky and often will involve others at some level. I would remedy the later before the former.

Agreed. WTF, buddy. If you're too inebriated to tell if it's the blinkers or you, there's no way in hell you should be behind the wheel.

I sure hope you have been in the passenger seat and not in the driver seat when you've been drunk or high. If not, you are a completely retard. No sympathy from me.

It's one thing if you were choosing to put your own life at risk, but you could easily kill somebody else. Knock it off.

I'm not gonna give you **** about drinking and driving, I'm not your father. But GEDagget is right about that one. Just replace it and you'll be good to go.

I had that problem a while ago as well

It could also be a bad connection at one or both taillights. These sockets tend to be problematic, especially the ground. Mine used to do this from time to time as well.

And yeah- don't drink and drive! How many times do you have to hear it? How many innocent people have been killed or otherwise inconvenienced by drunk drivers? It's pointless. Have a couple drinks, hang out for a while, and go home. If you want to get wasted then drink at home or spend the night at someone else's home. Simple solution.

Actually dont listen to these guys, just continue to drink and drive, the sooner you are off the road the safer I will feel.

thanks guys for the tip! But i dont drink nor smoke cigs (i am with the green team tho..)... i know you guys are tryin to keep me from hurting myself and others (or just to rip me a new a$$ hole) but I'm smarter than that! No joke that drink and driving kills but that was not the sitituation! thanks anyways! cheers!

childofjuly

again! i dont drink nor get high off PCP and drive! altho I do 420 (i'm not talking about my car) and that only leads to me driving like a grand ma and junk food! I think more people have died from just driving fast and crazy while sober or drunk than people that is taking a relaxing joy ride thats obeying all traffic laws (come on i was trying to use my blinker!!!)(and i know even that is against the law).. but they are not the same!

STLe320

420!!!!
Nice...
I'm right there with ya mayne..

STLe320

It's true. Driving HIGH off of weed is very different from driving drunk, or off another drug.

Drunk drivers kill people, Stoned drivers miss their exit on the highway!

childofjuly

thanks for putting it "bluntly"

CDP

Someone say 420?

vili1982

I know a guy who got so high, fell a sleep at the wheel, bearly survived...

O_o
Inebriation is inebriation, be it alcohol, weed, dehydration, etc, you can't think clearly. Dont even try to justify it, driving is difficult enough when you are fully possessed of your facilities. Dont take stupid risks. If you want to kill yourself, find a quiet way to do it where no one else gets hurt.

I think what we are seeing here is the difference between Kids and Men. Some Kids are just able to have nice things as Kids and take it for granted. Trust me boys if you don't learn what some of us older guys (31) are saying to you probably won't be to successful in life as a human being if you make it past your adolescence much at all. Hope you guys learn this stuff the easy way by listing to guys who have been there and seen it screw up enough lives to never act ignorant and carelessly again. When the cops pull you over and arrest you for DUI on pot just tell him that it actually makes you a safer driver and you just missed an exit or two and see if that gets you out of jail and keeps your license. Better yet just that to your folks when they come and bail you out. Trust me it's not worth the 1 hour buzz.

I'm not that old but I don't drink or smoke. I used to drink a lot but one day i was like f@ck this I don't need to be drinking to impress these douchebags. You know it's weird because I wanted to be cool and be part of the crowd but guess what? no one gives a *****!...

If you want to drink and get high off ur *** that's cool...If you offer me some i'll say no and that's that....If you want to start talking ***** i'll let you get drunk or high and then i'll kick your a$$...You won't remember a thing!

If you want to drive your car off a cliff that's cool too....If you want to drive drunk I suggest you go to the desert and drive in circles...Driving on the street where there are people and kids around that I don't respect.....

Saijin_Naib

GED, thanks for the compliment, but Im only 20. I've been a bit of an oddity my whole life because I was never part of the drinking/drugs/random sex scene, it's always disgusted me a little. But yeah, I like YNVDs suggestion about the desert, I really would love to tear around on the Salt Flats in Nevada. That I think, anyone can enjoy and do for fun!

GEDaggett

I guess it's more of a maturity thing. Some of you guys are standing out when others your age are standing around drunk and stupid. That's respectable. Sorry if I offended anyone by calling them old.

crr1612

or drunk and stupid!

shdoug

That's alright- I'm 3 years older than you!

CDP

Okay kids.

Let's drop the subject and stay on topic to the whole point of this section as well as the forum itself - Mercedes-Benz for those of you who have forgotten.

childofjuly

he probably was doing more than just smoking! anyone that smoke knows that you dont fall asleep thats wasting! and if you smoked you'd know.. but i understand where you're comming from.. i know what i'm doing is wrong but its nothing like drinking and driving!! driving after smoke post about the same risk if not less than you speed to work everyday! yeah its against the law and yes people can die but it aint stoping you from doing it and you dont see me judging you!!

childofjuly

i'm goin to be nice and not rip you too bad but who are you to decied whos a kid or men among everyone in here? you abousulty know nothing about any of us and all you are doin are making consumption! Personaly i dont know what you consider being "successful" is in life but i wouldnt be doing big talk unless i'm really moving something.. and you got to feel me on that man! this aint the first rodeo for any of us i'm sure but you're just talking stupid! who in the heck would tell the cops that "i smoke pot and it makes me a better driver"? hello? what are you smoking? I'm sorry that you been there and seen it screw up lives but thats not the case here man! i'm 27 and i work for everything i have I'm not sayin i'm more "successful" than you but i know I pay more taxes every year than some people double of my age.. you cant school me on life buddy! i'm asian! my parents perpaired me very well!

again! i want everyone to know that I dont even drink muchless drink while driving! so everyone needs to get off of that and quit tryin to act like daddy! the point is my blinker wasnt working when it needed to regarless whatever the heck i was on! and just because you smoke weed doesnt mean you're a kid or unsuccessful.. get over it!

CDP

Word.

Nicely done my child.
