just remember there are people who are at this very moment getting paid to put indicators on BMWs

What's an indicator?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Aha! From your question I see you must be an American driver. This makes sense.

If you guys are talking about turn signals, I have seen BMW drivers use them on the Autobahn. They are going +200 km/h in the fast lane with their left turn signal on.

Don't feel too bad. I read the replies to your question and still don't know what they are talking. However, I have already lost interest, so I will just assume it is a turn signal even though that does not make me get the point of the original post.

Yep, they turn signals. Or as the joke goes. Just don't ask an Irishman if they working. Yes they are, no they not, yes they are, no they not...........

Speaking of cars, in the U.S., General Motors used to have a place called the Jobs Bank, before their bankruptcy. Back then, GM had much more capacity than demand; so entire shifts of people who had nothing to do would go to work at the Jobs Bank. I have heard of numbers in the 5000+ range. I believe all they were doing was sitting around and playing cards and watching TV. GM was not allowed to lay them off, because of union contracts.
So I am lucky, though I forget it sometimes.

We had a similar situation in our motor manufacturing days. It was called "British Leyland".
The night shift used to bring mattresses, apparently.

But they got paid to produce crap.

No, they got paid.
Producing crap just happened in the background!

Turn signals, rear-view mirrors, headlights, ... the list goes on. My experience as a cyclist is that BMW drivers are asshats by choice, not by chance or innate talent.

From your description of their driving courtesy, the BMW drivers could make good use of a bumper sticker saying
"My other car is an SUV".

Anyone can get two stickers and put each of them on one of their two BMW SUVs.
