Lights: indicate - and turn the lights on

TTDegs · 6th September 2006, 17:24

noticed that this has happened a few times now, and it's begining to bug me slightly

not a lot in the grand scheme of things, but thought I'd share

Sometimes when I indicate (right) with my normal method of using my fingertips, it rotates the light switch to the On (sidelights) from it's normal (Auto*) position

Anyone else?

* yes, I know the pitfalls of Auto and bridges, but I like technology doing things for me

Yup, my clumsy fingers have turned lights on/off while signalling!

3rd Honda · 6th September 2006, 18:00

Me too - several times.........Thought it was just me!

richierich · 6th September 2006, 18:38

Add me to the clumsy finger group.

Fedorov · 6th September 2006, 19:45

Add me to the minority then cos I've NEVER done it yet - and YES I do use my indicators as I should when driving

Neither have I. You clumsy ones

, instead of an upward movement, you must be using a rolling motion too.

Andrea · 7th September 2006, 09:12

No, but an upward motion on the front edge of the stalk will produce a turning moment on the stalk. I just push up with my middle finger, and occasionally it manages to twist the selecter. I am certainly not twisting it like a bike's throttle when I signal!

Bungle, you know what to do with your middle finger then, don't you

Bungle · 7th September 2006, 13:28

I didn't know you were into that kind of thing!

Honda drivers must be getting younger... I thought they stuck their arms out of the window instead of using those new-fangled flashing thingies.

I still use arm signals. I can't find the semaphore signals on the Civic
