    Personally I feel like people that park in the bike lane should forfeit the protection of law. If I have to swerve into deadly traffic so you can get your coffee a little faster, I should be able to take your car’s mirror with me.

        I ride (slowly) on the sidewalk sometimes because I’ll probably die if I ride with traffic. I’m sorry. It’s annoying. I walk the bike when it gets crowded. But I super don’t want to ride on a lot of these streets.

    Haha! In Korea, it’s the “I’m sorry!” button when you drive like an asshole.

      I learned in Japan that it is a thank you button. Like if someone let’s you into a lane, you flash twice to say thank you and turn it off.

      I’ve noticed truck drivers do the same here in the US, so I’ve started doing this as well as a regular driver.

    I went a solid 8 years having my kids convinced it was an emergency button that you would press only in an emergency if you had to have the stoplight turn green. Every once in a while I would “break the law” when I knew the light was about to change and push it just before. Their mom wound up spilling the beans :-( I’m pretty sure I could’ve kept it up till the oldest one started to drive. Lol

      Some people get intimidated by a tiny bit of weather. I’ve seen people with there hazards on when its icy out.

        Around here people use them a lot when they start hitting traffic backups and slowing down, as well as when they hit a slippery patch, to alert other drivers to upcoming conditions.

        It’s not due to being intimidated, it’s a courtesy.

      Tesla has it but the drivers just it and park behind people blocking their exit because they didn’t want to pay to activate the button.
