DIRECTION INDICATORS
Return to “Off” Position
Although direction or traffic indicators arc not yet compulsory in this country most new cars are now fitted with them. From the driver’s point of view they make signalling simplicity itself, though they have the disadvantage of indicating only when a definite turn is being made. But that is now only a minor disadvantage for most cars have a red stop light which is connected with the brake pedal and automatically lights up immediately the pedal is depressed, and following traffic is warned that the car is pulling up. The most important point is that Ihe indicator arms should return to their normal “off” position by the lime the turn is completed and the >lcoring straightened out. It is easy to switch the signal on; and often just as easy to switch it off again. On many of the J 934 cars, the responsibility of switching the signal off does not rest with the driver; it is done automatically . It should be so on all cars, and any 1935 model ■which is not fitted with automatically returning indicators will bi sadly deficient. «
