Ok, I've heard all the jokes (for MANY years, and really became aware of only after I got my first & only BMW in '21)) about BMW drivers not using their blinkers, but it seems to be a common thing, in reality.

After watching a few YouTube vids in the last week, including today, where BMW drivers-vs-blinkers was mentioned, I actually watched out for BMW blinker-usage during my 25-mile drive to/from the grocery store yesterday, and the legend was confirmed.

Out of six BMW's I saw on the road, X's and sedans both, NONE used blinkers! I, of course, always use mine (mainly to warn others of my turns, so as to keep them from hitting me, and, I "drive Friendly", as road signs in Texas always used to espouse).

As best I could tell, all the other cars weren't driven by elderly male Boomers, so maybe common courtesy while driving isn't a "thing" nowadays.
