In my opinnion, new mini and prius have the worst dizzy tail lamps which annoy me every time. What do you think?
P.s. I'm posting from android and can't make a quote properly sorry. ____________________ own:2020 Serow 250

Yes, I meant bright break lights. New mini has lights with colour between orange and red, prius has too bright red LEDs which kills my eyes.
I just can't believe what car designers are thinking!
I always overtake new mini and prius on my bike, I pull over on my car to let some cars go in front of me. ____________________ own:2020 Serow 250

To be honest, some indicators on cars these days are barely noticable due to the way the cluster is designed and also sun glare it's quite dangerous, and really really annoying. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11

I should have written dizzling, not dizzy
And yes I agree when new mini is indicating left or right with brake lights on, it's so confusing too.  ____________________ own:2020 Serow 250

I find the current trend of putting the indicator inboard of the headlamp rather than on the corners of the car very confusing.
For one thing, you used to be able to see them when the car was sideways on. Now you can't.
I'm not so much bothered by the brightness of brake lamps but I do get VERY annoyed when people have their fog lamp on when there is good visability. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.
