    How would that work? If you look from the side you suddenly don’t see anything again, or an arrow point forwards or backwards?

    If you look from the front, current turn signals work for that already.

      sliding lights: it depends on the bulb but i imagine it would easy to see move

      arrows: i dont know why you think they would point fowards or backwards they would just towards the side youre on or not

        If you’re looking at the side of the car, you don’t see them the same way as from the front. Which this whole discussion is about.

        If you can see both turn signals from your point of view, current design works well enough.

            I know how flow lights work. But they still don’t help you see better that a car is turning away from you, which is what this discussion is about.

            Imagine a crossroad where a car is coming from your right side. You have no way of knowing whether they turn right or go straight, regardless of the way the lights work, because you won’t see them.

              we can put the lights on the bottom of the mirror so you can see from that angle then

                And then they’d flash no matter which direction they’d turn?

                So basically hazard lights all the time? Not sure if you still don’t understand what this discussion is about and how I could make it any more clear.
