    I was on the way home Sunday with my kid. Going down a road that's 30mph. My house is on the left. I run my blinker on to turn into my driveway. A BMW speeds up and tries to pass on my left. Nearly T-Boned me. All I saw was the medallion and a lit-up UBER sign on the dash.

    They managed to stop, flip me off, and sped away before I could even get my window down. What the fuck is thier issue?

    I recently got a BMW i4 (their electric mid-size sedan). These new cars beep if you start to stray to the next lane without first engaging the turn signal.

    My company's Sprinter van goes as far as yanking you back to your lane unless you engage the turn signal first.

    Damned tech ruining a good vintage meme.

      They still put the powerful magnet behind the license plate though so it will be pulled up right behind the car in front of them.

        Ugh... I got to try those buttons the other day. Might work in an intersection. Horrible in a roundabout!!! No wonder nobody use them!
