Evo X turn signals location (on dash)

Is there anyone forgetting to turn off turn signal after turning it on when changing lanes or making turns??

Is there a way of installing some kind of beeping sound when forgetting to turn off turn signals??

I think they should of put the turn signal closer together (blinker on dash) so it's easy to see...I find it kinda hidden (hard to see).

Does anyone agree???

YOU mean you actually use signals! You don't just slice in and out of traffic like everybody else?!?! you are not driving your car correctly!

I've been meaning to ask the same thing. I don't think I care now as much as when I first got the car, but I can barely hearing the "clicks" when the turn signals on. It hasn't happened recently but when I first got the car it seemed like I was always leaving my turn signals on; the fact that I can't see the indicator arrows past the steering wheel doesn't help either. Anyone know if there's a way to turn up the volume for this?

I've definitely had a few moments where I felt like an 80 year old, leaving the blinker on for 10 minutes after I've turned. Oh well, it'll make the people behind you more cautious at the possibility you could turn any second.

This really cracks me up. I contemplated starting a thread weeks after I picked my car because I found myself doing the same thing, but I was too proud . I think I'm just about over it, but if I knew how to turn up the volume of signal "clicks," I'd be all over it.

On my way home this evening, I had to keep telling myself to do this so I could drill it in my brain.

Glad you mentioned this, I thought I was getting old. I imagine the surprise people get when passing and seeing that someone young has been driving for miles with the TS blinking.

I thought I also was the only one having this problem! Not only is the "clicking sound" missing, I can't even see the flashing light from my seat position! I try to make a "mental note" each time I make a turn just to remember to check if they are still on! I used to b*tch at all the elderly for this now I'm doing the same thing!
