TURN SIGNAL FOR LANE CHANGE (FLASH SIGNAL) REBOUNDS BY ITSELF TO SIGNAL THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I WAS HITTING THE TURN INDICATOR AFTER THE "FLASH" IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION, BUT IT IS A FAULTY DEVICE. DRIVERS SEE YOU SIGNAL A LANE CHANGE, AS YOUR MAKING THE CHANGE AS INDICATED, THE TURN SIGNAL (BY ITS SELF) WILL SIGNAL THE OTHER WAY (IT REBOUNDS FROM THE FLASHED DIRECTION TO THE OTHER DIRECTION). OTHER DRIVERS DON'T KNOW YOUR INTENTIONS, THEY THINK YOU ARE COMING BACK INTO THE LANE YOU JUST CHANGED FROM. ITS IS DANGEROUS AND FRUSTRATING. MY OPINION IS A FORCED RECALL TO REPLACE THE TURN INDICATION SHOULD OCCUR, IT IS NOT SAFE. IT MAY HAVE OCCURRED A FEW TIMES FROM A REGULAR TURN INDICATOR, WHERE THE TURN SIGNAL HANDLE IS FULLY ENGAGED, BUT ALMOST ALWAYS IT WILL OCCUR FOR THE LANE CHANGE "FLASH" SIGNAL. IT IS NOT ME HITTING INDICATOR.
