Haha, I knew someone would make that argument And truthfully, I don't totally disagree. With that said though, I do still feel there's a difference. A turn signal is just that. It signals the drivers intention to change direction. It doesn't give the driver the right to do so however. It's still their responsibility to make sure what they're doing will keep everyone safe. (not saying everyone plays by those rules, though...) Brake light, however, is a little different in that it is indicating something that is already taking place. Something that others are required to react to. So I do see your point, and I don't think you're wrong at all. I just still get annoyed by the aesthetics of super-bright led turn lights (even though I have them myself!)
