Personally I feel like people that park in the bike lane should forfeit the protection of law. If I have to swerve into deadly traffic so you can get your coffee a little faster, I should be able to take your car’s mirror with me.
I think that people that bike on the sidewalk should forfeit the protection of law. If I have to dodge you pulling 20 on a route that pedestrians were meant to walk just because you can’t be bothered to follow the traffic laws, I should be allowed to stick an umbrella in your wheel spokes.
I ride (slowly) on the sidewalk sometimes because I’ll probably die if I ride with traffic. I’m sorry. It’s annoying. I walk the bike when it gets crowded. But I super don’t want to ride on a lot of these streets.
You don’t sound like the type of person to try to ride a bike down the 3 foot wide sidewalk on a bridge, or to pull 40-50 mph through a crosswalk without stopping.
I went a solid 8 years having my kids convinced it was an emergency button that you would press only in an emergency if you had to have the stoplight turn green. Every once in a while I would “break the law” when I knew the light was about to change and push it just before. Their mom wound up spilling the beans :-( I’m pretty sure I could’ve kept it up till the oldest one started to drive. Lol
Haha! In Korea, it’s the “I’m sorry!” button when you drive like an asshole.
Oh, I kind of like that.
I learned in Japan that it is a thank you button. Like if someone let’s you into a lane, you flash twice to say thank you and turn it off.
I’ve noticed truck drivers do the same here in the US, so I’ve started doing this as well as a regular driver.

Some people get intimidated by a tiny bit of weather. I’ve seen people with there hazards on when its icy out.
Around here people use them a lot when they start hitting traffic backups and slowing down, as well as when they hit a slippery patch, to alert other drivers to upcoming conditions.
It’s not due to being intimidated, it’s a courtesy.
Its not a courtesy if everyone immediately does it
It infuriates me that pretty much everyone uses this to pull over to the side of a street now. (Usually blocking the lane that they’re in instead of taking a nearby available space.) Even if you’re gonna be an asshole and block traffic at least use your blinker so we know wtf you’re doing. If you put on your blinker to the side you plan to stop on then we know you actually plan on pulling over instead of just going slow or stopping in the middle of the road or something. What’s more, and here’s the genius part, you can use the opposite blinker to signal that you’re pulling back out! As opposed to just pulling out with your hazards on with absolutely 0 warning. And yes, they did teach this in driver’s Ed, that I somehow remember half my life ago but nobody else can seem to… /Rant
Or maybe you could just go pull off into the parking lot…
Only avalible in Audi,BMW and Land Rovers
Tesla has it but the drivers just it and park behind people blocking their exit because they didn’t want to pay to activate the button.
It seems pretty damn available to all food delivery drivers
omfg don’t get me started on double parking on crowded streets
