Something that I've ALWAYS wanted to ask:

Here is something that I've always noticed when I've traveled in Europe. ALL of the European cars (Mercedes included) that I've seen have side blinkers. Just to the right of the passenger and driver's side doors you will find them. I think they're GREAT. It's so much easier for drivers to see you when you change lanes on the expressway.

Does anyone know why we don't have these in the states? The only models in the states that I've seen that have them are Volvo and Subaru. There are quite a few "side-swipe" accidents that happen out there. This would definitely help solve the situation! ) Maybe Europe has some regulation that has to have them or something?

Does anyone know about this?
