I don’t need a beep test

- Mark Hucke, email

I was nearly crushed by a lorry while riding to work on my Moto Guzzi Griso. Inches-from-death sort of thing. If I grab for a horn to warn an idiot lorry driver that he’s about to kill me changing lanes I don’t want to cancel my indicators. And vice-bloodyvers­a too. If one designer from one manufactur­er can give me one good reason why these switches shouldn’t be standardis­ed, then fine, I’m all ears. But otherwise, perhaps refrain from impromptu memory tests when we’re trying to avoid being mulched.
