Or the b for blue the m for middle and w for white
The bi-metal spring in a directional signal flasher unit heats up when current flows through it causing it to bend (click) and break the electrical connection. Once the current stops, it then cools down and bends back into it's original shape (clack) allowing current to flow, repeating the cycle. Most newer vehicles these days (the past few decades) have solid-state signal flasher units, or the directionals are computer controlled so the click-clack sound that you hear in most modern vehicles, is made artificially.
People where I live don't know how to use the turn signals so they wouldn't know what it sounds like lol

Hello mr.Bright side l Always watch your video
Very Interesting! However, you got the turn signal principle exactly backwards - the spring is a straight leaf, normally making contact - when you turn on the signal, current flows, heating the spring and it bends over, braking the contact. Then it cools off, it straightens, and makes contact, starting over.

Not necessarily my favorite, but most fitting song, Gerry Lee "Rodeo Song" at least it's chorus section.
The entire score to the Phantom of the opera is my most favourite companion on long drives. Of course I sing all the mail leading roles, better than they do of course, and I’m not kidding, here in Toronto, being stuck in traffic that doesn’t move is very common, in the summer I have the windows rolled down when I’m singing away, not really noticing all the cars around me. Upon finishing songs I’ve gotten applause, and people yelling out their windows I should be a professional singer, which was always my dream come true but never happened. Because I get horrible stage fright, I never pursued it, but between the car in the shower, I’m a rockstar! LOL!

4:50. They should have also mentioned that you should not be closer than 12 inches to the steering wheel when you drive because you will be hit by the air bag as it deploys at 200MPH and that causes a lot of neck and head trauma. The idea is that the forward momentum will make you hit the airbag after is has deployed. If the airbag hits you as it deploys it is going to hurt you. And you should never drive with your hand(s) at 12 O'clock because your wrist is in the inflation zone and your wrist will get hit by the airbag moving at 200MPH and it will break. And people who ride in the passenger seat with their feet on the dash board end up with broken ankles and dislocated hips. As a nurse I have seen all of these types of injuries.
Believe me, the BMW e60 m5 with that v10, sounds amazing. And it’s not quite att all🤪
1:12 You have cars with "Oversize Car Ahead/Follows" signs for an oversized 18-wheeler, wouldn't an "Undersized Car Ahead/Follows" signs for that?

Midnight Rider’s not a limo, it’s just a really fancy trailer pulled by a semi-truck!
Interesting, the vehicle I drive has a sound module that creates the seat belt beep, the signal light click as well as several other audio sounds for low fuel and engine trouble issues. Funny when the seatbelt warning tone is playing and I hit the turn signal switch I can hear the click but sometimes either one the sounds will cancel out as the timing of one interferes with the other.

BMW doesn't play the fake engine noise into the cabin to "remind" the driver that the engine is working. They do that because the sound deadening which is used to muffle road, tire and wind noise also deadens the engine noise and people who drive high performance car like to hear the sound of the engine, especially if they have a V8, or larger engine.

A turn signal flasher is a special kind of relay that does utilize heat generated by electrical flow, but the heat is caused by the flow of electricity through the contacts causing a piece of spring steel to disconnect the circuit. The metal quickly cools and snaps back into place completing the circuit once again. There is no heat generated when the circuit is incomplete.
