   I think it's humorous and nothing more. A blunder in a cutesy application of the Union Jack.

   The real problem, as ever, is that we allow brake lights to also function as turn signals in the first place.

     Several people now have tagged me in the Mini arrow-lookin'-tail light thing.

     You're correct that it bothers me but you're incorrect if you think the arrow part has much to do with it.

     It's bothersome to me only because it's a combined brake and turn indicator!

     I am surprised at folks who think the resemblance to an arrow pointing the wrong way is actually confusing: I find it extremely unlikely that people even parse the presence of the arrow over which side of the vehicle is flashing.
