MINI design fail

While I was driving behind a MINI Cooper that was turning left, I noticed a confusing design flaw: the blinking brake light was pointing the wrong way. This mismatch between the driver’s intended direction and the visual signal — indicating a right turn when the car was turning left — caused cognitive dissonance. Such design errors can be disorienting and potentially dangerous for other drivers. It’s disappointing to see this oversight from MINI, as clear communication is crucial for road safety.
