Rant: American "Ingenuity"

Today, I had the distinct displeasure of being stuck behind something on the way home from work. One of those rare, yet utterly OTT objects known as the American Car. A Dodge, to be precise.

Not only are these cars too wide, too long, and too UGLY for Kiwi roads, they have a fundamental and dangerous design flaw. They don't have indicators. This Dodge I encountered today happily swerved in and out of lanes without doing anything at all, but on one occasion I thought I could spot his brake light flicking (the evening sun was bright, so it was hard to tell).

Is this what passes for an indicator in the US? Why do they not make nice bright yellow lights to sit on the front and back of the car like normal countries? Do they have anything at all on the front of the car to indicate a turn, or do the headlights just flash on and off when it's dark? It's a mystery to me. A note to American inventors: making something different and less functional isn't cool. And that goes for the way you've messed with the English language as well.
