The indicators on vehicles are critical safety features that enable pedestrians and other road users to understand where a vehicle is likely to go in the next few seconds. The difference in reaction times is enough to make a significant impact on safety.

Several modern vehicles position the right indicator to the left of the right headlight and the left indicator to the right of the left headlight. This could confuse road users and could reduce their safety.

Designers obviously want to create good-looking vehicles, but this should not be done at the expense of compromising safety. The position of lights on the vehicles should be guided by safety considerations -- not aesthetics.

Many vehicles drivers do not use the indicators thought he vehicles have such safety related features. In developing countries, it is very common to notice that trucks very rarely sport their taillights. In 9 out of 10 trucks that ply in the night, either the tail does not burn or such a gadget itself is not here. Since drivers without license and on part time and trip basis drive most of these trucks, they are not bothered by accountability and responsibility. In addition, the education levels of these drivers are minimal and they cannot comprehend the inconvenience and serious dangers they pose to other road users. As they do not own the vehicles and most of the drivers of these trucks are learners on the road, they simply do not care nor have any concern
