how do you indicate left and right

@Hydzo - go back at comment #1 : )

I changed mine to Q and E to make things easier. They actually will make AI slow down in the next lane on the highway when you indicate into it before turning too.

@Legend - will try it next time I'm back on current version. Are years that I just force my way into nearby lane, and if devs changed it, a bit of info would have been appreciated : /

I have no idea when it was made so that AI will wait if you indicate, I only started playing 2 weeks ago and I just noticed it while driving and I was indicating for realism and immersion. They also wait on intersections sometimes too.

For my experience AI reacts to blinkers in really few situations, the most common are :
- when merging from right (that is different than when changing lane). Like at the end of an on ramp or after a tollgate or when the right lane merges into the second lane in some roads;
- inside a roundabout. Using blinkers before to leave it will allow AI to enter it in front of you, otherwise they will stop/stay still thinking you are continuing inside the roundabout;
- inside an intersection. Like when trying to turn left and oncoming traffic from the opposite direction is turning left it too, in this case they will turn in front of you.

Then AI will slow down when overtaked, like in country roads, to allow player to return to their proper lane. In all other cases AI slow down or stop because player went to much forward or out of lane so they are trying to avoid a collision (if they can). Well, I may have forgot of some more specific case, but the 3+1 cases above should cover most.

I use my indicators when changing lanes and the AI react. If they're moving faster, like when it's 120 for them and 80 for me, one or more AI will go by before the traffic further behind begins to slow and allow me to change lanes. And that is expected behaviour. ;)

Will surely test it, in Germany, where they go 140+ >: )

Edit: it works exactly as you described it. Even if I'm going straight and centered in my lane, if I turn on blinkers maybe the first one or two cars won't slow down (if they were already too close), but next will slow down close to my speed so that I can change lane. It won't stay there forever anyway, if I don't change lane it will get too close to my trailer then will speed up and leave me behind (understandable).

Problem is, when I need to change lane I need to change it NOW ^^' Well, will keep it in mind and practice, maybe one day I will stop to force my way in their lane (maybe) : D
