    That’s not the issue, imagining driving through a roundabout that curves left and having to find a button somewhere on the steering wheel, which is at an angle, in order to indicate right before turning tight in order to exit the roundabout.

    A stalk will always be in the same position. The same cannot be said for buttons.

        Drivers frequently change their hand placement as they turn the wheel. You lose precision and basic ability to manipulate the wheel if you don’t.

        Again, it depends on the angle of the steering wheel. The buttons may be upside down if the car is turning sharply enough.

            Do you stick your hands to the steering wheel with Krazy glue?

            You can’t be serious if you think people don’t take sharp turns from time to time and have to indicate.

                I’ll do it your way…

                …huh?

                I was replying to this comment:

                Again, no it doesn’t. The button should always be in the exact same position, relative to your thumb.

                Are you seriously telling me you never reposition your hands on the steering wheel?

                You are bad at reading. Try again.

                This is total nonsense:

                If you’re turning that sharply, you’re not going to need turn signals.

                Ever heard about U-turns? You need to signal while doing those too. That’s just one example that disputes your position.

                    I’ll write it down simply and then I’m done because getting through to you is seemingly impossible.

                    People sometimes need to turn on their indicators while not driving in a straight line. It happens, accept it.
