Again, it depends on the angle of the steering wheel.

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

The buttons may be upside down if the car is turning sharply enough.

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

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.

...huh?

You are bad at reading. Try again.

I'll do it your way...

I was replying to this comment:

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

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.

You're still bad at reading. That's not what I said. Try again.

If you turn on your signal in the middle of a U-turn, you're a bad driver. That's not a problem with the car, that's a problem with you.

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.

I accept it and agree with it. You can still do it while turning. It's not a problem.
