Racing Towards Red Lights

[Clodfobble]

A friend of mine had the turn signal stick break in his piece-of-crap car in high school. It wouldn't blink when it was engaged, just stayed solidly lit.

He felt very strongly about the importance of using one's turn signal, but at the same time could not afford to fix it--so he would manually flip the stick up and down repeatedly whenever he needed to signal a turn, even while sitting through stoplights and other delays.

Did he know this from an outside inspection of the car? Because that is what happens when a blinker bulb burns out and it's time to replace the bulb.
