Then what does this flashing arrow on the back of the vehicle mean?

or this which looks a lot more like the Mini indicator:

Of course you can work it out with context and time, but are you sure your reflexes can work it all out quickly?

The Mini indicators don't look like arrows to me. They look just like basic indicators. I don't know what else to say?

To be honest I think people are massively exaggerating how confusing they are for fun Internet outrage points. People calling for people to be sacked and things. Crazy.

How do you draw an arrow?

They don't look like one as they're not in the context of one.

Arrows point in a direction. So do turn signals. These arrows point in the opposite direction of the turn signal.

That was not my question.
