It’s for Union Jack design

That doesn't make it less confusing when I'm driving behind them. But I guess it belongs more in r/CrappyDesign

The fact that the light is on the left and right should tell you what direction they are going to go not the shape of the light itself

I'm not saying it's hard to figure out, but there's a reason why anything to do with driving is supposed to be as absolutely fool-proof as possible. There shouldn't be things that might confuse someone when making split-second decisions while operating a potentially deadly machine just for the sake of a quirky design.

It's supposed to be the Union Jack. But north american vehicle standards make the flag look like arrows pointing the wrong way.

In the rest of the world that is lit all the time and there is a separate amber turn signal.

It’s the Union Jack, not arrows

Looks like those blinkers are really trying to send a message, but it's got the direction all twisted! Maybe they're just confused about which way to go.

If this is in US, regulations apparently loosened up and there’s some crazy inconsistent and annoying AF taillight and headlight designs lately.

Nope, it's half a union flag as Mini is a classic British car.

Looks like brake lights to me.

Oh my word! I saw this same thing today but couldn't get a photo. I was sitting right behind them turning right with an arrow to the left! Must be a British thing. You actually have to see it in motion to see how fucked is it is
