Mini design fail is causing road rage...
It's one of the most iconic cars around, but it seems fans are still discovering design details about the humble Mini. Despite being owned by the German BMW since 2000, the Mini continues to celebrate its British heritage, not least when it comes to the taillights.
Redditors are only just noticing that the rear lights are designed to resemble a Union Jack. But while some are appreciating this nationalistic design touch, others are arguing that it is, quite literally, a glaring design fail. If you've ever driven behind a Mini at night, you may have wondered where the hell the driver is trying to go. That's because although the left indicator might be illuminated, that half Union Jack creates the impression of a right arrow, resulting in a tad of cognitive dissonance – just what you want on a busy road.
"We drove by one the other day and it looks both ridiculous and is counter intuitive when blinking," one Redditor complains, while another adds,"Precisely what goes through my head when I’m behind one of these. It’s pointing the wrong way and it looks dumb. The Union Jack works for a lot of design implementations, just not this one." And it seems there's no shortage of complaints on Twitter, too.
One of the dumbest design decisions I've seen in a long time: The Union Jack turn signals on Mini Coopers that look like arrows pointing in the wrong direction. pic.twitter.com/BBkrFxCdMWI know it’s supposed to be a half Union Jack, but these Mini Cooper tail lights look to me like two arrows pointing RIGHT. Which is NOT the message you want your LEFT turn signal to send. pic.twitter.
