Do you do your daily checks properly? Do you check your indicators properly? did you know that there is a minimum and maximum number of flashes per minute? how many people have you seen counting the flashes?
I’m told that there is a minimum of 50 and a maximum of 90 flashes per minute. more or less than that is a FP £30 and 3 points, and is an MOT failure, so get those stop watches out lads!
roll on my next visit to a tesco RDC! 
Didn’t know that and don’t really care how may flashes they do per minute anyway. If they flash and all bulbs are ok, then thats good enough for me.
So nearly all BMWs fail as they seem to be an option at purchase!

The range is 60 to 120 times a minute.
These must be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side. Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater might be part of the front direction indicator if it includes a wraparound lens. Lamps incorporating a side repeater are marked either with an ‘E’ mark in a circle or an ‘e’ mark in a rectangle above which is the number 5.
c. the flashing rate Note: it may be necessary to run the engine when checking the flashing rate
c. does not flash 60 to 120 times per minute
d. that every direction indicator emits amber light, except vehicles first used before 1 September 1965 where both front indicators may be white and both rear indicators red
d. does not show light of the appropriate colour

Harry, I bow to your superior knowledge! 
I used to carry a grease gun for my own truck,and grease around and the prop shaft,there is no rule to say a driver has to climb under a truck to have a look around for defects.
