So on my trips I’ve usually noticed that the odd lorries indicators will do something funny like when they’re flashed in, i can tell that it’s not the way the driver is moving the stock because it just happens too quick but it’s like they press a button or something and some sort of software takes over the indicators and gives them a specialised pattern.
Maybe it’s just the computer onboard the lorry itself getting confused with how quickly the stalk is being moved but im sure it’s something else.
It’s caused by the trailer being fitted with LED lights and not having in line resistors fitted, most modern trucks periodically send electrical pulses to check the lighting and ABS circuits this is how the dash warning system knows you have a bulb out.

Ahh…perhaps he doesn’t know the ‘wait for the flash, left right left’ thing?
Of course I know lmao.
But when when the driver does the left right thing, some of the lorries make it look like there’s something else fitted (a bit like a light bar) in the indicators and that it does it in a special pattern. I guess you haven’t experienced it yet but from the replies here it seems to be like a bit of a fault with LEDs.
