Grand Theft Auto: Indicating Like a Boss (or Not, We Won't Judge)
Hey there, gearheads and getaway drivers! GTA 6 is finally out, and the streets of Vice City are hotter than Ricardo Tubo's dance moves (and that's saying something). But amidst the palm trees, neon lights, and questionable fashion choices, there's one crucial skill that seems to be eluding even the most seasoned criminals: using those damn turn signals!
Fear not, fellow fugitives! Uncle Bard is here to guide you through the intricate art of the blinker, transforming you from a traffic-light-ignoring menace to a beacon of civilized chaos. Buckle up, because we're about to hit the gas on...
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.

Step 1: Locate the Lever of Mystery. Yes, that little stick beside your steering wheel, not the one that launches missiles (although, that's a handy option for impatient lane-changers). Give it a gentle nudge up or down – it's not a joystick, folks, no fancy finger contortions needed.
-
Step 2: Choose Your Side (Wisely). Left for leftward adventures, right for rightist ramblings. Don't go all wishy-washy and flick it back and forth – that's just confusing everyone, including the attack helicopter tailing you. Consistency is key, unless you're aiming for a Dukes of Hazzard-style barrel roll, then by all means, go nuts.
-
Step 3: Embrace the Blink. Don't be shy, let that amber beacon illuminate the night! It's not a disco ball, one flash is enough. Think of it as a friendly heads-up to your fellow motorists: "Hey, just letting you know I'm not planning on teleporting across lanes, so maybe chill with the road rage, eh?"

The Double Blink: Master of the Merge. Entering a highway? Don't be that jerk who darts in like a crazed cheetah on espresso. Give those folks in the fast lane a heads-up with a couple of well-timed blinks. They might even let you in without flipping the bird (although, no guarantees in Vice City).
-
The Phantom Flick: The Art of the Surprise Turn. Feeling cornered by the fuzz? Need to ditch your tail in a cloud of confusion? The Phantom Flick is your new best friend. A quick, unexpected blink in the opposite direction can throw those cops off their scent, buying you precious seconds to make your escape (or, you know, crash spectacularly into a yacht – no judgment).
-
The Triple Blink: Baller Move or Beginner Blunder? This one's a gamble. Three blinks can signal a lane change, an upcoming turn, or a full-on existential crisis behind the wheel. Use it sparingly, unless you're aiming for maximum confusion (and possibly triggering a city-wide game of Grand Theft Auto: Red Light, Green Light).
Remember, folks: indicating is the WD-40 of the criminal underworld. It keeps things running smoothly, avoids unnecessary aggro, and might even score you some bonus street cred. So go forth, blink with pride, and show those Vice City streets who's the real master of the maneuver!
QuickTip: Stop scrolling, read carefully here.
And just in case you were wondering, yes, I'm aware the irony of a virtual character lecturing on real-world traffic laws is thicker than a layer of sunblock on Tommy Vercetti's beach bod. But hey, even outlaws deserve a little education, right? Now get out there and show 'em how it's done, responsibly, of course. (Disclaimer: Bard is not responsible for any ensuing mayhem).
