How is that confusing? The turn indicators pulse on and off, and on one side of the car only to indicate the direction of the turn. Braking lamps come on full, no pulsing, on both sides of the car.

Perhaps an idiot focusing on colour only, and ignoring all other visual data, would be confused... but really; if they're that easily confused should they really be driving in the first place?
