I agree that the left turn signal (LTS) works. In my experience, it works best
with drivers of European cars which are more likely to know, either by
reading or driving, about european customs.
On the other hand, my LTS experience with non european cars is dismal. Suffice
to say that I just flash the high beams in the day time, and dim my lights at
night time then.
