Audi is trying to kill me!

It was 9:15, class starts at 9:30 sharp and i just left home(nothing unusual here!) so naturally i was in a hurry and as luck would have it each traffic light i approached turned red(seriously its like they're conspiring against me!) as the minutes went by my level of patience was thinning out, i then said to myself "take it easy, its not like you're going to die" , 5 minutes later i entered alghazalli bridge>>(you know the bridge leading to the free trade zone area and kuwait university) and turned my indicator(signaling i was going to turn left), usually when i move from lane to lane i catch a glimpse in my mirror and check the audi side assist>>its a blind spot monitoring system thats equipped in my car>>(photos after story) anyways i slowly changed lanes when i heard a loud "HoooooooooooooooooooooooooonK">>ana wegaf galby! the system failed to indicate that there was a car and i was 3 inches away from being yesterdays news!! ely bagolah, don't rely on technology and always check and double check when changing lanes(allah y7afe'6na we7afe'6kom)

Happened to me twice, even though my car supported the "blind spot" feature !!
After those, I just kept checking like I'm driving some other featureless car !

Some Kuwaitiya: Be careful! these systems are made to provide extra assurance and are not a substitute to turning your head>>apparently! ;p
