The 'ticking' sound on my indicators is so quiet that I often forget to cancel them after small changes in direction eg on motorway. I know they have lights, but in traffic I'm much too busy to look down. MANY years ago I made a little bleeper to wire below the dashboard. I'm much too old to be faffing around with transistors and solder so is there a commercial device to do this?
You could always superglue a little sounding board onto the relay
Surely if you're much to busy to look down, then you're also much to busy to turn the indicator off?
When my daughter was first learning to drive a few years ago we had a Citreon AX that didn't always self cancel. I had a buzzer laying round off a towing kit very much like these

Right idea, but I could do without 'very, very annoying'. Slightly irritating might be ok :o)

Wire the flasher circuit into the horn :-)
The message from Stuart G Gray contains these words:
What, like a taxi?
Other people don't seem to have trouble. What else are you doing in the car that makes you any busier than everyone else?
Pretty well any DC sounder wired across the output of the flasher relay to ground will work - or across the indicator lamp if you have just the one. Maplin do a selection - make sure it says it will work from 12 volt DC.
Here is an option:
No, taxis don't use the indicators.

The message from "Bob Smith" contains these words:
Which neatly frees up the flasher circuit to make the horn toot repeatedly.
