A blinker switch in a car is a small lever located on the steering column that activates the turn signal lights on the car. When the driver is preparing to turn left or right, they flick the blinker switch up or down to signal to other drivers which direction they are going. The blinker switch can also be used to signal a lane change or merge onto a highway. Once the switch is activated, the turn signal lights on either side of the car will flash at a rhythmic pace to alert other drivers of the intended manoeuvre.

The blinker switch also has an audible clicking noise that can be heard inside the car to further alert the driver that the turn signal lights are on. The use of blinker lights and the blinker switch is an important safety feature that helps prevent accidents on the road. It allows drivers to communicate their intentions to other drivers and reduces ambiguity on the road. It is important for drivers to use their blinker switch when making any turns or manoeuvres on the road to ensure the safety of everyone on the road.
