This is a news to me! Thank you. Now, I can breathe better.
Any idea on the speed until which the locks stay unlocked?

Of course, I'm doing it sir!

Now I'm unsure if the following car has noticed my indicator, and if it is safe for me to join the new lane.

Guess what, I adapted. I started indicating just WHEN I START the lane change maneuver, so indicators are still blinking while I join a new lane.

So I'm already on the move when I indicate and I give no time to the following vehicle to react to my indication - that is a really bad habit.

Polo does not allow you to customise the number of blinks?
I can set it to 3, 5 or 7 blinks in my 2017 i20.

The ECU thing you describe is not due to emission management, but due to turbolag; the turbo doesn't spool up at lower RPMs, and there's therefore the inertia that you feel, as the turbo spools up. Once it kicks in, you feel the burst of power, but it's sluggish till that point.

The lane change thing is more designed for European roads, and the triple blink is mostly used while exiting roundabouts. It could be used for quick lane changes on motorways too, where you just want to indicate to cars which are well behind you, but if there's a tailgater, it's safer to simply use the regular blinkers; wait a second for the tailgater to back off, and then make the change, and switch off the blinkers. That's what I do!
