Because they are not synchronized, they are just really close and kinda blink together until the difference in flash speed becomes noticeable

The reason they are almost never synchronized is that the speed of turn signals doesn’t need to be very precise, and even if your car is modern enough to have computer-timed blinkers, every manufacturer sets their own speed sometimes different for every model, so it’s unlikely you find the same car in front of you. But it is definitely possible, i had my turn signals synchronized with the car in front for several minutes one time
