lolol...that's when *telepathy* kicks in

Apparently,turn signal was an option for vehicles since barely anyone uses them.

i don't know, but it's annoys me when people don't use them. I use them all the time, even when no one is around me. It's a habit. almost feels like something is missing/not right if I don't use it.

I rarely signal. It's because im an ass hole. I don't care if the person who left 15feet between him and the car in front of him knows that i'm coming in, because i don't even touch my breaks after moving over. He backs off, then i back off, then everyone is happy! Or when on the freeway i don't have the time to signal, do you know how hard it is to move through cars that are going 65mph when i'm doing 100-110mph?

The ones that tick me off are the ones who sit through an entire red, then turn on the blinker after the light turns green. Especially annoying when it's at a busy intersection with no left turn lane.

I like to keep people on their toes. Especially those that like to follow to close and then I slam on the breaks to make them Sh... poop their pants

I always signal, A) it's in your best interest to tell other drivers what you're doing. My dad always said "it's not you I'm worried about, it's everybody else on the road." and B) it's common courtesy. I mean come on, you have to move ONE finger less than an inch. How hard is that? Takes no time at all and it could save you from getting clipped.

It is one of my biggest pet peeves when people don't signal. Like has been said already, it takes literally a fraction of a second and a flick of your pinky to signal, why not do it?!?!?!

Any time I bring it up, theres always someone around giving me the "well, I'm always aware of whats around me" story. That is impossible, at some point in your life you're not going to be aware of something that just happened around you.

I signal every time to the point that it has become a subconscious thing I just do. I even signal around sharp bends or coming out of my driveway just because it is such habit.

You're moving 3500 lbs of steel down the road, its your responsibility to let people know what you intend to do with it.

Freaking idiots.

Va is the worst. Drivers are all over the place.

People are so awesome.

I use mine 90% of the time. I'm terrified of getting mowed over by a redneck in a jacked up 4x4.

I like the ones that pull up right beside me in heavy bumper to bumper traffic, turn on their turn signal and start moving over as if it will make my car magically disappear.

The worst is when someone makes one turn and then another turn real fast and they feel they don't have to use the blinker for the second turn "cause hey, they used it for one turn why rush to push the lever back down."

I just looked on google for a device that makes using blinkers easier for all of you that refuse to because of the arduous task involved, and i couldn't find anything. Sorry, but it doesn't get any easier
