It really pisses me off when people don't use their signal when they change lanes or make a turn. It's such a simple thing to do but so many people don't do it.

Yes, and I hate it when people don't use theirs. But there's nothing worse than grandmas who leave theirs on for 10 miles :|

Of course, it's an unthinking action for me, as it should be for all drivers.
While we're on the topic, the thing I REALLY can't stand, the thing that drives me insane is when people complete a turning or lane-changing action and then give up a blink or two. WTF is the point?! :|

I also don't like when people signal half way into a turn. Thanks buddy, but I think it's a little too late.

I don't. Never have, never will, unless my parents are with me or someone else is with me who'll yell at me if I don't signal.

I use turn signals and changing lane signals on an as needed basis. If there is nobody around, I use nothing, if it there is someone around who might need to know what I am doing, or the police are around :) I use them religiously. If there is heavy traffic, I try to give at least a block or more of warning that I am turning.

Always, it's a good habit. I get annoyed when others around me don't. I even find myself signaling when its simply a 90 degree bend in the road and the only thing you can do is turn. The cops will need another excuse to pull me over. Suckers:p

FOR EDIT, GRAMMAR: MINE BAD:)

mjquilly: You probably just have a burned out bulb. Or else you just have a GM :p If it's the latter, you just need a $4 part replaced.

mztykal Hopefully people like you don't breed..;)

If you use them 100% of the time, it becomes a conditioned response. A natural thing to do like if turning, you don't think about turning the steering wheel, the action is automatic.

I drive 150,000 miles a year. In ten years I've drive farther than most of you will in their entire lifetime. I see accidents everyday where just a small conditioned response by a responsible drver would have prevented a lot of grief.

Use your signal! Even when you think no one will see you do it.....and always buckle up.


Now, if they would just make them mandatory on new cars, maybe everyone would have them...:confused:....

I talked to a few black market arms dealers about getting a rack of LAW rockets mounted to the roof of my car to deal with non-signal-users, but they thought the backblast might be bad for the paint :D
