I hate them. :|
Is it so hard to flick your wrist and let people know you're going to be turning so I don't have to sit there on the corner and wait for you to pass? Of course once you start turning it's too late and I have to wait another 10 minutes for the traffic to pass.

Oh, on that note I also hate the people who feel they have go all the way to the righthand side of the road before making a left turn. Without a blinker of course.

Oops...I don't use the signal when I'm driving around residential.

But I do driving on normal streets.

I'd rather they signal early than not all.

Well, you don't know sometimes when they *will* turn in. Followed a few too many people that have done this very thing, a few driveways, and streets later, they finally turn.
Just annoying. :roll:

I agree as well, a blinker is there for a reason, use it people!

I hate people who get mad at me for not signaling when it's compeltely obvious that I'll be turning. I'm in the left-turn lane - I'm turning left, do you really need a signal, too?

What if my blinker dies while I'm driving? Will you accept hand signals instead?

Aaaah.. Yes... I hate that as well.. Whether they choose to use a turn signal or not doesn't bother me that much..
But, blatantly swerving over to the extreme right when making a left turn is indeed "jackasstic" if I do have to say so.. I guess the ideal is they don't want you to go around..
fvcking pricks

Why does it matter? It might even help people who are new to the area or spaced to remember that it's a turn lane :p

Yeah, one of the intersections in my daily commute was a 2-lane, that immediately narrowed to 1 on the other side. It was always red. Your choices were to go straight in the left lane, or go in the right lane, blocking all the people who want to turn right on red, and then shoot past the cars in the left and swerve over to avoid the parked cars across the intersection. Obviously you only wanted to do this if the car in the left lane was turning left.

...Of course, no one knows how to signal, so I wasted a LOT of time because I always played safe+polite and chose the left lane. Light turns green...front car starts moving..."Oh wait I want to turn!" and stops dead. Then you have to wait for everyone behind you who was in the right lane or pulls out from the left lane, before you can get in the right lane and get through.

My left blinker doesn't work.

I'm sure most people don't have that excuse, but still :)

Actually, it turns on..it just doesn't..blink.

The funny thing is, just earlier today I was following behind someone who had his right-turn signal on, for a few minutes. What did he do? Moved into the left lane. :confused:

Why? Because I almost got in an accident today because some douche signaled two turns early and almost hit me when I made my right out of an intersection.

I agree. I almost got into a car accident because I thought the guy was going to turn.

People who don't use their blinkers piss me off to no end especially when it's close to me. Really how hard it is to move your fingers an inch up or down? After a while it's pretty automatic but nope. Hate it when people drive like they own the road. The should own the wall. :|
