I fall into the category of usually, or when I know someone might be close enough to be affected.

a lot of people don't and it pisses me off sometimes when they cut in front of me without signaling.

I always do and it pisses me off when people don't do it when it's really necessary. I love almost rear-ending some tool who decided to turn into a driveway or get in front of me on the freeway without signaling.... :|

i try and make a habit of it, though i admit sometimes i won't out of sheer laziness at 4am in the middle of the highway with no lights for miles

Wow, that's a lot of people that signal...I'd love to drive in a city with you guys then. :) My biggest pet-peeve is not-signaling, even if you're like 5 feet in front of me...:|

Always. It's so easy. It's just a twitch of the finger. People who don't should be castrated.

Always. I figure the one time I don't signal will be the one time a hidden cop car sees me not do it. :p Or in general, I'd rather others see what my intentions are instead of making them guess.

Always. Its a major petpeeve of mine.
<sarcasm> I find it hard to believe that ppl will spend $50k on a car and it not come equipped with turn signals. </sarcasm>

Always, but then I got my license in Europe-------> The practical/theoretical exam is MUCH more challenging than the one in the US.

Always. When I would ride my bike places it always pissed me off when someone wouldnt signal for a turn. So, out of courtesy to possible bike riders near by and simply because it's a good habit to have I signal at aevery single turn.

Always.
What annoys me about the way my dad drives is he tends to signal when no one is around while he doesn't signal when people are driving near by... yeesh...

Usually. It basically depends on how crowded the roads are. If there is no one within a great distance, I won't...

Well, I haven't had time to look in the manual to see how to operate them.

Maybe next year.
