Ever.

i'm just really sick of driving around and almost getting sideswiped by some douchebag. whenever you change lanes, you put your turn signal on. for some reason or other, it's as if every asshole driving a pick-up truck completely neglects to understand the concept of courtesy of letting other drivers on the road know that you're changing lanes...

i know it's not... it just seems that way because i've experienced a higher percentage of truck drivers doing it.

True. I'll admit I am guilty of the lack of turn signal usage. Often I wont use it if I feel there is plenty of room for me to get in and I won't shock anyone.

Like others have said, it's not just the pick-up drivers. The best you can do is learn to drive defensively.

Very true, I reject speed limits, traffic signals, and dead-ends for very similar reasons.

And don't get me started on what a waste of time it would be to stop double-parking.

no, with pickup drivers, the problem is that they turn it on and leave it on for the next 4000 miles.
