there is only one way to stop the madness.
buy yourself a ford truck and cruise it up and down the road.

I have to think that if you spent less time here on idiotic posts that you'd have more time to study for your exams.
Just a thought.

Way to go, you blew my cover. Up to this point, he thought I was just an innocent bystander defending people with trucks.

Edit: I still drive my car more than my truck.

Sorry, I didn't get that option on my truck.

And here I thought I was the only one without them on my truck.

actually, it's not just pick up truck drivers.

Aye - I notice it a whole lot more on BMWs and Minis than anything else. Then again, the part of town I commute to has a lot of both.

My favorite comment to mumble to myself is, "Oh, I guess turn signals aren't standard equipment on the 540i."

That was a weak rant.

I dont drive a pickup, and I dont always signal whilst changing lanes on the interstate.

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

If anything it's the Lexus (Lexi), Audi's, BMW, Mercedes that don't signal. I think it's because they are so used to looking down their noses that they can't focus that closely to see the turn signal stalk.

In the DC area a turn signal when changing lanes is a signal to other drivers to close the gap so you can't change lanes. :roll: As for the OP the worst offenders I see for non turn signal use is riced up Civics.

That's the point of having a gigantic truck. People get out of my way. Not the other way around

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

Look, I have a Dodge Ram and almost never use turn signals.

I can barely see my blind spot as it is, so what's the point?

I almost got sideswiped by some douchebag truck driver once. And he didn't use his turn signal.

Ford truck? Try a Dodge truck.

Fix it again, Tony!

Meybe them that peek-up drivers suscribe to the theory that the steering wheel has 2 of them thar levers on it
Lever A
Lever B
if you don't quite know what Lever A does, Lever B...(leave'r Be)

It's bad when a full-sized truck almost sideswipes you with no signal. It's worse when a semi-truck does it (from experience - sure glad no one was in the lane next to me at the time).

Exactly. Us pickup drivers aren't the worst so why are you even worrying about it?

 

[Ktulu]

Wait a minute, that switch does something else. 😕

I thought it was only for my wipers and cc. 😱

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...

Are you one of those guys who's always trying to drive his little honda car under my truck? God I hate the way those things are always zooming from lane to lane. One of these days one of you will make it, and prolly ruin one of my tires. Thats going to piss me off.

A couple of weeks ago I almost got sideswiped by different trucks two days in a row. Made me feel like they were out to get me.
