Do you use your turn signal?

[project X]

Supposedly Chicago is well known for people not using their turn signals. I always use mine, of course.

But the other day I was driving along, minding my own business.. and suddenly, this red car speeds up, goes into my lane and then abruptly stops. You guessed it, no turn signal. They were so close to making me hit them.

- Using turn signals.
- Stupid things people do on the road.
- Red cars.

I always always use my turn signals. It bothers me when people dont, especially when changing lanes.

What bothers me the most while driving is when people ride my ass, or follow other people too closely. It makes me very very nervous.

Last time I didn't I had an accident. I've not not used it since.

Im not psychic, how do I know which way your turning?

Same here.

I always use my turn signal. Always. I can be changing lanes with no cars within a mile of me, and I'd still use my turn signal unless I consciously thought not to.

Which makes this all the more ironic. I've been pulled over once in my life and I got a ticket for that one time. For failure to signal a lane change. What probably happened is that I just lazily pushed it down and then let it back up after just a click or two, and the cop (who was a car or so behind me) didn't see it. Either way, it's bull[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]. But now it irritates the hell out of me to see people not using their turn signal, because they'll never get a ticket for it and I did even though I always do.

People who don't use turn signals should be lined up against a wall and shot, but first they should be sent out to signaling camps. The rest of us know that we are the superior automobile drivers.

I didn't think anyone else felt as strongly about this as I do.

[Agent Proto]

I don't like it when drivers don't use their turn signal. I usually do use it. And like others, I hate it when someone is driving up close behind me. I would also like to add that it annoys me when people leave their turn signal on, this always leaves the impression that they're going to turn/switch lanes any second when in fact they probably already did switch lanes and forgot to turn off the signal. >_<

Exactly.

I find the majority of the people who ignore using their signals and park where ever they wish, etc. and think that they own the road are men with huge trucks. At least in my part of the world.

There's only one time when I turn without a signal, and it's at one part of my morning commute where I just have gotten into the habit of not doing it - I turn into a left-turn lane at a three-way stoplight, and I dunno, I just have this habit of not using it.

Otherwise, it's one of my biggest petpeeves to see people not using it. I hate driving behind someone, seeing that they're driving unreasonably slow, and then see them pull into the oncoming traffic lane to make a left-hand turn (another annoyance. I can't believe people actually do this - driving in the oncoming lane for a turn. It's stupid).

I guess you've never encountered the soccer moms over here.

Leeza could be just like that, so we should be careful about those comments.
