    Lately for some reason i've been out at three a.m. every day this week and i never turn my signal on. Simply because there is no one else out. Its not a big deal and im not going to get side swiped by some car that magically came out of nowhere. I'll sometimes not use it at four-way stops as well if i pull up to the sign first. Its my turn to go and i can go whichever damn way i want and i dont have to tell the guy to my left jack. He's supposed to wait until I'm out of the intersection to go ne ways.

    Now having said that, if he decides to go cause he thinks im going straight and he rails into the side of me, then i will get out, beat the hell out of him, and then take my ticket for improper signaling...and probably for beating the crap out of some random guy. Oh well...you win some you lose some

    I use it when there are other cars on the road. If there aren't any, then I wouldn't be signaling to anyone and don't see the point. When there is another car on the road, I do.

    I also can't stand it when the front person in the right lane makes the cars behind him or her wait for the green light because that person is going straight.

    I don't use them, because I'm afraid that the blinking lights will irritate the dog in the car behind me. And it's not a good idea to make a dog angry, especially one that drives.

    And also because I can't drive.

    I use my turn signal all the time. What pisses me off is when other people leave their turn signals on, but they don't smurfing turn. You get big semi-trucks that will do this [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] and you don't know whether to speed up ahead or to slow down for his stupid ass. That pisses me off the most.

    Also, ignorant people who go 60 down a 45 street and don't use their turn signals. You're already breaking one law, and the turn signal ain't gonna kill you.

    That's roughly what I do, though I take pedestrians into account too, so it's only very quiet/empty areas and backstreets or in private areas such as in a depot that I sometimes don't bother

    The other time I don't use where I see other people use it is when in a filter lane which is supposed to only be turning - I don't see the point in using it in this case because you shouldn't be in that lane otherwise if you're going another direction

    Good point. I don't do it there, either.

    I use it always, unless if there's no one around.

    Having someone follow closely behind you is just extremely fun for me. It's just awfully entertaining to see what they do when you drive even slower on purpose just to irritate them.

    I do hate those cars that go way under the speed limit and you try to pass them and they get all OMG YOU'RE TRYING TO PASS ME-ish and so they speed up so that you can't pass them and then you get behind them and they slow down again.

    I almost got into a wreck this way, where I thought a car was going to turn right because of his blinker and so since he looked like he was slowing down I was going to go ahead and make my left turn, and nope! He kept going straight so I had to slam on my breaks.

    I'm a very angry driver too, I hate stupid drivers, mainly because it can be life threatening, and I'd kind of like to continue living. This is the only thing that makes me very angry, weird.

    I do use my turn signal. Sometimes I don't when there's literally no one around, but other than that I always use them.

    Well I used to. Meaning when I used to drive. I still would if I had a car though.

    Oh yeah, and I think that when you're in a left turn lane and the cars in front and behind you are clicking their left turn signal, it's pretty redundant for me to turn mine on as well. The clicking bugs me.

    I use my turn signal. Always. It's habit.

    This one time my blinkers didn't seem to work, I don't know why, it was only that one drive home from school, but man. I was so paranoid. XD
