    The same people who can put a ship into space haven't figured out how to use turn signals.

    I don't think anyone can say always...so no, I don't. 99.5% yes.

  • Yes. I always do, because it is a peeve of mine when people don't.

  • 95% of the time, yes. If I don't, it's because I forget or because I'm driving on an empty road. But the vast majority of the time, I use them. I hate it when people don't signal.

    That is my belief.  I'd say 99% of the time.

    HA!

    Reminds me of watching LivePD the other day.
    They had a car chase, and the suspect kept using his turn signals.

    You must have driven or live in L.A.  Heaven forbid you let another driver know what you're planning on doing.  The other drivers just tighten the mere hole you saw to make your exit.... 3 miles away.  

    Too funny, Tom.  I hear ya!!

    How would she reach the big pedal on the right if she were clipping her toenails?  I guess she does have two feet.  Problem solved.  Never mind. ;) :)

    Or Does She????? This post was edited by Merlin at November 28, 2018 9:07 AM MST

    Why bother turning them on every time?
    I prefer just leaving them on... in case I have to turn in the future of my travels.

    Yes.  Always.

    I see people driving around me as real people with real lives and I am not going to disrespect that by being first of all rude, by not signaling.  So, not being rude is a courtesy, but that courtesy is much weightier considering that we are all traveling fast in in a ton of unforgiving steel.  That courtesy could save lives.

    I took my concentration off the wheel just this weekend in a darkened parking lot and I could have backed into an entire family.  I don't think they even realized their peril.

    God, please let me never hit another human being in a car.  My safety is not the biggest issue.  And I do not want to ever get hurt in a car, but the hurt I would sustain would be nothing compared to what I would endure if I hit someone else.  

    Oh god.
