Do you use your blinker when you see a spot?

I usually do if it's a busy area1

Yes. I tend to overuse my blinker in general. I try to make it so people have a clear idea of where I intend to go.5

When it is already clear I intend to turn, when I am in a lane that is turn only and already veering that direction it might not be necessary, but I am in the habit!1

You sound like a very conscientious driver. I always use my blinker when turning or changing lanes. I keep it going until I'm fully in the lane.0

I don't think we're overusing it, it's just the right amount ;-)
How about this scenario? The road you're on comes to a T, bends to the right, other side has a stop. Do you use it when you go to the right, following the road?

I even use it sometimes for big curves in the road lol..... definitely not necessary. But I also use mine all the time! Even parking spots where there is no competition.1 -
I try to use it as little as possible. My life needs a little mystery and excitement.2

It's a good habit to have, becomes natural.When it is already clear I intend to turn, when I am in a lane that is turn only and already veering that direction it might not be necessary, but I am in the habit!

I don't. But then again I can be a bit of a rage, aggressive driver. I blame it on having to drive in the city1

I'm a great signaler, but I wouldn't use it in this situation as I'm not leaving the road I am on nor coming to a stop to turn.
Actually, if I was approaching the T in a direction (in this case from the right) where I would be turning in front of someone that was waiting at the sign, I'd probably signal just to make sure they didn't think I was going straight and decide to pull out in front of me.1 -

Exactly.
Another question: do you signal before hitting your brakes to turn? I do, gives whoever is behind me a reason for my braking.0 -

For sure before I brake.
Although, gotta love the brakers that don't actually hit the blinker until they're simultaneously turning the wheel to turn. :laugh:1 -
And then they wonder why they're getting honked at ;-) why bother at that point? Ha!PurringMyrrh wrote: »MsAmandaNJ wrote: »PurringMyrrh wrote: »MsAmandaNJ wrote: »

I'm a pretty good driver for having a vagina.

I think they just become emergency flashers at that point.0 -

Sometimes I'll hit the blinker even when I intend to go straight just in case I change my mind.3

I use my blinkers at all times. Even if I am the only one on the road, just a habit of getting pulled over a lot for having a loud car for most of my life. One less reason for anyone to pull u over, also a necessity when speeding. If you are a speeder, you should be in the habit of using turn signals, it pretty much says "hey I'm going this way, please stay in your lane so neither of us die"

Oh, you live in Wisconsin too? Get in the right hand lane to turn left, left hand lane to turn right, sit in both lanes at intersections, run red lights randomly. Worst drivers I have ever seen. I got used to driving in the big city and yeah people were aggressive, but at least you had a clue what they were thinking.0 -

Oh you're in Chippewa Falls. I'm originally from Tomah and have since returned but did live in Chippewa Falls for a couple years while going to CVTC. Now I know why you think Wisconsin has the worst drivers. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS up there in the Chippwa Falls/EauClaire area. That was a fair part of why I returned to Tomah.0 -
