    My father would always say oh, we have a basketball player in front of us. He's trying to fake us out.

    Seriously, it's there for a reason! :explode:

    One of my biggest pet peeves! I usually start yelling "Oh gee, i didn't know they made ::insert car make here:: without turn signals" and then I crawl right up on their *kitten*. I have a severe case of road rage :bigsmile:

    Hahahahaha I yell "Turn signals aren't a f**king decoration, *kitten*!!"
    Yeah.... no road rage here.... :wink:

    What about signaling without changing lanes? I get paranoid and just know that as soon as I try and pass, they'll pull over on top of me.
    My dad does this...he's getting old and quite deaf and doesn't hear the damned thing blinking...drives me batty to go anywhere with him driving!!

    My guess is that signals must be optional on new cars :wink:

    In Southern California, we come over on you and signal just to let you know we just cut you off in case you did not see it.
    ^^^ This

    -or- The guy in front you, on the freeway, in the fast lane, with his left blinker going for the last 10 miles. Go ahead, make the left!

    i hate the ones who drive slower than or at speed limit in the left hand lane. Seriously? You're in the way and impeding the flow of traffic. Move the eff over.

    HUGE pet peeve of mine! I often wonder why manufacturers even make cars with signals anymore as it's becoming an extinct act.

    A quirky little game I play in my head whenever I take an off ramp, I count the number of folks in front or in back of me who use/don't use their signals and come up with my own stats, 1 out of 4 cars use their turn signals, or 3 out of 5 do. It's different every time. No matter the result it pisses me off. You know, because I am a perfect driver!

    :explode: seriously, I'm not a mindreader.

    Why can't you be supportive of my driving methodology?

    Yes. I do this. I don't need to signal. I'm driving faster than you (99+% of the time) so my signaling is irrelevant. Just stay where you are. I'm not going to signal just so you can speed up or make some erratic move. The only people I usually see signalling are terrible drivers going 50 on the freeway and leaving their blinkers on for half a mile. Grow a pair and make a turn. No one is going to slow down for you just because you are signalling.

    Dont do it in the eastern sierras of California. Highway patrol will pull you over and you'll get a $230 ticket.

    Some guy swerved around me, blasted his horn and flipped me off when I was making a left turn this morning- I couldn't figure out what his problem was, because I used my blinker. Turns out my blinker isn't working. So, we're not always doing it on purpose- don't be so quick with the finger!

    I always figured folks didn't signal out of pure laziness.

    It never occurred to me that some had contrived a whole bunch of crazy to justify doing it deliberately!

    Come to CA. If you signal, the guy next to you will deliberately block you 9/10 times.
