Turn signals.
What a concept. Use them before you turn into someplace.
Brought to you by the Committee to Use Turn Signals Because I Almost Hit Some Fucking Asshole Who Has No Clue About Using Them, Inc.

Hah. My father has a terrible habit of not using his signals. He says he only uses them when he needs them (aka when other drivers aren't nearby). The thing is, he never considers pedestrians and the fact that they too may want to be notified about lane changes...
I'd give him at least ten points for every parcel delivery guy he hit that doesn't use their BIKE signals... I hate bicycles because they rarely use signals at all, and with the way they dodge in and out of traffic? I think they deserve whatever's coming to them... especially the bumper of a mack truck.

The best driving is Defensive Driving.
The best Defense is a good Offense.
A good offensive player never broadcasts his moves.
Fuck turn signals, they are the sign of a weak driver.

But that just takes all the fun out of running them down! He's old and needs a little enjoyment in his life.

i had an old crappy car in college, and for some freakish reason, the turn signals switched - when i thought i was signally left, it was right, and vice versa, and i never could understand why i was getting flipped off by so many people on my daily commute.

Ok so I make deliveries all day in a large bright red ford van. You would think that it would be hard for people to not see this damn thing baring down on them at like 75 miles per houre but you would ba amazed at how many people will not only turn in front of you w/o signaling but will pull out in front of you only to stab on there brakes 2 seconds later and turn in w/o signaling. This is one of my biggest complaints. That and blue hairs. If you cant see over the wheel and couldent see past the hood even if you could then get off the fucking road!

I once ran a VW bus full of nuns off a cliff just because, with all those habits, the driver hadn't developed the turn signal one. I felt a little bad about it afterward though because when I pulled off the road to take pictures of the wrecked van it exploded before I could get a good shot of the nun who was trying to crawl out through the rear window. Kodak moments are ever so fleeting.

the turn signal
in the past four years i've done plenty of highway driving, generally going back and forth state to state 3-4 times a week.
when i flip it to flick twice to pass, once to change back in lane, is it an asshole thing?
Apparently an undercover cop on the way up to a Spencer courthouse thought so my last trip up there on my registration sticker court date, got a "courtesy light' flash from em
although since then no problems. I'm all for wonderaz
spending that extra second to flip the turn signal when cutting off the van doing 60 in a 65 could cost me my life, just say no to "blinking off"

But I wasn't drunk when I started the thread.
Mug, you're too easily surprised.

I don't understand where these stupid people came from.
Where did they get their license?
Everybody knows if your left turn signal don't work,use your other one.
I swear,this is why we have so many fucking lunatics out there!
