You are a stupid mother fucker I'd have no problem running off the road if you swerve through lanes nearly missing cars without your damn turn signal. Also if you leave you turn signal on for 5 turns without actually turning....

i use my signal to move into a turning lane but once i'm in it, especially if the light is red, i turn the signal off. everyone knows you're gonna turn and it's annoying to sit there and listen to while you're stopped at the light

why use it on the freeway, if people know you are gonna get over, they try and block you, even if there isnt any traffic

I was kind of surprised when I was driving to work one day and the sun was to my back causing a horrific glare but all the cars behind me had their headlights on so I could see them. Made me fucking proud.

i use my turn signals everywhere....on the freeway, hell even when i make a right turn. i get pissed off at people who don't. if i see someone on the freeway trying to get over and they don't have their turn signal on, i will block them. if someone has their turn signal on waiting to get over and there is no room, i will normally slow down and let them in (unless they are darting all over the place trying to get ahead of everyone).

I use them. All the time. Even in turn only lanes.

If you don't, you should be
- stabbed in each knee
- have your nipples stapled to each other
- have your genitals mutilated
- assraped without lube

and THEN shot in the head. Maybe twice in the eyes, and one to the forehead.

^^Exactly what he said.

False. I have gotten over numerous times BECAUSE of my turn signal. This morning, in the parking lot of 40, some nice gentleman let me in. I had my blinker on, and then made eye contact.

i use turn signals religiously... people that done are one of my biggest pet peeves.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE GOING TO SLOW DOWN AND TURN ON A TWO LANE ROAD... LET ME KNOW YOU ARE TURNING NOT JUST SLOWING DOWN FOR SOMETHING

"§ 20-154. Signals on starting, stopping or turning.

(a) The driver of any vehicle upon a highway or public vehicular area before starting, stopping or turning from a direct line shall first see that such movement can be made in safety, and if any pedestrian may be affected by such movement shall give a clearly audible signal by sounding the horn, and whenever the operation of any other vehicle may be affected by such movement, shall give a signal as required in this section, plainly visible to the driver of such other vehicle, of the intention to make such movement. The driver of a vehicle shall not back the same unless such movement can be made with safety and without interfering with other traffic.

(b) The signal herein required shall be given by means of the hand and arm in the manner herein specified, or by any mechanical or electrical signal device approved by the Division, except that when a vehicle is so constructed or loaded as to prevent the hand and arm signal from being visible, both to the front and rear, the signal shall be given by a device of a type which has been approved by the Division.

Whenever the signal is given the driver shall indicate his intention to start, stop, or turn by extending the hand and arm from and beyond the left side of the vehicle as hereinafter set forth.

Left turn – hand and arm horizontal, forefinger pointing.

Right turn – hand and arm pointed upward.

Stop – hand and arm pointed downward.

All hand and arm signals shall be given from the left side of the vehicle and all signals shall be maintained or given continuously for the last 100 feet traveled prior to stopping or making a turn. Provided, that in all areas where the speed limit is 45 miles per hour or higher and the operator intends to turn from a direct line of travel, a signal of intention to turn from a direct line of travel shall be given continuously during the last 200 feet traveled before turning.

Any motor vehicle in use on a highway shall be equipped with, and required signal shall be given by, a signal lamp or lamps or mechanical signal device when the distance from the center of the top of the steering post to the left outside limit of the body, cab or load of such motor vehicle exceeds 24 inches, or when the distance from the center of the top of the steering post to the rear limit of the body or load thereof exceeds 14 feet. The latter measurement shall apply to any single vehicle, also to any combination of vehicles except combinations operated by farmers in hauling farm products.

(c) No person shall operate over the highways of this State a right-hand-drive motor vehicle or a motor vehicle equipped with the steering mechanism on the right-hand side thereof unless said motor vehicle is equipped with mechanical or electrical signal devices by which the signals for left turns and right turns may be given. Such mechanical or electrical devices shall be approved by the Division.

(d) A violation of this section shall not constitute negligence per se. (1937, c. 407, s. 116; 1949, c. 1016, s. 1; 1951, cc. 293, 360; 1955, c. 1157, s. 9; 1957, c. 488, s. 2; 1965, c. 768; 1973, c. 1330, s. 19; 1975, c. 716, s. 5; 1981, c. 599, s. 4; 1985, c. 96.)

not only should you use them, you should turn them on before you start slowing down, that's the whole idea

from other thread:

if i see someone signaling that they're going to make a left turn down a road i'm making right on, i don't signal. i don't want to chance them getting in front of me and going slower.

you gotta trick them.

i use them when i'm passing or turning in a straight/turn lane. if i'm in a right hand or left hand only turn lane, it's pretty obvious what i'm going to do so i don't even bother. i think they make me look silly.
