Really, did your car come with optional signal lights that you declined? What is so hard about turning your signal light on when you are going to make a turn. It won’t run down the battery when the car is running. Oh, maybe too much trouble to move your arm to the switch. Common courtesy folks, use them they actually work.
And not after you start turning either. —Going Left or Right, or Not

Knowing this ass backward hole people probabally broke off the turn signal lever to use it to make their property more hick-ified and popped the bulbs out to install on their boat. Seeing too many newer pick up trucks lately with the box torn off and rebuilt out of wood.. wtf…
Maybe a local shortage of blinker fluid? *shrugs*
“Seeing too many newer pick up trucks lately with the box torn off and rebuilt out of wood.. wtf…”
Fisherman tend to do this to their working trucks. You can imagine how long it would take for a metal truck box to rust out when carrying wet fishing gear.
I find some drivers just think they’re “too good” for that. And of course, then there are the drivers who forget to turn their signal off. They come up to an intersection where you’re waiting at a stop sign/red light, they appear to be turning in where you are pulling from, and noooooo they are going straight on through. Instances like these make me happy I took defensive driving all those years ago. Expect the unexpected; take that last few seconds to THINK before proceeding. Sure makes for a safer (and yes annoying) outcome, LOL
That’s a cross-country thing. “Why do I need to signal? I’ve been turning left here for 30 years!”
avast0: Probabally last plenty of time if they took the 200 bucks worth of lumber and invested it in a decent bed liner. Problem solved, no more cost, and you keep the value of your beautiful new truck – vs throwing a wooden box and painting FORD on the back (even if its a chev) and then making a utility trailer out of the OEM box.
Maybe they dislike that incessant tick….tick….tick sound.
Then there are the ones that turn on the signal at the same time they turn the wheel……ya I can see you’re turning dip-stick….advance notice would be nice!
NO ONE ON THE ROAD EXISTS BE ME!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!! GET OUT OF MY WAY, I’M GONNA TURN IF I WANT TO!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Twats. The whole lot of them OP. Deep vessels of shit. Tunnel vision. Nothing exists outside my line of vision.
Ugh, I can’t deal.
When I purchased my 2010 car, I made sure that signal indicators weren’t an option. This puts me into a new level of road rage. OP. At least you know better. Whether being a ped or motorist. Fucking frustrates me. Not to mention the weavers.
“I turn now… good ruck everybody!!!!”
Hey, at least he was telling you where he just was by turning on the signal after turning!
I cannot believe the incompetency of drivers in the HRM. Tailgaters and no communicating when turning. No wonder pedestrians are getting knocked off all of the time. I saw a lady get out of her car and yell at a Driving Instructor too, when the guy had a student in the car. Come on have some respect….
all you can do is be hyper aware when your driving and assume that no one else knows how to drive
you’re
there are only so many blinks in each light …so you need to conserve them …I thought this was common knowledge.
