turn signal or no turn signal---

I hate when people do not used their turn signals I don't know why they do not use them. I have seen people doing the arm movements insted of the tun signals maybe their light were no good but that is better than nothing. My husband those that sometimes and we get into fights most of the time becasue I tell him you are going to get pulled over one of this day but he gets mad and tells me that I should drive next time.

I always use my turn signal while driving. I also always wear my seat belt too. I think that is more than just common courtesy. It alerts drivers around you of the direction you intend to go into. It is dangerous not to use your turn signal. Imagine car A is in the left lane, car B in the center lane, and car C is in the right lane. When all of a sudden car A and car C decide to go into the center lane at the same time since car B has accelerated far in front of the other two. Well if car A and car C don't use their turn signals and just merge into that center lane at the same time then BOOM! And voila a traffic accident and instant headaches for all parties involved. That is the reason that you should ALWAYS use a turn signal. Sometimes my husband does not use his turn signal and frankly it makes me nervous. I think honestly that more men than women don't use their turn signals. I don't know if it is that they are too lazy to use it or if they think it is unnecessary, but it is an essential piece of equipment to use while driving a car. Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

One of the first things you're taught here is MSM (Mirror, Signal, Manoeuvre...) - glance over at passenger mirror, arc your head over looking into the rear view mirror and finally the driver's mirror to gain a clear view of vehicles behind you... if it's safe, Signal to to move... Finally, make the manoeuvre... When changing from a fast lane to a slower lane, since you're travelling faster than the vehicles in the slower lane, it's not necessary to signal... This is what I do... But, there are a lot of people out there who do not know the correct sequence... eg. they'll pull out, and then signal... idiots...

I always use my turn signal! Even if I'm the only car on the road! I even use my turn signal when I pull into my own driveway or when parking my car in a parkinglot! I even use it when I'm on a road that ends and there is only one direction I can turn! It's just a habit, and I think it's a good habit to get into! I'd rather use it when it's unnecessary than forget to use it when it is necessary!

I HATE IT when people do not use their signal lights. USE THEM, PEOPLE. That's what they're there for! If you're not using them, you just wasted some odd dollars (or whatever your currency is) to buy a car WITH signal lights that you DO NOT use. Return it and ask for one that doesn't have one. Though I doubt that there is one in my side of the world. I also hate it when people "forget" that they have their signal lights on! Come on, now!! Anyways, it's the only way you can communicate to other drivers where you're headed. Or which way. It's just safer for everyone to use the signal lights.

You have just posted about a huge pet peeve of mine. The worst was one day when I was at a four way stop intersection and my car and the one across from me stopped at the same time. We both started going when suddenly they turned in front of my car and I had to hit the brakes to avoid hitting them. No turn signal. Did they not think I would go at the same time as them since if they were going straight we would not have cross in front of one another? Or maybe they changed their mind last minute and it was pure stupidity rather than forgetting to use the signal. Either way they shouldn't be allowed to drive!

I swear some people think turn signals are optional equipment. I bet they don't know you can get a ticket for that. Yep, I use mine, but I'm very wary of other drivers and don't automatically assume that they use theirs.

I almost always signal. Just lately my left signal rear light went out and I haven't been able to replace it yet. But there is a list of things i have to get done with my car and without my car. So I am trying to remember everything but keep forgetting. I may pay a visit today to the mechanic. The only time i dont signal is if there is no other vehicles around then it seems kind of pointless.

OMG! I cannot stand people who do not use their turn signals!! I mean, come on really, is it really THAT hard to turn it on? I mean, maybe in your car its difficult to reach or to maneuver, but I know in my car or any car that I have ever driven its been relatively easy to do so...and when they are making a left turn & just sit in the middle of the road without their left turn signals on, that makes me even more mad!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi PSmith, I always use my indicators when turning but I am a bit of a rarity in that respect. Greek drivers rarely use them although for some mysterious reason they quite often drive along with their hazard lights flashing. I expect that they don't use them as they don't have a free hand to turn them on as usually their hands will be full of other things whilst driving. It does get annoying especially with a sudden turn in front without warning.

I always turn the signal whenever I need to do that. It is good to show people where you are going so that the cars behind you or next to you would know what to react. don't be selfish on the road. What you do will effect others safety. What is so hard to turn the signal. I totally can not forgive people use LAZY to mean not to turn the signal. As a driver, we need to obey the traffic rules as well.

I HATE people who don't use their turn signal. When they slow down way to early to make a turn and your lane gets backed up, or when they slam on the breaks right before the turn with no signal. It's just asking for an accident in my opinion and turn signaling doesn't take that much effort.

i think a good driver shouldnot use his index finger to give directions, because the other drivers never see the man behind the window, they just make judgements according to the turn signals, maybe that is partly why there are so many people who die from car accidents every year. if u are a driver, then be a good one.

I always use the turn signal - it's an automatic reflex for me. And if I'm in a left turn only lane and I've adjusted the steering wheel and the turn signal goes off, I turn it back on to signal

I will use signal whenever I need to turn or switch lane, even there's no vehicle behind me. I don't want to make a habit of thinking everything is safe or everyone else know where I am going (unless there's only one way road, why should I give a signal?) It's like my driving teacher said, the safest road is actually the most dangerous. We assume everything is fine so we take thing for granted.

I think you should use the turn signal thing at all times, It would be like blind driving if you dont. thx

I use indicators always.I am not lazy to use turn signal.

i normally use indicators while turnings rather than hand, but in the traffic times i use both my indicators as well as my hand because some people are no seen the indicators so that i prefer both in the traffic time only...

i always use my blinker. its very handy to have a car with the ability to just tap on the turn signal stalk and the car automatically gives you 3 blinks for changing lanes. i use my blinkers just because i feel its the right thing to do, and nothing urks me more than someone he just believes other road users can read their mind when the want to change lane. however, my biggest pet peeve is when someone is driving down the middle lane of the highway with his left or right signal on. when i see that, i just have a big desire to pass the person for i feel they are tired and dont see their indicator is on, or just a bad driver.
