How come when suspects run away from POLICE in their "Car", they always use there signal lights?

Question

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of trying to escape?

Answer 1

You are too funny! lol

Answer 2

People running from from us don't always use their signals...its that simple.

As for those that do, its a force of habit. Being involved in a car chase (whether you are the prey or the hunter) is stressful, your heart is racing, and you are getting an adrenalin dump. Many folks will automatically do things (like signaling turns) without thinking.

Answer 3

I've been in quite a few chases and haven't had one who used their signal lights.  Maybe it's because they don't want all of the traffic charges they will get on top of whatever reason they are running from the police...just a thought.

Answer 4

LOL! Never thought of it like that.
