Using turn signals no longer "cool"???

Question

Has anyone noticed lately, that people on the road do not use blinkers? Does this annoy anyone else besides me? It's a common courtesy on the road, and yet it has gone by the wayside...

Answer 1

It's not just a common courtesy on the road to use turn signals. It's a driver's legal obligation to use them.  Not using turn signals is just as illegal as running a red light or driving the wrong way down a 1-way street.  Breaking the law is breaking the law.  

Not only is it dangerous for everyone around someone who fails to signal their intent to turn or to change lanes, I don't think I've ever seen anyone get pulled over for failing to signal, even when they do it right in front of a police cruiser.  

If the police could somehow crack down on people failing to signal like they try to crack down on DUIs etc., I think you'd see a lot less people failing to signal in the future.

Answer 2

YEAH, especially in anchorage, ak. people who don't use turn signals are douches. especially in the winter, people can easily rear-end the idiot who didn't use their turn signal. I FEEL YOUR PAIN!

Answer 3

Not only is it 'un-cool', it is also illegal (in every state).  I NEVER make a lane change, 90 degree turn with out using mine.

Answer 4

omg i totally know what you mean. this jackass didn't turn on his blinkers and my mom almost ran into him. what i think you should do is call the mayor or something or the cops and file a report and if the cops check those people they'll go 2 jail...hope this helps ;)

Answer 5

It is not that they are no longer cool, it is the fact that they are just to

hard to figure out how  to work them.

Answer 6

Answer 8

Answer 9

It is also illegal!

I drive a very big truck and always get cut off by little cars swerving over not using turn signals. One of these days I will plow over one!

There are several driver-types when it comes to ignoring turn signals – Impulsive, Lazy, Forgetful, Swervers, Ostriches, Followers, and the Dare Devils.

This is very aggravating to say the least........
