Three lanes of traffic no blinker? Good luck everybody else!
Silverforte
I don't have a car and have to walk everywhere. I have to be on constant alert because people turning going 15-25 never use their signals.
incompetentshrimp
people think that using their turn signal AFTER they turn it still counts
WPA2did911
Its gets to be like muscle memory at some point. I actually think i would need to try to not use them now.
BoobsWilly
That is a VW light cluster
dankalicious23
Agree. I don't know how the fuck some of these idiots got their licence .
SalmySwims
My fave is when they don't use the turn signal to get into the turn-only lane, but then use it in the turn-only lane.
BruceGreenIsAGod
"The decision to turn is my business and my business alone" some douche, probably"
PulpyOJ
I don’t understand why amber turn signals are not mandatory on US vehicles. They are more visible and probably adds little, if any, cost.
TheEvenPrez
Problem is some see a blinker and speed up to block you.
SamSquag94
I have to tell my wife all the time to use it.
Zetor
You mean the "park anywhere" lights?
Mobileuserwholikestoberandom
Those are the hazards
Zetor
There is a difference? Excuse me while I check my BMW manual.
ViolentlyOfferingBeerToSheep
last time i used my turn signal a deer flew over my head with a snake attatched to its dick and caused to other cars to slam into each other
ViolentlyOfferingBeerToSheep
i wont risk that shit again
mrchinoweeno
It's pointless of turning it on if you don't have any blinker fluid to begin with
Malinowykasztanek420
What's that ? Is it Safe to use?

canyouphilmein
Is that a scirocco?
Relaxaursphincta
When they do use it, they use it the exact moment they start the maneuver, because that's fucking useful.
quademan47
Dont forget about the 4 way stopsigns too.
patman3
Don’t have to, I drive a BMW
Mrej
Apparently it's too hard for Florida to use the turn signals. Like wtf do they even have intelligence capacity to even comprehend it?
KaJuN
And use it BEFORE changing lanes. I don't need to see a blinking light to know that you just cut me off. Thanks!
besoft
I'd have to put down my hoagie or my beer and that just aint gonna happen
TheoFromSteam
I press the button in the middle of my dashboard when driving, so everyone is ready for whatever direction Jesus takes me.
Vergenbuurg
The problem is, turn signals are for the benefit of others, not yourself, and that concept's just too difficult for the majority of people.
bot1010011010
This also applies to using your headlights at dawn or dusk. It's not so you can see where you're going, it's so other people can see you.
DumlenKarlsson
And people who don't put on their lights in bad weather. If I'm on a highway, I want to see the cars I might hit before I hit them.
Frenchgeek
Yes: Yhat's why I keep in blinking on long stretchs of straight road for no reason.
avyon
"what is that annoying clicking noise I keep hearing? Let me just turn up my volume.. ahh that's better"
Everythingisracist
I just turn my hazards on when I get in the car, full coverage.
Pookakke
Am I going left or right? That's the mystery!
Everythingisracist
I know, and that's what matters.
DragosCristurean
You just waste your blinker fluid.
Sulanis
This is insane at how many people do not do this. It's right beside the steering wheel. It couldn't be any easier to use. There is 0 excuse>
Sulanis
Not to use it. People are not cant rewd your mind. Which is why we invented a simple way of telling people around us what were about to do>
Sulanis
While in a car. It pisses me off when people dont use it. There again is 0 excuse not using them. 0
CrunchWrapFrappuccinoo
Me in my BMW glaring at everyone else because I'm not the problem.

Asked buddy who got a BMW "Does it have that safety feature where you can let other drivers know when you're about to change lanes?"...
crazyspelling
... His response, "No, I don't think it has that."
MamaRosie
Me to the entire state of PA. For some reason bitches don't like you knowing their next move, even if it may kill one of us.
poughdrew
The state motto of PA: drive in the left lane at or below the speed limit.
funkychimp9001
Having driven on I-70 through PA last summer, can confirm.
MamaRosie
L m a O. That's their fav place to do this. That and Semi trucks driving in the left lane.
rtkutless92
You must be getting us confused with New Jersey. Clearly the worst drivers in the country.

crazyspelling
NJ is bad, but VA drivers are MEAN and will actively block you out.
AddictiveTendancies
My favorite is when you're stopped and behind someone at a red light. When it turns green the fucker in front of you turns his signal on...
HowVeryDareU
I do this unless I have music playing. The clicking sound is highly irritating. Sorry not sorry.
MissMittens
For some reason, police are trained to do this in New York. Something about losing a tail? My ex would do this
MissMittens
I do this at intersections where you can't turn on red so people behind me don't honk. It saves .e a headache and a ticket.
dasoffendor
People who do that at corners where it's ok to turn right on red make me want to watch the world burn in the fire of a thousand suns
Shpadoinkleman
Those are almost as much fun as the motherfuckers who only turn on their indicators AFTER they've started changing lanes.
NotoriousPNG
I don’t understand the problem with that. What were you going to do with that information while stopped at a red light?
shankycat
Switch lanes before you get to the line.
AAvacadoThaanks
But for what reason. You will still be stuck at the red light, just now in a different lane
shankycat
In some circumstances you could get stuck at the light until it turns red a second time, but more commonly it's about getting passed by the
shankycat
5 people you had passed earlier, because you were in a rush or prefer driving faster than they had been driving.
TwoBadMiloshDead
I don't get it. Do you prefer he had the blinkers on for the duration of the red light?
blmtn1
You do get it! Give you a chance to move to the other lane vs waiting. Rush rush rush
TwoBadMiloshDead
Around here multi lane roads usually have dedicated lane for turning left. If I am in it I am not blinking for a 60s. If I am not in a...
TwoBadMiloshDead
...multi lane road it makes no difference if I blink before green or after green. The person behind me has no choice anyway.
Keddar
You know, the more you use the blinker, the more desensitized you get to it. If the click bothers you, you don't signal enough.
SomeDetroitGuy
Yes. Literally yes. You know - give folks around you advance warning of your intention to turn.
TwoBadMiloshDead
No dude, I am not blinking on red, I live in a big city. Sometimes I get stuck for 2-3 red lights, I will not blink for the whole duration
TwoBadMiloshDead
That might take up to 10mins
justadude99
I live in a big city also, I don't get the issue of having it on the entire time since that's what it's made for
sillyjeff
Considering that the point of a turn signal is to let other drivers know if you're turning in advance, what do you think?
TwoBadMiloshDead
If a person in front of me had blinkers on for the duration of the red light it would annoy me. I have no choice but to wait for...
TwoBadMiloshDead
...him to turn anyway.
TwoBadMiloshDead
So, yes, 5s in advance is OK. 60s in advance is annoying.
GodofBacon
If it's a two lane road you can avoid waiting for him to turn by simply switching lanes ahead of time.
LoverInTheRain
Do you mean if its possible to go both straight and to turn? Otherwise im confused if it's only turn, no reason to listen to tik tok blinker
Chiner
Apart from the law/highway code, at least where I am from
AddictiveTendancies
Yes, that's what I meant. Also, the irony from my lack of communication skills is not lost on me : D
LoverInTheRain
Not a problem at all, i also have those moments. We clarified it :)
GaddockTeej
There is, and that reason is common curtesy. You see, the people behind you might not know it’s turn only because those intersections...
LoverInTheRain
Strongly disagree. You have road signs and painted markings on road for directions. I'd say most of drivers know how the traffic flows. Not
LoverInTheRain
even counting traffic lights with specific turn lights. Common courtesy makes no sense in your description, each driver should focus on his
LoverInTheRain
turning and turn signals when driving. While stationary doesn't matter at all. Having blinker on for a minute on red light is plain dumb imo
GaddockTeej
...often only have that information painted on the street. Also, people across from you in that intersection might not know.
HowVeryDareU
it's not other drivers responsibility to tell you what the lane is for.
TwoBadMiloshDead
Why would you would people across care? They have right of way.
GaddockTeej
Because I might be able to turn at the same time as someone else and go faster, therefore letting more cars behind me cross the intersection
TwoBadMiloshDead
Your blinkers on red will not help with that. How would they know if it is or it isn't turn only? It just indicates your intention to turn.
GaddockTeej
Which is exactly the point of blinkers.
TwoBadMiloshDead
Yes. When you want to turn you blink. IMHO, not 60s before you want to turn and not 100m before you turn. I signal 10-20m, or 5-10s before.
