How often do you come upon these people that dont use their turn signals,you sit there and wait for them then boom they turn,without using their blinker,this pisses me off ,but then i find my self doing it to sometimes,what about you ,tell me do you use them or not does it tick you off when people dont use them.

It happens here all the time. Most times the drivers are on their cell phones and driving one handed. I always use blinkers, don't even really havr to think about it, just do it naturally.


myLot reputation of 73/100. wiessied (766)  6 years ago

Ive seen those cell phone drivers alot they dont care about nothing they sit at the stop extra long then turn without warning.


myLot reputation of 74/100. lauriefnp (4173)  6 years ago

In NY state they are actively ticketing for talking on the cell phone while driving; $90 for the first offense and $500 for every offense after that. I already got the first one, so I won't be doing that anymore, for sure! But I have always been good about using turn signals. I think that was one of my mother's pet peeves when she was teaching me to drive, and it stuck with me all these years. I get really annoyed when others don't use them, and even more annoyed when they flick it on at the very last second, as if it's an afterthought.

Actually, It bothers me also. I'm not going to say I'm the best driver out there but I do use my blinkers. Reason being because If I get upset because a driver is doing something...mentually knowing I do follow the rules of driving, it gives me every right to honk my horn...or flash the lights...lol


myLot reputation of 73/100. wiessied (766)  6 years ago

yes it sure does give us the right to honk and give them the finger.

i always use my turn signal and it makes me mad when people do not. i always yell at my boyfriend when he is driving and doesn't use his. I tell him that he has been driving tractor trailer too long because those are the drivers i see all the time that do not use them.


myLot reputation of 73/100. wiessied (766)  6 years ago

Yes and them tracto trailors should always use them making them wide turns and all.

I get alittle irked when I am behind someone that you think will be going straight throught the intersection. Then at the last second they decide to make a left turn and turn on the signal light at the last second. Now you are stuck behind them at least untill the next light

This happends to me all the time to. Someone is in front of me and they dont have there blinkers on and you dont no what way they are going, that makes me really mad to.Turn signals are ment to use,thats why they are put in cars for safety. Not using your turn signals causes accidents.


myLot reputation of 73/100. wiessied (766)  6 years ago

It sure doses cause accidents even when they use them then they dont turn ,and bam someone pulls out.

Don't you know that cars come without turn signals and you have to order them as extra equipment? Then if you do get them, how many people actually read the manual to learn how to use them? Way back when, it was appropriate to use hand signals. That might start a riot in today's world. The solution is to take a course in mind reading so that you can learn how to read others minds.


myLot reputation of 73/100. wiessied (766)  6 years ago

mind reading would be good to know when driving.

I hate drivers like this! I wish they would get a ticket for such behavior! I am usually an easy going person but when I am behind the wheel, I get aggressive. I talk to vehicles in front of me or behind me. Blinkers are there for a reason and these people not using them cause accidents and many time people die!


myLot reputation of 73/100. wiessied (766)  6 years ago

i do the same thing swearing those car in front and behind me.

I always always use my indicators and when other people don't use them it bugs me. I feel like getting out of the car, walking up to them and wringing their necks. I especially hate people who turn off roundabouts without indicating, and those who turn onto a roundabout, indicate that they're turning right off it and KEEP indicating right, even when they're supposed to switch on the left indicator as they turn off.

(For those of you who are thinking I've got it all wrong and are about to respond to tell me so, remember we in Ireland drive on the WRONG side of the road)

This annoys me more than I can even begin to convey. You would think that if someone is going to spend $40k on a new SUV then maybe they would spend the extra $200 on the apparently optional turn signals. I mean they must be an option right? People don't seem to use them.
I use mine even on dirt roads, just to make sure it's a subconscious habit.


myLot reputation of 73/100. wiessied (766)  6 years ago

Yes i find myself using them pulling out of my drive way.
