IF they can't move a few inches to push a lever, do you really think

Half the time I can't see them because they are on the other side of my
viewing angle. There are very few that comply to old laws. Every day I come
upon a stopped car. I don't assume the blinker is on if I can't see it. I
give them no slack in pulling out onto a road.

I always do my best to turn my signal on before braking. I like to let the driver behind me
know why I am braking. I wish everyone would do that.

Turn signals don't stop cars. I never pull out in front of a car that has the turn signal on. I
wait until the driver has committed to the turn.

I love those drivers who signal 2 miles before the turn.

Turn signals should be used where it isn't obvious of the intention of
the driver. If one changes lanes or makes a turn from a main road, use
them. If one is in a turn only lane, I don't really care as it's obvious
of the intent. I see the opposite everyday.

As the should. If I was a cop I'd probably hold the record for tickets
issued for not using a signal. Many drivers just don't care to push the

That tells me that you "believe" turn signals. If you are trying to pull out from a side street

signal on, do you pull out? Isn't his intention "obvious"?

I don't pull out until the other driver has committed to the turn by beginning the turn. I don't care
if they slow to a crawl. Unless they begin to turn - or wave me out - I don't claim to know
their intention.

If one changes lanes or makes a turn from a main road, use

Maybe that's because they broke the law.

I look at them and wonder. You'd think a $50,000 vehicle would have
come with turn signals.

When I was a kid, cars did not come with turn signals. In those days
only options were radio and heater. I took drivers test signaling with
hand out window.

I always signal drivers in back but may not signal drivers in front as
if I am making a right turn and they are turning left they might figure
I will be slower than them and cut in front of me. I agree with others
that it is stupid to assume the signaler will do as he signaled and wait
to see car going in that direction.

Same here, and sometimes, I'll tap the breaks a few times so the driver
behind me can see my red tail lights flash before I actually come to a
stop.

His intentions are to turn which is the beginning of caution for
surrounding drivers. The question is where it is turning. What if it
that car passed you while you were waiting to exit that lot, you were
behind it and it turned without using the signal? If it passed me while
using the signal and I turned behind it, at least I know they will still
be turning or they left it on, but at least I can react accordingly
knowing their supposed intent.

I don't pull out until the other driver has committed to the turn by beginning the turn. I don't care

That's fine, but at least you are more aware of their intent to turn
than no signal at all. Whether you proceed or not before or after is
irrelevant.

You have a greater assumption the driver is turning than not, when the
signal is on. I would guess 99% of drivers who use signals remember to
turn them off since I rarely see that error. A greater % belongs to
those who don't use them. Therefore, I would place a safe bet the
vehicle is turning. Regardless of it's real intent, you plan to wait for
it's movement and the point becomes moot.

The question is where it is turning. What if it
that car passed you while you were waiting to exit that lot, you were
behind it and it turned without using the signal? If it passed me while
using the signal and I turned behind it, at least I know they will still

"Knowing their supposed intent"? That's not "knowing", that's "assuming".

And it's a closer approximation than not knowing at all.

Once again, nothing wrong with that and you can beat this issue till the
flies eliminate the horse. The fact is, you have a greater assumption a
driver will be turning with a lit signal than one with no signal.

Fairly valid? Now there's a strong endorsement.

I described a specific situation where I wait until I'm sure of the driver's intention: The situation
where my pulling out in front of the vehicle that has the turn signal on will result in an accident
if the vehicle does not turn.

How does that strech to "I think turn signals are useless"?

There's a running joke around here concerning new cars. Evidently,
the turning lights don't actually work. [g]

I'd be right behind you, issuing tickets to those individuals who
like to run stop signs and then slow to a crawl knowing vehicles are
behind them. If you were in such a hurry, you should stay on the
****ing gas. No point in impeding traffic. Or the people who switch
over to the left hand lane ONLY TO PACE The car in the right hand
lane, not overtake them (you know, pass!), but ride nose to nose
beside them. I'd give them the biggest ticket I could. And, I'd make
sure I was present on the specified court date so the judge doesn't
auto dismiss and let the person off. Nopers.

I'd also ticket the hell out of the people who like to ride around
with their bright lights on all the time, too. You're either running
the brights because you have a headlight out, or, you want to be an
asshole towards oncoming drivers and the one in front of you.

When you see a car coming towards you, turn the ****ing brights off.
You can turn them back on as soon as the car clears you. Why blind
the oncoming car? Are you trying to get drilled in a head on
collision?

That tells me that you "believe" turn signals. If you are trying
to pull out from a side street or parking lot, and you see a
vehicle approaching from the left with the right hand turn signal
on, do you pull out? Isn't his intention "obvious"?

It should be, but, the driver might have had that turn signal on for
another turn he made several miles ago and forgot it's still on.
Thus, he/she has no intention of making the turn as his/her vehicle
is indicating. I've followed people down the interstate that had
their turn signals on when they merged into traffic flow, only to
keep it on for miles down the road. How they don't realize it's still
on, is beyond me. My dash lights flash and I can hear a ding ding
sound in the event I can't see the dash light flashing. I shouldn't
need a ding ding sound, I should know because I've got an arrow
blinking to the right/left that my turn signal is still on, but..
YMMV.

I don't pull out until the other driver has committed to the turn
by beginning the turn. I don't care if they slow to a crawl.
Unless they begin to turn - or wave me out - I don't claim to know
their intention.

Same here. I like my ride, and, I don't want to smash it into
something because I assumed the driver was going to do what his ride
was indicating.

You know what they say about assuming...

I always do my best to turn my signal on before braking. I like
to let the driver behind me know why I am braking. I wish
everyone would do that.

Same here, and sometimes, I'll tap the breaks a few times so the
driver behind me can see my red tail lights flash before I
actually come to a stop.

That's a very courteous thing to do. I applaud you for it.

And I rarely ever see operators of vans,
pickup trucks, or police cars use them!
