    Is it just me or are cars now manufactured without turn signals? Maybe the ones they left the turn signals out of are dumped in Cali. I dunno. WTF.

    So I drove up to Costa Mesa this afternoon from San Diego after work to get my Wet Okole's installed. Not only was the traffic (predictably) atrocious on the 5, but I could not believe how many people don't use their turn signals when changing lanes! Even in bumper to bumper traffic! I mean WTF...c'mon son!!!!

    I had my windows down on the surface streets and this douche on my right just lazily starts drifting into my lane. I tend to drive pretty defensively so I anticipated it. I friggin exploded and started yelling at him through my window. His windows were down too...pretty sure he heard me. Made me feel better at least...:D

    I need to get a hold of Ed Lover to do a special on SoCal drivers

    noticed it too, not gonna lie, when theres not alot of cars close by i switch without signaling but with cars around its a must, some people are just stupid
    just get a PA speaker and scare the shit outta them when they switch lanes, or train horn :D

    No one uses signals anywhere. Hell I hardly see truckers using them.

    I've deduced the CA smog requirements require vehicle to be manufactured without turn signals :brianr:

    I was thinking maybe low blinker fluid and they are in fact trying to use their signals, but your reasoning makes way more sense :p

    Ties into it, fluid leaks or exhuast gases from actually using it so knock out the problem all in one shot and poof, no signals!

    Lol well I guess the wisdom can wait a few more years on my end. At least I'm smart enough to know that I should probably alert the cars behind me when changing lanes compared to the retards on the road today...

    That'll put you far enough ahead than most, especially in that shithole state
