When do you use your turn signals?

On a recent trip to NE Ohio, I noticed that an overwhelming majority of the drivers there did not use their turn signals, ever. So, that got me to thinking; when do you use your turn signals?

 

you've got to be joking

 

Mostly when turning. And changing lanes. And I don't think he's joking.

 

Whenever I feel like it. Sometimes IDGAF and won't signal. If someone is obviously waiting for me to turn before they pull out in front of me, I will signal for them as a courtesy. It all depends.












I put way to much effort into this...

 

Every single time you turn. It should be so habitual, that you never even think about it, it just happens.

If not, you're a dick, plain and simple.

 

Generation gap???

 

well paint me a penis then! i abstain from habitual turn signals

 

Hmm, I usually use my turn signals for when I'm turning...

 

I dont use my blinker is parking lots, or turning in to or out of my driveway, but the rest of the time I do.

More like demographics I bet. It seems like more midwesterners don't signal than other parts of the country I've been to.

 

When im the only one on the road

 

There's a road by my place that is a left turn only, the road doesn't go any other way. I've gotten so used to using my signal that I occasionally see the turn and put on my signal without evening thinking

 

Not so sure. Ever driven I'm a major east coast city. Lol!

I believe it may be generational
Seems younger folks are less disciplined and respectful toward others.

I use them all the time , as DTRL

 

your right, you must drive otr too.

 

So if you don't signal I guess that is some kinda display of dominance or something I don't get it...maybe compensating? I use em cause I want to keep traffic moving and me moving through it just makes sense to me.

 

Where's the when do you wear your seatbelt thread?



I do have a good no turn signal story about when I almost got ran over, but I don't feel like typing it.

 

There's not lots of traffic where I live. I use them when I turn, I'm not always good about using them when passing or changing lanes or when no one is around. But in all fairness, if a lane ends, everyone knows that you're getting over.

Only time it bothers me that people fail to signal are when they are turning.
