Title: Do you indicate when changing lanes?
Post by: Cerveza mas fina on October 18, 2012, 12:35:42 PM
This shit is mandatory right?

I swear next time someone cuts me off and indicates while they are half way on my lane I will drive up to them at the light and kick in their window.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves on the road. Use your damn turn signal.

wish more people would

sometimes I wonder just how much of a rush people are in that they'd shift three lanes at 80+ mph in hard rain without signaling...on the same highway where there were three accidents in the past two miles.

Annoys the fuck out of me. Also people who fucking indicate AFTER the robot turns green grates on my jaw.  Jesus Christ I dont want to have to deal with you waiting for other cars to cross, if you had your indicators on INDICATING your intention to turn ahead I would have chose another lane.

I turn it on for a couple seconds before changing lanes and then immediately turn it off once one wheel has entered the other lane. I feel like it's less annoying that way.

What really annoys me is the people who have no concept of speed. Constantly gassing and breaking thinking they'll get wherever they're going a little bit faster when all they end up doing is overtaking a car maybe once a minute. A car length is like 1 second on the highway.

I don't see the point.  You'll know I'm changing lanes once I merge into yours.  Deal with it.

The turn signal around here is used more as a notification that you've already moved into their lane. It's like a "deal with it" sign.
Title: Re: Do you indicate when changing lanes?
Post by: ToxicAdam on October 18, 2012, 02:43:29 PM
I always embarrass my wife because I lay on the horn when someone doesn't use a signal. It makes me mental.

It's not a big deal when people are merging on the highway, but if you are making a damned left hand turn, you better use a signal.

I hate it when you're waiting to turn into a street and you see a car without a blinker so you think they're gonna keep going straight, but then they turn  before they get to you without indicating a turn, so you've wasted your time.

fuck those people.

When I go back to see relatives in the rural areas around Pittsburgh, no one uses their left turn signal, then they come to an almost complete halt as they enter the store/house/shopping center driveway. Every time. I always wondered if that was a consequence of driving in snow or something.

Nope. What are you going to do about it?

Pray that I'll pass you further down the highway as you've been pulled over for being a douche.

This has actually happened before, and I've taken great pleasure in witnessing it.

One of the reasons I hate the Eastside so much are the numerous idiots who merge onto I-5 at Mercer and then cross FOUR FUCKING LANES OF TRAFFIC AT ONCE WITHOUT USING THEIR BLINKER SO THEY CAN GET ON 520 AND HEAD TO BELLEVUE.

I do, all the time and well in advance. I get scoffed at for doing it even when parking. The wife, on the other hand, being an American from Michigan, indicates as she turns, in a one-motion sweep as she turns the wheel.  :'(

If people aren't signaling to get over I don't do them any favors- if they signal I do what I can to make it happen. An argument could be made as to why signal if no one is on the road- its about developing the reflex. Its like saying please and thank you. COME ON, SOCIETY!

Always have, always will.

Although it was hard to adopt such a principle growing up, as it was associated with "non-cool/dorky things drivers do" along with fastening seat belts. At least the ridiculing latter is on its way out.

I remember a time when my friends wouldn't let go the fact I signaled to park in our garage. They harped on that for an entire summer lol.

Oh, man. It's not specifically about signaling, but as I was trying to leave a parking lot to merge onto a rush-hour boulevard there was only one person in front of me also trying to merge. Only, he wasn't trying to merge, as I found out as he waited through several openings in the traffic large enough to admit a merge. He was trying to get into the left-hand turn lane directly across from us, across three lanes, during morning rush.

I ended up sitting through an entire light, and gradually realizing that he wasn't going to move, I just about gave myself a fucking brain hemorrhage, but when the signal cycled to red again and traffic came to a fucking complete halt again in front of us, and someone was allowing him space to get in, and he still wasn't moving, I hit the horn long and hard. I had to wonder if the guy was just asleep, distinguished mentally-challenged, or another American who is typically willfully ignorant of people around them.

Never. I abruptly change lanes when going under overpasses and slow down to 15 miles an hour in very populated areas too. Old habits die hard.

That seemed like it could be funny when I read it, so I clicked the link and was terribly disappointed.

I always signal. Even in the slight right turn in my 10mph neighborhood right before my house at midnight when I know no one else is around. It's just habit.
