Turn Signals

How does everyone feel about assholes that don't use turn signals?
It's one thing if you're in the middle of bum-fuck-eqypt and there's no one around, but during rush hour traffic on a major freeway I appreciate a little "blinky-blinky". Just this morning I was doing about 115 in the left hand lane of the freeway on my way to work. I decided to simply swing around the piece of shit ford tempo in front of me. Being the good driver that I am :rolleyes: I turned on my signal to make the lane change. Just before I switched lanes, this ass fuck decided to take my sqeaky clean lane without signalling.

My Judgement: [B]Death Penalty!!! :evillol:

:rolleyes:
Just to remind our American friends, the entire world, except for the US and, I think, Myanmar, uses kilometers per hour.

Still, not using turn signals is discourteous at best, supremely hazardous at worst.

He's from Texas...therefore, speed = mph.

Thank you!!! Although for all other practical purposes I do prefer metric. My 35 centimeter cock feels the same way.

I always put my signals on, even when I'm speeding, flash before I cut people off :lol2:

I like it how people develop the habit of hitting the turn signal when they are already changing lanes. Somehow I have doubts that this will prevent an accident

I have actually seen people signal AFTER they've turned...


But why should those people signal? THEY knew where they were going!!! :rolleyes:

yeah, why does anyone else need to know what you are doing? they are only going 115, they have enough time to figure it out themselves.

i use the turn signal even if it's 3 am and i haven't seen a car for the last 15 minutes.

but if you're turning, it's hazardous even if you do have your turn signals on. example: me waiting to pull into my street and dumbass hits me...don't know how you can not see a car (like SHE told the cop), but i guess it is possible

The only way I can keep from flipping out on these people is to pretend they got screwed into buying a car without them. As in, "Oh, poor bastard got a BMW but it didn't even come with signals! Bet he feels dumb." That makes me feel better. Same with people who can't maintain a speed on the freeway, I pretend they couldn't afford cruise and all is well again.

That explains it. The housewife in front of me today must have inadvertently been sold a Dodge Caravan without a throttle...

I only use indicators if I merge into a really tiny gap in traffic and only to "calm down" the person behind :)

Couldn't give a flying fuck if others use them or not.

Why does the Caravan come equipped with 7 seats? So when you hit a hill, you've got enough people to push 'er up.

To quote a popular bumper sticker: "Horn Broken, watch for finger."
It's not just a sticker anymore... it's the way I choose to live my life.

heh...the Dodge Caravans sound sweet when you hit their 4000 rpm rev limiter...lol

i agree with the lack of throttle thing on em too.

the way i deal with people that don't use turn signals or do something retarded in general, i just yell at em and it makes me feel better. even though they can't hear me, the stress release feels good

About the turn signals, yeah most people are retarded and apparently they don't understand that turn indicators don't make their car handle any better, and when I say that, I mean it. Here's an Example:

A guy in front of you decides to change lanes, so being smart, he just turns the wheel and signal simultaneously because apparently, turn signals help you change lanes better and for some people, corner better.

Vancouver, and the tri-city area (both in BC, canada) are full of these type of drivers, don't ever come here if you hate people like this, and make sure you bring a club cuz you'll want to do something to the guy sitting in a base model porsche boxter who just cut you off with his license plate dangling on one bolt just mocking you, with his seat reclined back at 180 degrees thinking he is racing in the Monaco grand prix with his tiptronic automatic transmission.

I have a habbit of using my turn signals regardless of how fast I'm going or what I'm doing. I was doing 140 down an empty road and turned my turn signals to change lanes...it's just a normal reaction I guess.

I always use my turn signals. If people don't I use the air horns. I HATE driving the camry so I use the truck all the time. Once when hauling a stock trailer a lady ran into me and said she didn't see me turning. Luckily it was just Case(the spotted on in my advatar) and he was loose and is VERY curious. He only suffered a little burn on his muzzle. I used an arc welder to heat up the metal before cutting with sawzall. It did help making the cutting process quieter and faster. My question is how do you miss something like that?

I agree, it pisses me off when people don't use turn signals. It causes wrecks and stuff. I mean, i guess its okay to be an asshole driver... just so long as no one gets hurt.

Yes, it's rude. I love the people who yak away on their fuc%^&# cell phone and cut you off and don't even realize it. Then you honk, maybe speed by and flip them off. They look at you like" what the hell did I do??".
