Your Bimmer got scratched? I hate old people drivers too, I'm just starting to drive (Standard and Auto) and the last thing I want is old people hindering my learning. For some reason they all drive Cadillacs or Buicks and hang 20 km/h below the limit. Just the other day , we passed a Lexus LS400 on the 401 with and old women drive, she had her turn signal on for about 3 kms, until she was out of sight. I guess she was going to turn into the guard rail.

ahahahah yeah right, i've never seen old people drivers on the 401 for some reason.... i think they're scared of the 401

atleast in the states the got Max. Speed limit and they also have a Min. Speed limit..... so if you drive to slow you get a ticket, cause driving slow and holdin up traffic i think will cause wayyyyy more accidents then drivin like 10 over the limit, but drivin smart
here in canada you can drive as fuckin slow as you want..... our cops here are fuckin retarded too.... i always see them driving in the passing lane slower than people in the right lane, they're blocking traffic!! and they're freakin cops, idiots!

I signal, then look, then if it's clear I move lanes.

Somebody actually wrote into the paper saying "You know why I don't signal?? So none of you dorks can follow me!!"

OK, now that's schizophrenia if I ever heard it.

Well, as my mom said, you don't signal for the cars you can see... you signal for the ones you can't see.

And I signal even in parking lots.

I do as well - and don't see the problem with it? Good driving habit? Besides, it's not like a concious thing - becomes fairly automatic.

I usually signal. But lately I've noticed that if I'm just cruising around I'll forget it... :o So long as I'm paying attention to driving (which I will admit I don't always do) I will signal in advance.

I look then indicate then move.

when pulling off of the road. Indicate, pull over, slow down.
I hate the people that slam on the brakes then indicated then turn, it drives me

I signal anytime I change lanes while driving. Signaling in the parking lot...it depends. If it is crowded I do, and if someone is backing out and I want their spot I signal to let others know I intend on taking that spot.

A signal can make the difference in whether or not you are at fault in an accident. I got rearended nearly 10 years ago when I was turning into my driveway at work. The guy who hit me tried to tell the cops I didn't use my signal and that i just slowed down in my lane for no reason. About 8 people jumped out of the crowd and told the cop I had my signal on and had already started my turn in the driveway when I was hit. 2 of my coworkers had witnessed it as well. Needless to say he got a nice n nasty ticket.

I signal fanatically. It's kind of ridiculous. Like Boingo said, parking lots and everything. I can't stand people that don't use their signals. I cringe when I am in a car with a friend, and they commit a driving error, like not signalling. I think the world, and particularly this country, would be a better place to live if people respected the rules of the road. Within a reasonable extent, I have no problems with speeders. But people that don't use signals, people that drive in the left hand lane when they shuld be using that lane for passing only, people that drive with their brights on and "blind" on-coming traffic, etc. ruin driving for those of us that make it our civic duty to respect the rules of the road. I would love to see these rules enforced nore stringently by police.
