Do you always use your turn signals when driving?

KitKat

yes I do, for safety, courtesy, and also not to mention avoiding a ticket.

Mellie

Always, don't even think about it, just do it. The habit will save you someday.

Lol

I do use them every time I'm gonna turn. I think its a habit now, I don't even think about it I just do it.

strokingbest

YES!!!!!! NUTJOB, WHY?

I ALWAYS use turn signals... Especially when I'm at work since I drive a semi-trailer. What I don't get is why people ignore them and speed up from a fairly wide distance away and cut me off before I can pass a camper and get back into the right lane??!!! I use them all the time in my personal truck as well since it is like second nature to me and just a courteous -- not to mention safe-- practice. I don't recall placing a sign on any vehicle that I drive that reads omnipotent, clairvoyant or mind reader.

As far as trying to make a "Citizen's traffic stop"..... Good luck with that one, you'll more than likely stir up more trouble than you'd like. I agree that some parties should be held to the same standard that they enforce, but in their case, I think we can let it slide since they put their lives on the line daily for us.

I always use my turn signals --- but, lately I've been coming across these new model cars that don't seem to have any turn signal capability!

I always use them. There are times when I wait unnecessarily for an oncoming car at an intersection to go by only to find that they are making a right turn and I could have gone ahead if they had used their signal. It's kind of annoying.

I use it all the time, even when I know for sure that there are no cars (or police officers) around. It teaches you discipline. I don't mind the sound. Actually, that prevents you from forgetting the signal on. But you knew that, I am sure about it. I always have a song, in my head, tha goes with the clicking sound. It helps me enjoy the annoying sound.

I always do even when I'm turning into my drive way.

I do always. I kind of like the clicking sound.

scruffycat

Yeah, it's a habit. I use 'em for switching lanes, turning corners... sometimes, without thinking, when the road veers, I put them on, too.

More often than not, my problem is remembering to turn them off after I've switched lanes. When I have children in the car with me, they love to call that to my attention: "Why do you still have your blinker on?"

:-P

**EDIT** Where the cops are concerned... I'm usually prepared to give them the right of way, anyway... no telling when they'll get an emergency call. You, however? There are no markings on your car that make me think you might decide to turn willy nilly.

no....just when I plan on turning

ALWAYS!! Wait until you wreck - you'll think twice!

If you use indicators all the time, it becomes a habit.

However as you only use them, when you think no one is around, you could easily forget, and cause an accident, and guess what you'd be at fault.

So don't be stupid, and use your indicators.

i use them all the time. the purpose of a turn signal is to WARN others of your intentions. if someone is out of your view (blind spot) or you're just not quite as attentive as you should be and don't notice another vehicle; your turn signal WARNS them of your intentions and gives them a fair chance to react by taking evasive maneuvers, or alerting you to their presence (horn).

As far as the police officer goes...I tend to just leave well enough alone.

silent*scream

always, although I as well hate the clicking sound.

impulse784

not when there isn't time to use it or when there's no need(offroading), but i try to use it everytime.

Bruja

Oh yeah! I am use to it

gene k

yes, always.more careful, the better.

Barb Outhere

How silly are you? If you don't use them because you don't see anyone, don't you realize its the ones that you don't see that you'll have an accident with? How the hell are they supposed to know what you intend to do - are they supposed to be psychic or something?

Tell me where you do your driving and I'll try to be somewhere else.

The Mr. Pine

I always have but I drive a truck for a living and its more important.

roaddogg62698

Yes I always use it because you never know how fast that car behind you is traveling.

Bo-Dean

I never use my signals...I don't want people to know what I'm going to do next!!!

Just joking...I use them almost all the time, especially in heavy traffic.

Anna

sometime not as offten as I should.

hokulei

Almost always. The clicking sound is pretty annoying. You don't wanna not use it and have some cop be hiding and ticket you.

PEACE

It just for like 10 seconds at the most so you should use it to be safe. you can be pulled over if you don't on the highway.

Amber and Parrish H

I'm like you,if it's just me, I usually don't turn them on. Plus my car is a beater and it gets stuck on and I have to manually turn them off!!

fl2nc2ca2md2nc

I always use them except for the following situations:

There is absolutely nobody around - what's the point?

I'm in a left turn only or right turn only lane or already on an exit ramp. And there's no oncoming traffic. Again, what's the point?

Brian

i only do when a lawman is around... dang lawmen!!

Jordan

no, not all the time. either i'm to lazy or just forget about it lol.
