Don't cars come equipped with turn signals anymore?

Huh, I always thought it was the law to use a turn signal when you turn on or off a roadway or change lanes.

Even if you have your phone glued to your ear.
Even if you're in a turn lane.
Even if you're busy talking to the passenger.
Even if there isn't anyone else on the road.

I guess they don't put them in cars anymore, because I rarely see them used.

I think cars should only be given to smart, intelligent people. I also think you should have to take an IQ test before you're given the right to drive...or to have children for that matter...but that's another issue.

If you're IQ is under 100, you're takin the bus!! LOL! It's that simple. There's a nice slogan for a car company.

I honestly think that people who don't use their turn signals believe that when they trade their car in they will get more money if they tell them the turn signal has never been used. !!!!!

Those laws only apply to the people named plus a few more like

those watching the TV screen in their dashboard
putting eye makeup on as they drive
turning around in the driver's seat to check the kids
most under the age of 20 and over the age of 70
and the ones who take up two lanes of traffic.

They all think we are psychic and know when they are going to make a turn. It is really a case of bad road manners.

I get so annoyed with people that don't use turn signals. I always beep my horn at people for not using them and then they give me a look like what did I do??

LOL! You must be living in North Carolina. I just moved to NC from NY and I find that NOBODY uses them but me. It drives me nuts. As far as I know, we are not psychic. Turn signals were designed for a reason. Lets use them. I am so glad that I am not the only one out there that notices this problem.


Mike S
Haven't you heard, the National Safety Council has decided there was no use for them anymore. I mean geeze they haven't put brakes on French cars in decades. Over there they use the bumper of the car infront of them to stop.

YOUR RIGHT BUT YOU NEED TO READ THE FINE PRINT ON THE NEW VEHICLE FORM BECAUSE YOU CAN EITHER HAVE THE TURN SIGNALS OR THE CELL PHONE ADAPTER OPTION.


soaplakegirl
Don't you know, they are optional now. ;)

If you do not use your turn signal you should be charged with impropper lane change. There is such a law.
