Dose it bug anyone else when people don't use their blinker?

is it really that hard to just flip your hand over to the side a little and turn your blinker. It is so rude, it's just one of those simple things that really bug me,

Yes, It bothers me too! There are five keys to safe driving and they are : ALL GOOD KIDS LOVE MILK
A- Aim high in Steering
G- Get the Big Picture of the road in front and back
K-Keep your eyes moving to scan the road way
L- Leave yourself an out dont get hemmed in
M-Make sure they see you--use your blinkers, lights horn and anything else you have so that they see you. Unfortunately most people do not think and have never been taught the five keys to safe driving. It is unfortunate but true and the law enforcers will never stop a guy for failure to use turn signals. The only thing we can do is make sure that we use the blinkers and help to teach others to do the same. Hope this helps. Be safe! :)

Then they might have to hang up the cell phone or put down the coffee from Starbucks!!
I hate the way people just change lanes without signaling or even looking. You never know when someone is going to change lanes into the side of your car.

Bugs the crap out of me, too. It is a law in my state to actually use them when changing lanes. I would like to see some of those signs posted a little more often on the highway, not just at the borders. I'm pretty fair about it, if I see someone do it once, maybe they forgot. Do that several times a minute and you are a "ninja driver", and my road courtesy for you is gone. If you are that blatant about disregarding your personal safety, that is fine. When you involve me, I take that personally. I frequently speed, so I'm not exactly in a position to point fingers, but I am fully aware that in my state, driving is a privilege, not a right. Plus having a drivers license only demonstrates that you have met the MINIMUM requirements for operating a motor vehicle. I seriously think that many people do not improve with experience. In real life, you can not hit the "Load Saved Game?" button and restart. There should be a "3 strikes law" for bad drivers. That's just too bad if you are inconvenienced by not being able to drive. If you were to injure someone because of your negligent / reckless / irresponsible driving style, you should not be allowed to continue to be a threat to otherwise prudent folk.

Yes, yes, yes, I hate it. I also hate when they slam on their brakes and then turn on their blinker and when they dont get all the way over into the turn lane so now they are blocking both lanes.

Drive me nuts too, a little courtesy to those of us around you, that's all I ask. And with that being said, my left blinker has been out for almost a month now and I know I am pissing people off. I gotta get that fixed. At least the back one works just the people in coming towards me are clueless.


bluewolf21
it annoys me soo much....its there for a reason..use it...lol People need to use it especially when they make a quick turn...its like hello let me know you are turning.

yes. definately. it seems now that people use their signal to let you know that they have arrived in your lane


pennylane
Yes it does because if your waiting toget out of a street the other car comming down the stree should let you know if they are turning or not so you can proceed.


Collin R
Yes, and I will admit I am guilty of it too...

That drives me craaazy too. It's also breaking the law, and if only the cops would pull them over...

Yes! A bronco was on I-5 today and kept zig-zagging through traffic without using his blinker! irratated me!

YES IT DOES BUG ME TOO. You are 100 % right about it being annoying not to mention the saftey hazards it could cause. Is it laziness or are people afraid of giving up information about themselves? RUDE RUDE RUDE that's what it is. I wish more people were conscientious about safe driving habits.....starting with using their signals. (For those who drive with them flashing for 3 miles...that's another story)


amosunknown
This and tail gating are what make me fly off my rocker. There are few things in life that piss me off more. I think people who WALK like the DRIVE is even more annoying. They walk real close and push you along without touching you, and scoot around you when there isnt enough room, or go wicked slow in front of you and take up all the space around them... AHHHHHH!!!

but yes, blinkers, and the lack there of, piss me off royaly.

I love the people that think the only way they are going to get in your lane is by cutting you off.

If they would just put on their turn signal I would be happy to create enough space for them to get in.

IT BUGS ME TOO.

YES! And people who slam on their brakes and THEN turn on their blinker.

Yes, and it also bugs me when people have their blinker on in an intersection and then don't turn (left), which is dangerous if you are going the opposite direction and turning (left)


Crazy-N-Luv
OMG!! That and cutting you off at warp speed then going S-L-O-W!!! How about people that do 65 in the fast lane? Or blow red lights and stop signs & almost kill you? UGG!!

Yes it does… I hate it when they don’t use the blinkers or even worst, when they do but forget to turn them off; I wish I was a traffic police officer in one of the 3rd world countries, where you can receive money to avoid a ticket (I would be a millionaire !!)


calivane07
It's annoying as hell, because you see them slowing down for a turn, but you have no idea it's for a turn and get pissed off. Then finally, they turn. Asshats.


klaus
Do you honk at people that don't turn their blinker on? I do -- EVERYTIME!
