When did using turn signals become an option rather than a regulation?

I drive quite a bit for work and am sick to death of people not following the rules of the road and this particular on really gets to me. Does it get to you too?

UCANTCME - I love your answer! I didn't realize there had actually been a poll at sometime! Too funny!

Didn't you know they're just for looks?


These were the reasons given........

42 percent said they don't have time.
23 percent said they are too lazy.
17 percent said they don't because they forget to turn it off.
12 percent said they change lanes to frequently to bother.
11 percent said it's not important.
8 percent said they don't because others don't.
7 percent said not doing it adds to excitement

Yeah. I hate when people don't use their blinkers. Almost no one in New Mexico uses them, or they leave them on permanently, or they use their blinker to go the oppisite direction. The only problem is when you do use your blinker here, you better change lanes quickly or people will speed up just so you can't get over. We have the worst drivers here and every one that I have met from out of state agrees.

yh i find this very annoying its either no signals or permanent signaling 4 half amile til they realise they left it on i dont no which ones more annoying i think if the police catch them they should make them do there test again and if they get caught again if they r lucky enough 2 pass they should b banned 4 life

Because they can not figure out which way to push lever for right and left. It is very hard to figure out.

While many people have to learn the rules of the road to get & keep a driver license, it is taught in the schools that the only reason to learn something is to pass the test. Once you passed the test & got your driver license you may forget everything.

Many people today learn the rules of the road by the consensus, or peer pressure of seeing what other people do, and get away with.
