Why do drivers not use their indicators?

Phantom Viper

It these sort of drivers (plenty of em round my area) that i fondly refer as those drivers that got thier licsense by sendin off 12 tokens from the back of kellogs corn flake packets lol...nah seriously alot of it is down to bad habits, when uve been driving for so long u become complacent and tend to take shortcuts in the drving method, its totally wrong i agree but thats what happens!!!! also shows a lack of respect for other road users

firedup

people are thoughtless, careless, inconsiderate, dumb.......

Burnbaby

Coz they're w***ers who think it's beyond them! Pathetic! Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently for some people, reaching up and flicking that little switch is much too difficult.

[sighs]

Drivers like that are such a pet peeve of mine.

Come to Texas and see most drivers here never use there signals. Merge here means not crushing the fender of the car in the lane next to you when the car unexpectedly comes across! There is a Joke, They just ran out of BLINKER FLUID.

Because most are idiots............

tacho

(i thought that when you brought a new car the indicators were extra)no seriously I'm a lgv driver and theses p**ts who do use them must have a brain the size of a pea its just as bad as theses idiots that come to a jct on a motorway and "oh ****" they got to come off and cut in front of us

because theyve got more money than consideration for other people. notice its all the 4x4s and rich peoples cars that are always involved in that level of ignorance to other road users

Rob

Because most drivers think that everyone is tuned into them mentally and automatically know when they are about to turn, either that or they think they are the only ones on the road!!

I'll use indicators if I feel like it otherwise I don't care what you think, just like you are always driving above the speed limit and you don't care what I think.

Mr. X.

I agree with firedup, she's got it dead right.
Yes, not indicating will affect an insurance claim.

I have come to the conclusion that turn signals and speedometers are "EXTRAS" on a lot on makes and models of cars and trucks and a lot of people don't order them.

I heard indicators were optional extras on BMW's
The insurance company won't be happy if the driver's failure to indicate was a partial cause of a crash, but they will still have to pay out, as they would if you were caught drink driving and crashed, they might decline to insure you in future though.

There are three instances where I never signal.

1. When no one is close enough to care what I'm doing.

2. When signaling a lane change will cause the anal orifice to speed up and close the gap

3 when I'm in a "right turn only" or "left turn only" lane. My intentions are pretty obvious, right?

c.j.davies

Because they think we know what they are going to do.

People driving have gotten way out of hand. They now use the slow lane as a passing lane, rolling stops are now common, speed limits huh.

livingstone

I think it is just one aspect of driving "without due care and attention ". I suppose it is down to selfishness really. The driver knows he/she is about to turn left,is it really necessary to let other drivers know ? Of course it is so annoying to be just behind that driver,and it can be downright dangerous.

I use my indicators evey where I go .
Even on bush tracks , where there is no cars .

because they are inconsiderate to other road users and got there liscence from legoland

It seems the bigger the car or the richer the driver thinks they are expect indicators to be completely automatic,or so it seems.My JAG XJ220 goes like stink with or without indicators,oops.

TERRY N

these drivers are known as gwig's Guess Were Im Going

I'm sure they are not being bloody-minded, jmostly just forgetful - it's happened to me on the odd, rare, occasion. Also I believe some drivers think it unnecessary in certain instances, for instance when they think their intention is obvious. And please, drivers, realise that pedestrians find your signals helpful as well.

No they won't, Indicators are there purely for that reason, to indicate which way you intend to go not the way you are definitely going. It is always up to other drivers to look at other signs like the speed and direction of the car. The reason being the indicator may have broken/bulb gone. Using that as an excuse/reason for a crash would not affect any insurance claim

laziness

ian l

Dont know but i hate it so much! I guess the easier cars get to drive, the less people remember they're sharing the road and may have to think about their driving!

katrina

i always indicate and i do notice that not alot of motorists signal nowadays, i hate it aswell

bungee

they are saving electricity

Dan G

sometimes there is no need, like if you have over taken something, why do i need to indicate back in, when it obvious that i will be pulling back in!
