Why do so many drivers not use their signal light?

I think it mostly has to do with distraction.

I haven't had a driving test since 1992, but even I know the basic rules of signalling. It drives me insane!

But with the onslaught of cell-phones, loud stereos, and the like, people are less attuned to safety, and more attentive to their obnoxious toys.

1. HANG UP AND DRIVE! Or, at least, PULL OVER!

2. Turn down the radio! How the heck can you hear an emergency vehicle?

3. Restrain your damn kids. I swear, all of these obnoxious little twerps that people let bounce around in their car drives me insane! Do you know what a three year olds head looks like once it has been through a windshield???

With those few things taken into consideration, you just MIGHT remember to signal!

Thanks for letting me rant! Thumbs up!

lazy

One hand on the wheel and one on the cell phone, none left to signal. And why are they always in the fast lane?

They probably are on there cell phones. Signaling is a good habit which I wish nobody forgot. Most people that don't signal don't give a crap about anyone else except themselves.

Laziness...or the fact it only takes a few seconds to move in the next lane. Or even them not noticing someone behind them and not seeing a reason.

Drivers in my city are notorious for not using their signals and disobeying the law. They are either too lazy or they believe it's their right to drive the way they want and don't care about others. Goodness help you if you're a pedestrian here, nobody stops for people wanting to cross the street, even at crosswalks!

BOOTS!

Tey want to get hit. If you hit someone from behind its your fault so..... i thnk that the people who dont use there signals are the ones who WANT to sue!

Lack of consideration for others...overall, that is what has become of our society...

In general, people are ruder & less respectful of others...it's really sad, but true.

You should never trust a turn signal but always wait to see what the person is really going to do. A lot of people are totally unaware of their own or others' personal safety, especially if distracted by a cellphone conversation while driving. I almost got hit by someone yesterday who had her turn signal on, but didn't turn. Your safety comes first. Don't try to second-guess someone else's intentions. Lack of enforcement, lack of personal awareness and lack of consideration for others are the reasons.

Iam!!

People have become lazy, which in turn has become habit. Even Law Enforcement is guilty.

Letsee

Followers take this as a signal to speed up so you cannot move over.

Because most people are *******, it's as simple as that.

Then you get the person who drives 3 miles with their signal on.

Didn't you know that their vehiles were not equipped with the signal? I just assume they don't have any, why else wouldn't they use them? It was not standard on thier car.

shoot.bang

Because they need blinker fluid.
