[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use my turn signal, but most people don't know how to properly use it. They think turning it on is a request for others to let you in.

But rather, it's an indicator. You should FIRST look for a window of opportunity to switch lanes. Then after you've found a spot, you turn it on to indicate you will be moving imminently. Or turning right/left, obviously. Your turn signal shouldn't generally be on for more than a few seconds.

Not necessarily. If there is bumper to bumper traffic and I see someone turn their signal on trying to come into my lane, I assume they are nearing their exit and I let them in. No big deal. [/quote]

I also will let you in (blue Prius, MD tags). A turn indicator is an excellent way to let people know that you would like to change lanes when traffic is dense and there are no safe openings. Of course, some people will ignore you, some people will actively block you out but some people will let you in. [/quote]
