I’m confused. I don’t understand what you’re saying?

Not a dig, I drive fast too. But I don’t understand how the signal makes you lift. Explain?

I give you my honest take. I don't like to signal because it mentally checks my speed, and I like to zig and zag and maintain my speed.

If you think blinker fluid is expensive, try sourcing Lucas Replacement Wiring Harness Smoke.

Remember- if you ever think your own existence is pointless, remind yourself there’s some poor ****er in an Audi factory whose job is installing and testing turn signals.

I've always noticed the opposite. When I signal people hold back and let me switch lanes. I think it's common in an area like NoVA where people are used to traffic. People will also leave a space if you are trying to pull out onto a road or merge out of a parking lot. Drivers also use both lanes to a merge point and then alternate. I find the opposite is true in places like Ohio, where I'm from outside of a large city. You'll wait forever trying to switch lanes or get into a line to exit a parking lot. Nobody is willing to let you merge and they'll line up for a mile and leave an entire lane open to the merge point.

That works both ways.

Let me explain:

When I put my signal on to change lanes (which I always do, since using turn signals is almost a fetish with me) and check my mirror and I see you frantically accelerate from 5 car-lengths back to close the distance before I can move over, and then I swerve towards your lane - I already know I’m NOT going to hit you. But YOU don’t know that.

That adrenaline dumping panic in your chest from thinking I was about to crash into your side at 75 mph? Yeah- that’s just me - keeping you guessing.


See? Works both ways.

This is so cute. How many car lengths have gradually creeped in as you chest thumped your way throug telling this little story?

Keep flexing. One day you’ll figure it out.

I am not even talking about switching lanes on a highway, I am talking about not signaling before making left turns as I am driving in the opposite lame and similar, including at stop all way signs. I recently went to another city on the East coast the difference was significant. What fixes? It’s so unsafe!

1. Too important
2. Not paying attention
3. Still I'm too important

You seem weirdly triggered by this.

Are you the type of person who floors the gas pedal when someone 70-100 ft in front of you in some other lane puts on their blinker with the intent of coming into “your” lane?

If that’s you, you’re exactly the person I enjoy F’ing with like this. You’re the whole point I do it. And you can’t do **** about it. Which is even funnier, because that’s gotta be even more infuriating for such a control freak

Which is why it’s so entertaining to drift over to the side of your lane as if you’re coming into their lane as if you didn’t realize they’d sped up and blocked you from moving over. So they get a little jolt of panic, honk their horns, swear at you, then give you finger.

Of course you knew the whole time you what they’d done, and that you’re not actually going to merge into them. But they don’t know it. And that’s why it’s funny.

DC drivers: politically correct in speech, and on the road: soulless, mean, cowardly @55-h0les.

I once told our town mayor to let me ticket people $100 who don’t use their turn signal and that I’d split the money with the town. I told her I’d make a fortune and so would the town.

People around here are ass*holes. Yesterday I was on route 50 trying to get to my elderly dad to take him to the dr. Someone flipped their car and this women in a black Mercedes sped up and would not let me in. Then she hit her brakes. Total bit#h. I grew up here and the drivers are awful. And yes I had my signal on.
