Default Turn Signals

Hello everyone.

Does anyone notice that people just don't use turn signals anymore? It's getting to the point that I get so angry on the road - using my horn on these idiots - that driving my s2000 around town sometimes stresses me out more than anything.

I know I should probably just take it easy and let it go, but when some idiot almost sideswipes me when he/she changes lanes without a turnsignal while on a cell phone, it just makes me hit the damn roof.

Anyone else notice this? Get really pissed when it happens?

Thanks - just need to vent a little!

I think then signal package now costs extra on most vehicles. Which is why they are not used any more.




sarcasm but I agree it drives me nuts!!!!!!

Can't hit the roof if the top is down

Drivers these days are along for the ride mostly... as they text and facebook their way down the road.

Where I live, there are only three types of drivers:
1. People who know that telegraphing your intentions ahead of time is a weakness.
2. People who seriously can't operate anything beyond the wheels and the pedals (and those alone are difficult enough for them).
3. The hapless folks with out-of-state plates, who probably think we're the rudest $&@*s they've ever seen.

They are already driving with their knees and you expect them to use a turn signal too?! lol I wonder what would happen if they had a manual transmission on top of that. I am impressed that one can text with one hand, put on eye liner with the other and still manage to take a sip of their Starbucks however.
