Does anybody use their blinker anymore?
 
I hate people. THEY don't signal a lane change, and then you're the asshole because you honked your horn at them.

Too bad you couldn't get away with this:D

The thing that made me pull back and see things differently was a very simple two page ad. It was an aerial view of a typical american cloverleaf intersection.

It had a small caption above every car "This person -". Some of them were as follows:
Just woke up.
Just broke up with their sig other.
Just robbed a bank.
Woke up late.
Is late for a funeral.
Blah, blah, so on and so forth.

You have to pull back sometimes and realize that everyone is living in their own little world, oblivious to you and their surroundings.

Yes, you understand that your turn signal is one of your only forms of communicating with others on the road.

Yes, you understand that you are supposed to use your signals by law.

You just have to let the asshats continue on with their respective asshattery and don't let them crash into you or ruin your day/driving.

I hate when people don't use their blinkers. I may weave in and out of traffic alot but I always use my blinker....another thing I hate is slow people in the fast lane.

Agreed. There's really no reason for not using your blinker. It literally takes moving your finger 3 inches

in soviet russia, car drives you! sorry, watched that episode of Family Guy the other night. I get to deal with all these morons and more every day at work (deliver pizzas)and it's HORRIBLE! i really do wish i drove a big ass lifted 4x4 so that if they decided to come into my lane, i wouldn't have to move over, just let em hit me

I am originally from the East coast/ PA. I'll trade good drivers for the awesome weather and friendly people.

People are just lazy, that's why they don't use them. Last week i was driving back home and saw a car coming on the opposite lane. Just when we are about to pass eachother the other driver decides to make a quick left turn. So i had to slam the brakes and almost t-boned the car.

Ummmm I'm from Philly. Texas definitely doesn't have awesome weather and you can find friendly people anywhere. I'd much rather be in Philly.

What the hell is a blinker? Sounds like a waste of weight/feature. :rolleyes:

In all honesty, I have the same issue. I don't mind someone cutting me off as long as they use a blinker. But it's when they don't use it and cut me off that really grinds my gears.
