And tell us why. This is related to all autos not just Mustangs.

 

All the time when other cars are around. Unlike a lot of people who seem oblivious that there are other people in the world. Tiny stuff like that drives me just as nuts as someone who keys a pretty car. Its all the same mentality regardless of how 'big' an offense. How f'n hard is it to move the lever. Besides I have sequentials so you got to flaunt em People that oblivious deserve to get hamburgered by a semi.

 

I always signal even when theres no one around for miles. Just habit.

 

Everyone should signal all the time. Signals are a means of communications with other drivers that indicates your intentions. What gets me are those drivers that turn without signalling or only turn their signal light on like a blip on a radar screen. The signal light is supposed to be on for three seconds before the turn is made and a few seconds after the turn has been made. Unfortunately in Edmonton, Alberta drivers seemed to have to much time on their hands for signalling such as reading the newspaper when driving, using the cell phone while driving, shaving, putting on make up while driving etc. My view of these drivers is that it is too much of an effort for them to move their left hand over to the signal indicator but yet they do have lots of effort for the other things I have mentioned. Whatever happened to paying attention to driving and the road?

 

IF YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE THE TURN SIGNALS, THEN WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO DRIVE THE CAR???

Obviously, I use mine. 99% of the time when there's another car around.

 

I always use mine. Once in a while I don't when when merging cause I gotta check my shoulder and shift, but that's pretty rare.

 

Same here...

 

Also just because there may be no cars around or people you can't see Don't think that all those flying bugs on their was home for supper don't appreciate it a lot !
Yes Always do use them.

 

There were an option on some cars, I see vehicles all the time who chose not to use them, why did you buy them then? LOL

 

If I dont use it...its an accident.....I always yell at bums who dont use them. I have moderate to severe road-rage.

 

+1

 

I use mine all the time.
Road with a guy who didn't, asked him why...." oh they can see me moving over so why use them"

 

I use them most of the time but don't wait the 2-3 seconds before changing lanes...the reason for this is that on freeways (at least where I'm at) if you wait then someone behind you whips in & gets the space before you get there. I make sure I have enough space, use the signal & immediately move over--by the time the signal flashes I'm already moving before someone can come in & take the spot. Yes, it may be a little agressive but it gets me in the lane I need to be in with no problems & I got tired of signaling & getting cut off.

 

Courtesy, respect, being thoughtful to others, excellence of manners, good social conduct, polite behavior and it's the law!

I don't think we will get any truthfull responses from the none users.

 

Why would you not use your turn signals?

 

In florida here it seems no one uses them and it makes me crazy. I always use them but i can't even tell you how may times i get some local idiot that just pulls into my lanes with no turn signal on just oblivous that I'm here.
Infuriating actually

 

I do when someone is behind me or infront of me. but if no one is around whats the point? who are you gonna tell that your turning? kinda pointless...but other than that, people deff know when im turning

 

I use mine all the time. It's become a habit so I do it whether anyone else is around me or not. It's pretty much automatic now.

 

ALWAYS! I don't believe people should have to guess what I am up to. Likewise, I'm no mind reader and I would hope everyone else is on board. It is so frustrating when people simply tool around on their own happy voyage and have no regard for the rest of us. Yesterday a lady on a cell phone ran a stop sign and turned right in front of me. I had the fogs on and it was daytime. She pulled about 2 cars in front of me and I was doing 35 in a 35. Of course I saw her coming and slowed down in time. It took her about 2 miles to get to 35. I followed her at 20 MPH for two miles. She broke the center line three times and from what I could tell she was on the phone, eating a burger and drinking something with a straw. She finally made a U-turn in the middle of a four way with no signal!

P.S. I'm the bad guy because I have vinyl stripes!

 

I'm a nerd about signaling and lane change procedures.

for example when turning left on a green arrow into a street with mulitple lanes. I always turn into the nearest lane and use proper lane changing to the right if i need to be in the right hand lane.
