Same here.

These kids complaining about the cops are so painfully naive.

I sometimes leave them on for miles because I love them so much!

But seriously, is there a way to make the clicking sound of your blinker louder? lol

As for around here, turn signals are probably used by about half the people who drive, and a good percent of those wait till they are in the turn to actually turn it on lol. Vast improvement over Italy though, I don't think that country has turn signals in cars.

LOL. Seems like half the population of Florida does the same (turn signals in general).

I'm not sure if there is something in the water in AZ or if your natives have been stung by one too many scorpions, but that isn't really the situation in the rest of the country.

Not here, someone using a turn signal is the exception, not the rule. There is hardly a day goes by when I don't see a cop not using a turn signal, let alone the general public. I was beginning to wonder if turn signals were now optional on new cars.

I don't know what state you live in, but I've driven in most states in this country and have never seen any more than a couple people not using turn signals.

The exception being changing lanes on the highway.

So far in Socal and AZ any intersection you look at you could find at least 5 cars not using their turn signals. And yes last night I did see two cops not use their turn signals. Not saying it's that way everywhere but certainly seems that way out west.

I use my signal 100% and you're not coming in my lane if you don't use it. If you use your signal I have no problem letting you in. Most Californians believe of they see a signal, it means speed up and don't let them in. The only time I won't let you in front is if you're coming from behind me.

When driving the Boss, I expect to be pulled over. If I'm not, then I'm not driving it properly.











But in all seriousness, I had the Boss for 7 days before I pulled over for 83 in a 60. My buddy Rich and I were going well over 90 just moments before I was tagged and only I got busted somehow. The cop let me slip, saying I was lucky it was veterns day and we were both military.

+1, I try not to let them in too, also I cant stand drivers who want to get in front of me when there's noone behind me

Seems in Central Florida, using a turn signal to change lanes means they are warning you that they are coming over; not to ask for permission.

I always figured it was due to all the vacationers visiting all the wally word attractions here. Add to that their cell phones and GPS, and it's a blast driving around here!

Oh I completely agree trust me. Every single time I change lanes I definitely use my signal. I HATE when people change lanes without signaling and basically cut you off. The only I forgot to signal was when Im already in the turning lane. A lot of people think that because they put their signal on they immediately have the right of way to come over on you. I too hate people that have to hurry and speed up to get in front of you when there is no one in back of you and then their not even turning anytime soon. That is irritating.
