driving poll: do you use your turn signals?

[slat1]

All the time!

 

[Delinquent]

I only use them if there is a car behind me, waiting in the street that I'm turning onto, and if there is a car that is somewhat close in the lane that I am switching to. Never saw a reason to use them if there weren't any cars around. I also don't follow the no turn on red signs or no left/right turn signs. If the road is busy, I'll find another route. If there isn't a car around, I'm gonna do it.

Big pet peeve of mine...people not using them.

or not using them correctly
you signal your intent to turn to inform the driver behind you you will be braking
and half the peeps brake,sometimes coming to an almost complete stop and then use the turn signal
thanks buddy

only in the presence of the 5.0

I use them all the time. But they are never indicative of what I actually intend to do. They act as more of a fake out to other drivers.

I prefer not to telegraph my moves.

"Hey, buddy -- nice car. How much did they take off the price when you told them you didn't need TURN SIGNALS?"

Sheesh.

when traveling on the interstate
seldom
in moderate or light traffic
it's unnessacary
I typically travel 20mph above the traffic flow
and anybody that's driven a high performance sports cars know the drill

For me, the drill is to blow a shitload of diesel smoke on them and then call the highway patrol because someone is driving excessively over the speed limit.
