Why don't people use their turn signal while driving

[yen1207]

I know a lot of people didn't signal before they change lane.

It drives me nuts.

once in awhile im that driver usually thou when ppl dont make up there mind and i have to turn quickly.

I get so frustrated while driving and it is so dangerous I just don't understand why people don't use the. Don't people understand that the turn signal is not for their benefit it's for the people driving around them. Of course you know what you are doing or where you are going but we don't. It is worse when people switch lanes in front of people out of nowhere especially on the freeway. What happens when you cause an accident will you get mad at the other driver when it was your fault. Just curious if your someone who does that what's your logic behind it. It's just a slight move of your hand to be respectful and mindful to the other drivers around you.

I sometimes forget to turn mine on because I starting talking to my passenger or have something on my mind and I also forget to turn blinker off sometimes too. I think apart of it is when you start getting older your mind goes.

I don't know, but it drives me CRAZY. I know my dad doesn't always use his, and then he gets mad if people don't let him over.

HELLO.

I am not a driver but I understand you very well. I am soon to become a driver so I am watching every thing that drivers do because I am learning the laws of the road. I have noticed something else, they do not use their horns either and they do not give the right of way to pedestrians when they turn on green. I can't even imagine how frustrated you must feel as a driver. I have decided that there is no way I will drive without drivers education and defensive drivers education no way!

That is my biggest peeve, not only is it dangerous but very annoying.

People don't do stuff because they're usually selfish noobs who only care about themselves.  I had a guy who was tailgating me once and I turned in my apartment complex, he didn't see and slammed on the breaks.  The guy behind him was tailgating him and smashed into the guy tailgating me.  Then, the guy tailgating me tried to say it was my fault when he explained it to the cops.  haha.  Course he lost that arguement, and he had a big fat broken nose from smashing his face into the wheel.  Probably still tailgating people to this day.  I'm sure he didn't learn his lesson.

Some people think that if you are in a turning lane you don't need to turn on your signal light. Even with that being said those arrows on the road goes two ways, straight and to the left or right. So for those that think they don't need to use the turn signals need not complain when they get hit.

I don't know how many times I've said; "I love your blinker".  That and people riding on my rear end. I'm tempted to put on my brakes sometimes.

[elysee24]

I ask myself that question pretty much every time I am on the road and few times I almost had an accident due to those people!!

[timvolley]

i agree that is it frustrating especially if you are trying to make a left hand turn at a busy intersection and dont know if the oncoming traffic is turning or going straight.

[mrisha]

Because they expect you to KNOW that they are going to turn and really don't care if they hold up traffic.  People are inconsiderate and rude.  Don't  you just love those who put their turning directional on at the light and there is no turning lane-so you are held up and possibly missed going thru and have to weight for the next light.

If I'm the only car on the road then I don't use my signals. If there's not another vehicle near me, then I don't use my signals. Otherwise, I do use them. I mostly drive when it's dark and the roads are usually fairly empty, so I don't use my signals very often.
