being from out of state, not using a turn signal was one of the first of many things i noticed about NY drivers. on the highway, pulling over to double park and especially when waiting to make a turn at an intersection and cars are turning onto the street you're on. what is so difficult about pushing that little appendage to the steering column and showing a little courtesy to others? that being said, to those drivers here who do use their signals....thank you!
it is to hard to text and use the turn signals at the same time.
I just don't get the logic of texting while driving, period.
It's like they're saying: "I'm going 80MPH in a motorized vehicle that I'm controlling on a road that I'm sharing with other motorized vehicles going as fast if not faster. I clearly need something else to do with my eyes and my hands..."

I find that most people do signal while they are driving. I also learned that, even though I always signal, for awhile I actually wasn't signaling because my light was out. From my experience, people are less likely to signal when they are changing lanes (usually the person who is in a rush and is just playing F-r-o-g-g-e-r on the highway.) Apparently, CD blocks that word.
Once I drove through Connecticut with my parents and I was surprised to see that almost no one used signals to change lanes.
Signaling for changing lanes is a considerate nicety. I can forgive those who do not expecially if there is sparse highway traffic.
But making a left or right turn in New York City without signaling should be treated ALWAYS as a major moving violation. And cops should drop their donuts and DEAL with the rampant problem.
