You don't develope a lot of good driving habits like being aware of other traffic and pedestrians in the middle of a 400 acre field of alfalfa.

Maybe down there for sure, but northern Utah (Salt Lake area) isn't rural and they have the same problem up there and I am sure alot of haven't lived there back in the day when it was rural. Maybe they learned from their grandparents how to drive who knows.

The problem is the dry air tends to evaporate the blinker fluid.

yes; in fact, it has been proven that running out of blinker fluid somehow affects the motor (intended) skills of the driver--maybe fumes or something. they become erratic, clumsy, and inept. there is even a percentage of the population that becomes foul-mouthed, mean-tempered, and unable to think clearly. scientists are attempting to isolate the genes that produce such dramatic responses to a lack of blinker fluid, but so far, they haven't been too successful in the venture yet.

aaron out.

1) Your tastebuds must be surgically removed because you won't need them

No chickrae, not seriously. It's a running joke around here, that people who don't signal aren't bad drivers, they just ran out of blinker fluid.

There's no such thing as blinker fluid. Too bad, because it would be a handy excuse for my husband!

My husband doesn't use his and he hardly ever did back home. He fits right in with these idiots. Is there a law here for headlights being on when raining??? Yesterday when we had the storm I hardly saw any headlights..ugh...this place is messed up in so many ways.

Off topic...You got rain? Huh...I never saw a drop. Why is it that I always get the blasted lake effect snow in the winter, but in the summer my beloved storms stop at the mountain. UGH!
