that bothers me almost as much as those who try to scoot around you at a stop light to jump back in front ( rarely do i lose those "races" when the light hits green ).
And no i'm not being childish--they started it
Especially when you're driving on a two lane one way road, you're on the left and two cars are on the right. You're about a 1/4 mile away, plenty of room for the guy in the second car to switch lanes and pass the car in front of him. TheN as you approach the second car, almost at a car and a half length he decides to switch lanes without putting on the blinkers.
Or better yet, the car to your left decides to cut you off without putting on the blinkers then decides to get off the next exit. Mind you, there was no car behind me so he could have slowed down a little, get behind me and then get off.
Don't I wish I had a .50 caliber machine gun on my car.
I only get mad when they don't signal and then cut me off or if they decide to put their left blinker on at the last second and I get trapped behind them. I don't understand why people are so slow and stupid that they can't check all of their mirrors every 15-30 seconds or look around just to get an idea of the traffic situation around them. I must say... women are the worst cuplrit of that un-awareness.
This infuriates me to a level that I just feel like ramming them off the road. Anyone?
Not so much for lane changes....what really ticks me off though is if you are sitting at an intersection and trying to turn left and the car facing you doesn't have their turn signal on. You wait for them to proceed through the intersection so you can turn but nope...they turn across your path instead and ********* over because now there is traffic and you can't make your turn.
Now in these situations...I turn off my blinker and start to pull out straight then make my turn. For a split second they get to think they are about to get t-boned and perhaps will reflect upon why it's nice to correctly signal at an intersection.

Cat, Cat, Cat .....
First, you have to understand why some of us refuse to use our signals. you know me - I'm a native Californian. Have pretty much ALWAYS used my turn signals. Didn't have any reason not to.
Then, I moved to Texas - home of the rudest drivers I've ever seen anywhere in the world - and I've traveled extensively. I had California plates on my car while in Texas (I wasn't there that long). In Texas, if you are a Californian and you signal your intent to change lanes or exit the freeway, they speed up and will not let you make your lane change. Texas is where I learned NOT to use my turn signals. You NEVER want to tip off the enemy to your next move.
Now that I'm back in California, the use of my turn signals has been restored.
It's all about conservation and Global Warming! Those little blinky lights cost money...why use them when we can conserve?
ShelbyGirl1, don't forget; if you forget to turn OFF your blinker, you might run out of blinker fluid...
BOT: Yep, ya mean like the stunt driver I encountered this morning??? A Budget rental truck pulling a car trailer passed me and I blinked my lights when he'd safely cleared me. He signaled, came over then blinked his lights "thanks". No sooner than all this took place, a Chevy Aveo cuts between us (no signal), stomps on his brakes, then exits at the next off-ramp.
