Most other people seem to only signal at the exact instant they are completing their turn. In that case, what was the point in even putting on the flashy light?
If people would just think 2-3 cars ahead of them, most accidents wouldn't happen. But I think I'm asking too much of the average driver. |
OK, I believe in using my turn signals but for the last few years I was in Calgary using my signal for lane changing was only signaling those around to speed up or slow down so that the gap that was there was no longer. I'd be boxed in, manners and any semblance of the idea that we are in this together are gone and it's dog eat dog. Shame.
