Maybe 20-25 per cent. With drivers, the numbers are reversed: 75-80 per cent signal when they turn, stop at stop signs, etc.

I've also been a cyclist for 40 years and I ring my bell for everyone I pass, if I forget my bell "I call out on your left". Maybe your experience is just your experience and it sounds like you may have some ingrained bias. 75-80 of drivers follow the rules??? Go to the Mckenzie towne traffic circle, the amount of stupid that goes through it is incredible. Everyone sees what they want to see, you think a cyclist is an Ahole, you'll find a reason to call them one.
