Turn indicators are not a sign of weekness..

The thank you wave is especially awesome right before they get t-boned because you waved them into flowing traffic.

I have to admit, the one scenario where I'm a timid driver is when it's two lane traffic, you're looking to turn left, someone stops to give you a gap, but I'm always scared as [expletive] about the other lane of traffic.

This is a good rant, but needs to be appended to include the "I turn my signal on right as I start my turn" guy.

Because as I sit waiting to turn left, with my blinker on, I saw you slowing down approaching the same intersection. Yet you did not turn on your right blinker, so I had to assume you were going straight and that I needed to wait. Thankfully, as soon as you started your turn, you threw your signal on. Because hey, at that point I couldn't just see you turning.

The signal is to let me know that you will be turning, not that you are turning. You are in fact dumber than no turn signal at all guy.

Just saw an accident a couple of weeks ago because of this exact scenario. Person turning left onto Gravois from a service station. Right lane guy stops to let him out, left lane guy keeps going and nails him.

Happened to my sister. When someone lets me in at that situation, I give them the finger.

btw - i've always used turn signals because they are the law, but after reading this thread I think I will stop. I never realized how this irritated people, this is a pot of gold I haven't tapped yet. From now on, no signals. Also if you let me in (in a safe way, no thanks for letting me into a collision), no thank you wave either. I've never done that.

Other thing that irritates people is sauntering across the cross walk. You know how people run or even worse do the fake run where they pump their arms? Not me, I like to actually walk slower.

It's your funeral....

You don't have the guts to do it. Wart.

[go birds]

The best is not using your signal AND not slowing down when making a right turn onto a different street....throws EVERYONE off... Especially the person waiting to make a turn on the street you turn onto. If those tires aren't squeeling and you're not replacing hub caps, then you're not rounding that turn fast enough.

Also people, don't be afraid to use your horn especially when it's not necessary.

You are right, killing someone with my car because they are a slow ass mother [expletive] is not worth going to jail for...

[jim]

I'm not slow, just arrogant.
