those #s are just retarded. but im sure theyre true, how many times are u driving along behind someone and all of a sudden out of nowhere they whip a quick right turn, or on the thruway they’re weaving in and out without a signal. it’s NOT HARD, and u have to use it on your driving test, so how can u just forget about it? how can u not have enough time?? omg, i just want to kill stupid people. ---

HOw many people don’t signal because their other hand is on their cell phone? Its just retarded and rude not to. If mine don’t work I use hand signals. Those are some pretty dumb excuses. I was behind someone a few weeks ago who had their LEFT blinker on and turned RIGHT. :bloated: ---

I don’t signal when I don’t feel it is necessary. Like when I’m sitting in a left turn only lane. I also drive around with my high beams on 100% of the time. Because then I at least piss off as many other drivers as they piss me off. ---
