dose it bug anyone else when people don't use their blinker?

Question

is it really that hard to just flip your hand over to the side a little and turn your blinker. It is so rude, it's just one of those simple things that really bug me,

Answer 1

Yes, It bothers me too! There are five keys to safe driving and they are : ALL GOOD KIDS LOVE MILK
A- Aim high in Steering
G- Get the Big Picture of the road in front and back
K-Keep your eyes moving to scan the road way
L- Leave yourself an out dont get hemmed in
M-Make sure they see you--use your blinkers, lights horn and anything else you have so that they see you. Unfortunately most people do not think and have never been taught the five keys to safe driving. It is unfortunate but true and the law enforcers will never stop a guy for failure to use turn signals. The only thing we can do is make sure that we use the blinkers and help to teach others to do the same. Hope this helps. Be safe! :)

Answer 2

Bugs the crap out of me, too. It is a law in my state to actually use them when changing lanes. I would like to see some of those signs posted a little more often on the highway, not just at the borders. I'm pretty fair about it, if I see someone do it once, maybe they forgot. Do that several times a minute and you are a "ninja driver", and my road courtesy for you is gone. If you are that blatant about disregarding your personal safety, that is fine. When you involve me, I take that personally. I frequently speed, so I'm not exactly in a position to point fingers, but I am fully aware that in my state, driving is a privilege, not a right. Plus having a drivers license only demonstrates that you have met the MINIMUM requirements for operating a motor vehicle. I seriously think that many people do not improve with experience. In real life, you can not hit the "Load Saved Game?" button and restart. There should be a "3 strikes law" for bad drivers. That's just too bad if you are inconvenienced by not being able to drive. If you were to injure someone because of your negligent / reckless / irresponsible driving style, you should not be allowed to continue to be a threat to otherwise prudent folk.

Answer 3

Drive me nuts too, a little courtesy to those of us around you, that's all I ask. And with that being said, my left blinker has been out for almost a month now and I know I am pissing people off. I gotta get that fixed. At least the back one works just the people in coming towards me are clueless.

Answer 4

Yes, that really bugs me. You don't know what they are doing and then all of the sudden they are turning. Another thing that bugs me is that when you are waiting to come out of a store and you think a car is going stringht because it doesn't have them on but it is not it is turning anyways.

Answer 5

It bugs me, and not just the use of their blinker.

I get ticked just about everyday when people turn without looking if someone else is coming (like in a parking lot), or when I get to my daughters daycare and there are three handicapped parking places up front, but who is parked in them... perfectly healthy parents who are in a huge hurry to get somewhere... I dont care how big of a hurry you are in, there are 15 other spots open, use one! Or when there is one entrance and one exit for getting into and out of the school... but those same parents insist going out the entrance, even though it stops traffic turning in.

Dont get me started...
and yes, I do practice what I preach. I use my tunr signals, I stop at every turn on the road and in a parking lot to look.... I am a very polite and cautious driver.

Answer 6

Yes, but it's nowhere near as bad as the tractor who pulls out in front of you when you're doing 55 and goes 1/2 mile and turns left. Especially when there's nobody else around.

Answer 7

I presume you are talking about the signals on a vehicle. Not everybody would necessarily use the word 'blinker'. For example in the UK we say 'indicator' and in Canada, 'signals'

Answer 8

Yes, and it also bugs me when people have their blinker on in an intersection and then don't turn (left), which is dangerous if you are going the opposite direction and turning (left)

Answer 9

Yes it does… I hate it when they don’t use the blinkers or even worst, when they do but forget to turn them off; I wish I was a traffic police officer in one of the 3rd world countries, where you can receive money to avoid a ticket (I would be a millionaire !!)

Answer 10

YES especially when i am in the car with the person!! my mother is like that on the highway she will ***** for 1/4 mile that the person wont let her merge to another lane - but she wont put her blinker on to let them know she wants to merge!!
