How about when it's late at night or early in the morning and there are no other cars in sight?

Is it against the law to not use a turn signal?

Yes.
For the same reason you ALWAYS use a turn signal.
There may be someone that you don't see that doesn't know you're turning. (Imagine a tourist not knowing you are in a left hand turn lane and thinking you are going where you say you are).

Yes I use the turn signal. One of the things police lookfor late night or very early morning are people that arent using turn signals, because it is one of the signs of Drunk Driving. And yes its also illegal. Thus the cause for stopping and checking to see if the driver is drunk. So, if you're sober your just risking a ticket, and if you're drunk you're screwed.

YES. Sometimes oncoming traffic cannot tell you are in a turn only lane. Also many intersections have cameras that are watching you! And why get into the habit of not using it?

The law states, all turns must signal.Just think you have some phat pig Nazi cop hiding in your trunk waiting to bust you.Then you'll remember to use your signal.Probable cause was 300 lame arssed excuses to search your vehicle.Now with the New Nazi Bush administration,its 700 B.S. excuses.

Lets put it this way like why do we need to switch on our headlights at night even when there are no cars in sight?
All lightings r not mean for the driver. Its meant to alert all other motorists of ur presence.

Yes. I use my turn signals as much as I possibly can to compensate for the Drivers who do not use them.

if i'm waiting for red light, i'll turn it off. but as it turns green, i turn it on again when i drive foward. i still use the signal when no one is around. it's a habit, plus sometimes you don't see everyone.

Yeah. If for no other reason than there might be a cop hiding nearby waiting to fill his or her quota for the night. I use them as a matter of habit. Can't get busted that way. ;)
