Use your turn signal

I don't believe it. If they don't drive 90 in the left lane they don't come from MA.

90 is for the motor home towing a boat in the middle lane........

Signaling goes for bicycles as well. When we take off on a bike ride and we need to use the roads in town to get to the trail, I use hand signals.
I'll actually stop at an intersection and signal my intentions before continuing on.

I'm sorry, I'm out of blinker fluid

Being from PA I liked the PSA. Our state troopers are very professional, and they are obviously good at teaching the obvious.

Here in New Zealand the rule is 3 seconds signalling before pulling out from the curb, turning or changing lanes.

Modern cars have indicators which flash twice a second so 6 flashes should be the minimum. And yet the number of cars I see who signal only once or twice, or better yet flash once half way through a lane change, you wouldn't believe.

As for turning the head to check the blind spot before changing lanes, ain't that what the side mirror is for? Ah no!!!

And what about staying within a lane? Oh that's right, anywhere from the curb side wheel over the fog line at the side of the road and the drivers side wheel over the centreline is just fine by most.

I have driven all over the country and I think MI drivers are the worst for not using that mysterious lever on the steering column plus they do not look at surrounding drivers when merging into traffic.

It seems there are several levers, buttons and other such devices that drivers do not know what they are for. Possible uses are: turn signals, both left and right, light dimmer switch, even to turn headlights on or off........

Have seen all of the above drivers everywhere I have driven over the years. No one place seemed to have a monopoly on bad drivers,stupid seems to be universal!

I've driven in 49 of the 50 states and in a number of foreign countries. No place has worse compliance with turn signal use than Florida. We get the worst drivers from the eastern USA who use their turn signal the entire way in the left lane of the highway driving from Miami to Maine.

I have 50 years on clock and counting in Sunshine State I dont find the find the left in left lane as I find them not used at all. 38 years on motorcycles plus in this state has me at higher awarness

Interesting. In Nevada, just about everyone uses their turn signal, they just haven't figured out how to turn it off.

Also, just because they do use their turn signal, does not give them the right of way. They need to look first before changing lanes to make sure that another vehicle is not occupying that space.

There's that too. Love the idiots who see the spot in front of you big enough for a Civic and they think they need to whip their huge Dodge Ram in to it, signal or not.
