More and more I see people using them AS they're turning, not beforehand to let me know their dumbass is making the attempt in the first place

Congrats, you've helped absolutely no one because you decided to turn as you put on your signals anyway

Don't even get me started on the cars with painted on signals like the Audis and BMWs

Only to have people who don't want me in front of them lean on the horn and speed up on me as soon as I attempt to change lanes.

Half-hearted attempts because they have to, not because they want to put it to actual use

I don't think they do anymore.

California requires a certain number of hours of driver's ed for teens but no one ever uses them.

Driver's ed wasn't a requirement at all for us and the test consisted of just driving in a 10 minute circle around a square. I'm pretty sure I could've not used signals and they still would have passed me >_>

I really hate when I'm sitting at a stop sign and could've went but didn't cause they didn't put the blinker on until right as the turned (Or often not at all)

I consider myself a puppet master to cars in other lanes lmao

All I have to do to make them move is flip on my blinkers

Most people don't seem to use them. Because most people are assholes. It's always been like that around here.

When I got my license in 1998, the day after I turned 16. (CA here) I already had my permit since I was 15 and 2 months which I got from a summer school high school driver's ed class. All I had to do beyond the written and driving test was have 4 hours of driving lessons. And all that was was driving on the freeway down to Palm Springs and turning back. The DMV test was driving in a circle around a few blocks.

My youngest brother is still trying to get his license right now. What CA requires now to get a license is insane. I'm surprised anyone under 18 gets one now. Plus a ton of questions from the guide book he showed us is about bike lanes and electric cars and such, all of which didn't exist when we all got our licenses. We couldn't answer most of them when we practiced it. Thank god I grew up when I did and thank god I haven't had to take another DMV test in all these years. Just renewal fee and get another 8 years.

Consider your turn signal not as an indication for moving in front of them, but as a way to tell them to hurry up and get ahead, so you can go behind them.

the problem with that is that many will pull the bullshit move of speeding up so they're sitting in your fucking blind spot! they're not trying to get past you before you're changing lanes, they're just actively blocking.

A lot of people don't ever use turn signals to begin with. At least if they're using them as they're turning, it might be a sudden realization that they forgot to (although still dumb af)

But it is useless at that point. I know you are turning. You already are almost at a dead stop. What else are you going to be doing?

I realize these awful drivers infuriate you all, but could you guys do me a favor and not ship literally every bad driver in America to south Florida this winter? I really don't like driving with my head on a swivel like I'm in the fucking jungles of 'Nam just trying not to die every day.

That'd be great, thanks.

They don't teach people how to drive at all these days and it is annoying as shit. Try driving in Maryland, people forgot how to use turn signals here like ten years ago at least.

I grew up in the northeast and remember this pain.

I can't even exist in weather below 50 now since living here, and I know I've forgotten how to drive in the snow :/

Sorry champ; if I'm already speeding and you cruise right up and start riding my ass, you're getting treated to three under the speed limit. Enjoy the trip.

Arizona has the worst drivers I have ever experienced. No turn signals, no courtesy, no common sense. Multiple accidents everyday. It is mind blowing how bad the drivers are here. If you wanna switch lanes on the highway you just have to turn your blinker on and cut someone off because otherwise they are just gonna speed up and not let you in.
