Why Won't People Use Turn Signals?

Every f-n day as I worm my way to work I see it. When I am out riding on my f-n moto I see it. When I am nervously sitting in my GF's f-n passenger seat I see it. I see it and it makes me so f-n angry.

I see people not using their turn signal. Why? Why is it that hard? Is it so time consuming and/or distracting? Does it delay your text to your best friend? WHY IS IT SO F-N HARD?!

That dinker-dinker sound is SOOOOO ANNOYING, though!

People only care about themselves which is contrary to the purpose of a turning signal.

It seems to get worse all the time. Idiot drivers, I guess.

I guess that is what it all boils down to. I was hoping more for a genetic mutation or something.

Alright, here is me admitting to being a retard. In my truck, I don't use my turn signals. But I have, what I think is, a valid reason. My relay's are dead so even though both the front and the rear blinkers work, they blink fast as if one is out. I've been pulled over twice and had to prove that they both work. I just got sick of being pulled over and haven't had the time to replace the relays. Especially since the previous owner turned it into a crazy rats nest down there. That's been fun.

They're not fitted to BMWs and Audis (are they?). These are premium cars. Therefore by not indicating you are showing your desire and ambition to be a premium car owner.

Because it means that people would have to think for one iota about someone other than MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME.

I always use my turn signals. I've noticed two types of non-turn-signal-users out there. The majority are just lazy clueless bastards. These people will also just ride the solid line in a lane that is ending and merge without signalling or looking. The other kind don't signal strategically. I mostly see these guys in bigger cities with lots of traffic. If you signal your intention to change lanes other people will speed up and close the gap, so they don't signal and just jump in there.

Because people who don't use their turn signals are lazy, worthless excuses for human beings who don't deserve to be members of polite society.

I have turn signals and I use them always to beat the stereotype of a douche bmw.

Weight savings bro and aerodynamics. having flashing lights only on one side can potentially throw off the weight distribution to one side and cause an accident. :P

You might as well run with the hazards on.

Not sure if being sarcastic or not, but I beg to differ. When you share the road with other drivers, it is your responsibility to allow them as much warning about your future maneuvers as is reasonably allowed because you nor they can reliably anticipate what you're going to do.
