Sweet mother of God, people, what's the deal with the assholes who don't signal they're turning until they've just started the turn? At that point, THERE'S NO FUCKING REASON TO SIGNAL! IT'S OBVIOUS WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!

The reason we signal, O Clueless Shitbrained People, is to give people ADVANCE warning of what we're doing to do; not to tell them what we ARE doing.

Fuck!!

(apologies in advance to Bouncy Ball for this rant)

2. Its amazing how many people don't get it.
And of course, in most of the South they just don't bother.

3. I like the ones that sit in the turn lane till
the light turns green, then flip it on as they pass the cross walk.

6. Don't ever drive in Boston, we don't even obey the laws of physics,
turn signals are a sign of weakness, when the light turns red 5 cars WILL run it in each direction, NEVER make eye contact, another sign of weakness, and if you feel compelled to use a turn signal use the wrong one to totally confuse those around you.

7. I had some dip-shit signal for about 4 blocks until they finally turned
And they had their foot on the brake the entire way. I was back there going "Oh, are we going to turn here... nope... here... nope... here... nope. GOD DAMN IT! TURN YOU STUPID FUCK!"

Where do these retards get their license at?

8. I think people do it in hopes that they won't get pulled over
kinda like tapping your brakes while executing a rolling stop so that your brake lights show up...

I understand how much this pisses you off, and I agree, but
gee, you need to relax and have a beer. You're getting your blood pressure way up there!!!!

You're never gonna be able to change 'em, so just try to stay out of their way.

signals they are turning 14 miles before the turn.

11. Now that one is definitely correlated with our elderly drivers...
at least where I live--LOL

Usually the ones whose heads can not be seen above the seat rest so that it looks like the car is driving itself!

10. May I add the idjits who can't round a curve or turn left without
Edited on Sat May-21-05 06:35 PM by hlthe2b
swerving into the right lane. (Almost always a roadhog SUV and/or some jerk on a cell phone)

I've almost been hit three times this month by idiots who do this. :mad:

12. My beef

"IT ONLY COMES IN ONE SHADE OF FUCKING GREEN"

13. Why don't car makers fix the turn signal so that when the wheel is
turned to a 50 degree angle the signal automatically goes on?

17. You left out
the drivers who stop at the end of on-ramps.

And my personal fave, people who slow down at the entrance to tunnels right after the "maintain speed through tunnel" signs.

18. Too many people feel that they don't need to, since the rest of us
have frigging ESP.
