Are they an option now, because most cars/trucks don't seem to use them. :stir:

I think it's just an evolutionary problem. See, humans no longer have enough hands what with needing to hold a cell phone with one, and work the steering wheel, climate controls, stereo, make-up, and take notes with the other. Please note that the primary focus is on the cell phone which gets a dedicated hand, those other secondary uses are relegated to the secondary or "off" hand "as resources are available"... :rolleyes:

most of the time i dont use them....

BUT if i am going to... not cut someone off but get closer than normal i use them.

if you cant see a 7200lbs loud ass rig slowly coming over one way or another... yeah....

My pet peave is when I am sitting at a light waiting to either go straight or turn right and I sit there and wait for a car coming from the left to pass so I can go, then they turn right without a signal of course. Meaning I could have gone minutes ago if butt nuget would have used a signal, I degress. :doah:

My father-in-law has been a truck driver for 37 years and is convinced that cars made after 1980 don't come equipped w/ turn signals.

I almost always use mine when I have traffic around me, especially if I know someone else needs to know what direction I'm going. If I'm alone on the road (yeah right, this is California) I usually don't use them.

Turn signals are habit for me, I use em wether other cars are there or not. I have used my turn signal on roads where the only choice is to turn 1 direction :doah:

I'd like to put a bullet in the head of every person I get behind that's yapping on a cell phone.

That's exactly right, it should not be a "lets see know, should I use my turn signal this time or not???" deal. Just use them all the time and everything will go smoother for everyone. What, are you guys afraid you'll wear out your blinker or something? Or is it just too much effort to lift your hands from, well, where ever it is you have them when you don't signal... ;) Can you tell this is also one of my pet peeves?

Hey now, that blinker fluid can be hard to come by, and i dont want to waste any when i dont have to.

Blinkers on my tow rig, yes. On my K5 no, since they don't work after I put my steering column back together :o

Only when someone is behind me. :D

yes, i agree to this. when i tow i ALWAYS use my blinker... i didnt pay an extra 40 dollars for side turn signals on the trailer to not use them.... rotfl

i use mine just out of habbit, ive been knwon to throw em on when im wheelin in the middle of the woods with no one around me.

its habit for me too. Even on some of our field and pen roads that have 90* turns that you can only go that way I'll even turn them on just cause I am making a turn.... then I realize it and turn it off and feel stupid.

rotfl Just don't let that happen once you get married. You won't hear the end of it until the next day
