Do High-end Cars not Come With Turn Signals?

 

To all you people out there that are too lazy to use a turn signal, stop being so lazy!

Don't be surprised when you get rear ended because you are too lazy to use your turn signal.

It's there for a reason; you are not special and above the law. Don't stop on a major road to turn onto a side street without using your signal.

Don't sit at a light or stop sign and assume every other driver knows which way you are going to turn.

Agree, but it is everyone on the road. Do the right thing, get off the cell phones and use your turn signals. Don't make people guess which direction you are going. Make the roads safer for everyone.

My mother does this all the time and it drives me crazy being a passenger with her. I get so tense just worrying that someone is going to rear end us. Unfortunately, she also fits the "High-End Car = No turn signal" stereotype...

Yes, that's seems to be a problem in this area and it drives me not crazy but I think how stupid can people be. The speed in many areas is 25-35 MPH and here they are driving much less, not showing they want to turn. Then in the turn they also turn on the turn signal in many cases. Much too late! More so, too often people are also on their phones, so there is no third hand to work the turn signal. And do not let me get into / talk about the drivers in their ''supposedly top-of the class cars" who park in the fire lane, speak, in the front of the Jewel and in rare cases there might be a driver in the car but I had too often people shopping at the Jewel and also the Dominicks in LF. much longer than I did. But you never see the L.F/L.B. cops giving out at least a warning. There could be even a 2nd warning because for many it is no problem to pay a $50-100 parking ticket but if there is a mandatory attendance of a "brush-up driver skill class", a couple hours or more, that time would hurt and be an inconvenience for many more than a fine.
