OK so now that I have posted how to use a turn signal in your car, we can now talk about the etiquette of using your turn signal and changing lanes.
When driving down the road and you need to change lanes don’t just flip your turn signal on and then start to move over.
A single car length between two cars is NOT enough room for you to change lanes into that spot.
Don’t put your turn signal on and then just start to move over and expect the other cars to slow down and let you cut them off.
Plan a head. If you know that you need to take an exit, don’t wait until the last minute to change lanes to get to the exit.
Don’t try to cut all the way across the freeway with your turn signal on and expect everybody to get out of your way.
When you put your turn signal to change lanes you are asking the other cars to let you in. They are already in that lane. They have the right of way. They don’t have to slow down and let you in. If they do, then they are being nice. Give them a wave thanks.
Leave plenty of room between you and the car in front of you when changing lanes. The last thing you want is for the car in front of you to hit their brakes and then you rear end them.
And most of all be patient.

Turn signals….
My biggest pet peeve…
When I approach a red light, traffic stopped and there’s 2 lanes in the same direction. If you don’t have your turn signal on to signal a left turn from your lane, I’ll happily saddle up behind and wait for the light.
We’ve silently agreed to a contract.
You, without a turn signal, indicate you will be going happily through the intersection. It’s a contract I can easily sign.
The light turns green, at which time you turn on your left turn signal.
We had a deal, man… You TOLD me you would be going straight when in fact you’ve chosen to completely f_ck with me instead. I got behind you hoping to make an easy crossing through this @%$#% intersection.
Now, you are dead to me.
Make your left hand turn, but only with the Knowledge that you no longer deserve to breathe the same air as the rest of us. I’ll spend the rest of my drive imagining the gurgling sounds you’ll make after being repeatedly punched in the throat.
God bless…………..
