When I drive, essentially only use turn signals to restrict my behaviour vs the default assumption. For example, if a car is indicating to turn right, I will assume it is likely to either go right or go straight and wait accordingly. Reason for this is too many times I've just narrowly avoided a collision because someone forgot to cancel their signal, or they were signalling ridiculously early for a turn they were going to make further up, or even that they just activated the signal accidentally. Not to suggest prediction is bad, but just that also not treating turn signals with too much authority is safer.
