It's not the central point of your argument, but it bears calling out - there is plenty of body language on the road. I can see these and more:
- Drivers turning their heads to check side mirrors before changing lanes.
- Swerving slightly when making blind-spot check.
- Front wheel turning before the vehicle turns.
- Drifting side-to-side within lane, signifying the driver
is distracted (or drunk).
- Speed discrepancy signifying the driver is possibly lost and at risk.
of making a sudden turn.
- Tailgating or excessively quick approach, indicative of possibly impulsive behavior.
Predicting behavior of other drivers on the road is key to survival.
- hinkley 6y agoOh absolutely. See also: - Turn signal on when there is no space to change lanes to indicate "soon I need to be in that lane so you'd better move before it becomes an issue" But it takes a long time to learn this which is part of the challenge of being a 16 year old (or in the case of some people I know, an inattentive 35 year old). The telegraphing is important enough that some of us flip out when a driver ignores right-of-way trying to 'be nice', or keeps tapping the gas and then not going. It's your turn (or at least it is now!) just go before you get somebody killed.
