I don’t know about this person’s experience, but there are an overwhelming number of drivers here that don’t notice signals. I can be in the right lane (two lanes in both directions), signal a right turn, slow to turn and they’ll still ride right up on me and look pissed rather than go around.
- elzbardico 2y agoIt gets worse, some drivers seem to adopt an adversarial attitude towards the usage of turn signals and will deliberately accelerate or do something else to make things more difficult to you.
- jagged-chisel 2y agoIf they’re behind me, they’re risking their own liability. Otherwise (changing lanes, left turn across traffic), I think it’s more “not ahead of ME!” than about the signal itself.
- gosub100 2y agoIf two cars travelling the same direction contact each other such that the front axle of one car bumps the rear axle of the other (the car in front), it's usually the car in front that has the safety problem. This is the same principle behind the PIT maneuver.
- thfuran 2y agoIf there's a rear end collision severe enough that the axles are contacting each other, both parties have a safety problem.
- gosub100 2y agoI wasn't talking about that. I meant lateral motion
- jagged-chisel 2y agoI didn’t mention safety issues
