Just stop. I ride a motorcycle in SOFLA. I have rode all over the USA. None of you have shit on these numbnuts. The Mad Max series of movies are basically a training video.
I do drive a BMW 98 Z3 in mint condition and use turn signals to avoid the stupidity of the intrusive city folk who invade our mountain community. BTW Anon, learn capitalization, spell check.and punctuation.
I pull up to a 4way stop, kinda slow down, other guy coming towards me stops and I don't bother to stop and then he starts the turn in front of me. We holler back and forth a bit, "use your signal ass hole, read the stop sign fucker, we go on our way. Daryl
18 - They are replacing all the 4 way stops around here with traffic circles and people still have no idea what to do. They had to put big piles of rocks in the middle to stop all the people just driving across.
What? People entering the circle have the right of way? That's the stupidest fucking thing I've heard all day. That''ll bring traffic to a dead stop in the circle.
I think you'all are talking about roundabouts. I worked in the transportation field and there's a difference: https://www.ofallon.org/street-division/faq/what-is-the-difference-between-a-traffic-circle-and-a-roundabout sammy
Turn signal? Is that what that stick thingy on the steering wheel is... I thought it was for hanging your little garbage bag that you got as a gift for your oil change on.
Since the subject in this thread is heavy on turn signals, here's my thoughts.
12+ seasons driving big trucks, no accidents, no moving violations. I was always a stickler for using my signals, from making turns to making lane changes. To me, it was just part of being a 'professional', which I took a lot of pride in. That turn signal use has stuck with me, 35 years later. Even though I now drive a small pickup, I still look at using my blinkers as part of being a professional driver. That said, I admit my proper use of signals does make me feel like a 'square'. But that's okay, as it makes me feel like an Old Skool square, which I think is a pretty good way to be.
My turn signals went out on my truck a few months back and before I gave up on trying to figure it out myself and just putting it in the shop, I was using my hand signals. People have no idea what hand signals are anymore.
Hand signals: Can't get much more Old Skool than that!!! I'm cool with it if your local LEO's are. But then, you're probably on a first name basis with all of them by now.
#18 is very fitting in Tulsa OK now. Over half the city has been without power since Sunday morning. People just blindly drive through intersections with dead traffic lights.
You think people drive bad on the road try going out in the boat on a busy weekend. Hell, I just go sit at the boat landing & watch the mayhem. Reminds me of why I don't put the boat in.
Go marin county,califukya. Everybody owns a bmw , doesn't use turn signals or common sense.
ReplyDeleteTo be clear, NO BMW driver knows how to use turn signals. Its that way EVERYWHERE.

DeleteBMW drivers: WTF is a turn signal?
DeleteHave you seen this one?

ReplyDeleteI grew up with traffic circles in Germany and I'm constantly amazed by people that can't figure them out.
DeleteThat’s too funny.
DeleteLearned them in the UK. On the other side of the road and the other side of the car.
DeleteSome states the people in the circle have right-of-way, some states the people entering the circle have right-of-way.
DeleteWhat? People entering the circle have the right of way? That's the stupidest fucking thing I've heard all day. That''ll bring traffic to a dead stop in the circle.

DeleteTurn signals are like seat belts. Everybody's got one and they all blink. Or words to that affect. Eod1sg Ret
ReplyDeleteI thought Lexus was Greek for no turn signals.

ReplyDeleteWhy let the world know what I'm going to do ahead of time? - y'all can figure it out when I do it. Don't follow so close. :)
ReplyDeleteTennessee has the bad habit of coming to a full and complete stop at the end of freeway on ramps. Bless their heart.
ReplyDeleteAnd "Bless your Heart" means "Go fuck yourself" in the south.
DeleteMust be an appalachia thing. They do it in PA as well.
DeleteStop signs on freeway entrances. The Glendale* drag races. Except theirs are blind corners as well.

I believe that.
DeleteWC do folks wave back when making a right turn?
DeleteTerrytheTerrible - with a smile!
DeleteIsn't "bless their heart" church lady language for "F_uck Them"
ReplyDeleteNo....
DeleteYes....
Delete"Knowing what to do at a four way stop"-
ReplyDeleteIf you pull up at one and there's a vehicle both to your right and left, who has the right-of-way?
I drive around with my left signal light on. It keeps the traffic back and people on their toes. Arty
ReplyDeleteI learned a long time ago that using turn signals just gives the other driver advance knowledge so he can get in your way and mess you up.

They all must be low on blinker fluid.
