I use turn signals to tell other drivers that I’m going to turn.

I use them to tell other drivers that I'm going to turn, even if I don't think there is any other driver around, because it's just a good habit to have. So I'm basically the tankie in this compass I guess

Cops? Laws? Getting pulled over?

I'm just here to ~~grill~~ turn for God's sake!

There are plenty of good reasons to always use your turn signals. You don't do it because it's the law, you do it because it makes sense to do every time.

Don't break the law while breaking the law.

A speed limit of 120±10 km/h isn't that rare on highways in Europe or at least Germany.

Driving a bike means you use a turn signal once, ten minutes ago, and have only just noticed you never turned it off.

He's talking about a motorcycle, where the turn signal doesn't turn off automatically

I use a turn signal every time so I don't have to think.

I use turn signals to let others know of my intent to turn or change lanes. I sometimes use turn signals while in a dedicated turn-only lane, as this is redundant information. I never use turn signals while in a dedicated turn lane with an adjacent turn-only lane, as this makes it unclear if I'm providing redundant turn information or if I intend to change lanes into the other turn-only lane. (I hate it when people do that last one.)

I don’t get this one. At very least lib right should be something like “charges $0.50 at every stoplight for the use of his time”

Turn signal is a flashing crypto logo.
