Why don't you use your indicators???!!!

    Why on earth do people not use their indicators!! It is so easy!
    There are so many places where you should use them but people do not bother :mad: such as...

    1) When you are overtaking a moving car
    2) when you have to change your position on the road due to an obstruction (like a parked car for example)
    3) when you are on a roundabout ( I hate waiting to enter a roundabout only to find that the car already on the roundabout approaching from my right decides to take the exit before the one I am it instead of indicating left for that exit...grrr )
    4) when you are at a T-junction
    5) when you are turning into an entrance
    6) when you are switching lanes

    There are loads more examples than this but the above 6 are ones that I encounter everyday thanks to some idiotic drivers!!
    Now don't get me started on people who insist on driving up other driver's asses!!!

    One that seems to be particularly endemic here is not indicating before leaving a motorway / dual carriageway, and if you ever see anyone who does, it's at the very same time as they turn the wheel to turn off onto the off-ramp.

    there needs to be a few more threads about this until everyone in the country understands what an indicator is for. 1 a week until it's sorted :D

    but seriously man I feel your pain. HEADMELT

    This one really really REALLY PISSES ME OFF!!!! :mad:

    I have taken to blaring my horn and giving the finger to anyone who does this to me - but I have to be fast cos the window of opportunity is very small!

    I use my indicators sporadically:
    on, off, on, off, on, off, on, off, on, off, on, off, on, off, on, off


    closed before indicators becomes the new foglights, peasant banned for utter stupidity :D
