Why are the blinkers broken on 60% of vehicles?

Only explanation for the lack of their use, cause no way there are this many hopelessly lazy, inconsiderate fricks driving around (/s)

It's so fricking easy to use a blinker it makes my head hurt to try to think of reasons why someone would choose not to use it.

If any of you don't use your blinkers to indicate to other drivers wtf you're about to do, then frick you.

Mine went out recently. Installed new headlights and I think something got screwed up. The headlight blinker blinks 2x as fast as the other one. I hit my tail light blinker and it temporarily worked, in those moments and the headlight was normal speed.

Shifted back again though.

Been meaning to vent this for some time, and just remembered while I was sitting down for a long winter's nap.

Also, meant to include this in my Festivus airing of grievances, but forgot, so had to vent before Christmas.

Usually the reason I don't use a blinker is because most people will usually speed up to close a gap once they see a blinker.

I too am fed up with lazy bastards not being able to use blinkers. Also, tired of people not being able to turn into the correct lane.

Bring back traffic cops that mercilessly pull people over for these things. These are bad driving habits that lead to a lot of minor accidents.

I would also like to see a ban on females driving, or at least, ban them from going in reverse in parking lots. We should have dedicated female driver parking that doesn't require them to back out of parking spaces or ever use reverse.

And, it's about time to allow violent retaliation for those special inbred morons that put the billion watt headlights that are bluish/whitish and blind every other driver. We should be allowed to follow these people and take a hammer to their headlights whenever they stop.

This should especially attach to those idiots baws that think they need massive arrays of fog lights on their bumpers and a full width horizontal light bar across the roof of their truck - that they activate, not when driving through unlit country roads, but while on city streets that have street lights and pose no need for extra illumination. These are, without a doubt, the worst male drivers that have ever existed. Naturally, these idiots also put 6" lifts on their trucks, fail to adjust their headlights, and blind everyone on the road, especially those in front of them.

Finally, women that drive minivans should pay a flat $5000 fee every year. These are the worst drivers in the history of mankind.

You're the reason people watch drivers in the other lane and as soon as they see the head whip around to check the lane, they step on it to close the gap. Because they are tired of jackasses like you that are too lazy to use a blinker.

You''re too damn lazy to do it the right way, and thus no one knows if and when you're coming. The safest thing for them to do is close the gap as that is the only thing you're actually checking and the only thing you care about.

If you're squeezing into gaps that people can close in the 1-2 seconds after you've turned on your blinker, you're even a bigger problem.

Driver's test needs to be just a little harder than it is, then retards like you would be taking the bus.

It's even worse when they have their blinker on at a green light and they don't even turn. Just this last week I've almost got into like 5 wrecks by turning at a green light with someone with their blinker on going straight. People just can't drive theses days

There should not be a gap.

The fact that there is a gap allows me to say frick it to using a blinker. If you aren't going to follow the law why should I?

Get the frick out the left lane.
