I honk at every car that turns in front of me without a turn signal.
That's all I can do.

It’s super annoying. The lane departure mitigation thing in my car freaks out & shakes the steering wheel if I try to change lanes without a turn signal.

Preach man, preach.

One of my biggest pet peeves. Just a flick of the finger, how fricking lazy and inconsiderate can you be?

Mine is when you use a turn signal to switch lanes and people speed up to prevent you from switching lanes. I sometimes times refer to it as the F me signal.

Now if your turning use the signal!

My pet peeve is when some jackass pulls out in front of you going slow, then slows down more to turn off the road a half mile later!

I do the opposite, if I see someone on my mirrors looking like they want to switch lanes, while their turn signal is off, I'm not letting them. The second the turn it on, I allow them in. Maybe they get it, but probably not.

If yall wouldn't speed up when I turn on my signal to merge over maybe I'd use it.

In Baton Rouge, it’s usually to pull in to an adjacent driveway since developers don’t ever connect parking lots in places like Essen or Siegen

They are trying to save gas. The turn signal uses amperage which makes it harder to turn the alternator.

Everyone (except you apparently) knows that there are only a certain number of flashes in each turn signals life span. You have to save them for important turns and just not use them willy nilly every time you shift lanes.

People not using their signal.

people pulling out in front me when there is no one behind me and they can’t wait 3 more seconds for me to pass to pull out.

Left lane campers.

People who ride their break when all they need to do is let off the gas while in traffic.

If there was ever a group of people that deserved to be sucker punched.

I think it is a social obligation to run them into the ditch.

I only indicate when I know I have it.
Now I have an a-hole way of getting over when no one will let me.

I look at the line of cars and wait for a nice one driven by a female. I then pretend not to see it and encroach on top of them. Once I enter their lane, they will hit their horn and apply brakes. Waiting for that, I floor it and take the gap their braking created.

This is rarely used, but it's very effective when you need to get over and can't get a space.
