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.


Sounds to me like you wait too long in your original lane after turning on your signal. When you are clear to change lanes, signal when you start the merge, no one will ever speed up to stop you...fact.

Sure they do, once they've already changed lanes and gotten into a left/right turn only lane. I even see cops do this dumbass shite.

With one hand holding the smart phone and the other one on the wheel, it's tough to reach over for that turn signal.

easy enough to hit the turn signal without taking your left hand off the wheel

You cant use em in houston, these dumbass Texans will try to block you from changing lanes. You put them on when you are halfway in the lane.

Ohhhhh nothing gets my goat more than people who hesitate or take too long to change lanes. Make a fricking decision and let it rip.

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


Hit the accelerator and the turn signal at the same time.

You're not asking them to come over, you're telling them.

The worst are the people at 4 ways stops, who are stopped opposite you, when you are planning on going straight through the intersection, who don't have on a turn signal, so you assume they are going straight in the opposite direction, and then, when you proceed, they come to turn toward you and look at you like you've done something horrible.

I determined long ago that turn signals are a dealer option for cars sold in Louisiana.

I’m a perpetual non signal user but I’ve always wondered.. are y’all talking about people that are merging, in close traffic, etc. I’ll use it then. But sorry, I’m not gonna use my signal when You’re going 70 in the right lane and I’m going 85. Nothing I do is going to impede your driving when I get over. So I never use them then.

IMO, that's not as bad as when in that same situation you need to turn left so you use your turn signal, but they don't use yours. Then you end up in some awkward pass where you end up slowly entering the intersection and end up passing behind them instead of across the front.
