Why doesn't anyone use a blinker/signaler/turn indicator anymore?

Seems like the art of using turn signals has gone extinct in these parts. I think it increases the likelihood of auto accidents, yet I'm not sure if anyone believes that a little ole light like that could REALLY cause an accident, could it?

I for one have run into several situations where the non-use of a turn signal has pushed the possibility of an accident to near certain. Also, please turn on your lights when it's dark outside. If I can't see your vehicle until your 5 feet away from me because you refuse to acknowledge your vehicles' lack of illumination, you should probably reassess your license to drive. You also look really stupid driving in a pitch black car, and I'm surprised you have a clue as to how fast you're going if you can't see your speedometer.


/Rant

Use your blinkers/signals/turn indicators, AND for fricks sake turn on your damn lights, I promise you won't be charged by the watt. TIA

I'm not signaling for a lane change Bc your selfish arse will just speed up and cut me off.

And I'm not signaling for a turn Bc it's not my problem that you're following too close and might rear end me.

Because especially in baton rouge it means for the person in the other lane to speed up and block you from getting over.

Baton rouge has the worst drivers ever.

Even new Orleans drivers let you over when you use your blinker.

Because they've got their phone in one hand and steering with other. Nothing to turn blinker on with.

Because its too hard to use a blinker when they're either texting or talking on the phone.

Seems they thought everything was automated...literally everything except the ignition, brakes, and gas.
