In Houston, using a turn signal is like asking for permission - it’s a sign of weakness.

Plus, none of your damn business where I’m going.

It was beat into my brain by my dad and our driving instructor to always use your blinkers! I have a habit of using it when I'm leaving my driveway in the morning

You're only fricking yourself because if you are trying to get out of a parking lot and I don't know what way you are trying to go I ain't letting you out.

I only use mine if there is another vehicle around me. It's very rural here.

I’d rather you not use em than put em on so early you pass four streets and a parking lot.

What, and give everybody a heads-up as to what my intentions are so they can speed up so I can’t get over? No way ho- zay.

I’m at the point where I don’t regard a turn signal as a definitive indication to turn. Just that the bulb isn’t burnt.

“WTF WHY DID YOU PULL OUT?! I was gonna turn in at the place a quarter mile down.

I use one if someone is behind me or at the intersection I'm turning into. Otherwise I'm not using it. If I'm at a light with an arrow I don't need the blinker on. I use it occasionally. Not regularly.

If I'm turning into a turn lane at full speed, there is no reason to use a turn signal, as it would be no different to the cars behind me if I'm going that speed ahead of them in the same lane or in the lane I'm going into.

If there are cars behind me and I'm slowing down so the turn signal will help them be aware, I use it. Otherwise, probably not, not when it won't benefit anyone by using it.

Same here. If I'm driving down the street and nobody is around, I'm not fussed with it. If there's other traffic, I'll use them.

I use all the time. But seldom if I’m in a new area and Waze or Google gives me a late turn direction
