I've been doing quite a bit of driving recently. Between going to doctor's appointments with Melissa, to picking the kids up from school, grocery shopping, and other errands. The one thing I've noticed each and every time that I go out, is that many drivers do not signal their turns.
It's hard to believe that something as simple as pushing a lever up (to go right) or down (to go left) can be so complex. It seems that the art of the use of a turn signal is lost. I've even seen a police officer ignore a car in front of him not signal his right turn. I've seen people pulled over for less.
One of the first things I had to learn when I took my drivers ed was how to use a turn signal. I'm thinking maybe we need to get back to this. I would have failed my driving test had I not used my signal at anytime. If it's that critical on the driver's test, why can't it be just as critical in daily application? How many accidents would it stop?
Just my 2 cents.
