Title: turn signal
Post by: darb85 on May 03, 2007, 06:49:16 PM
Am I the only idiot who forgets his turn signal on all the time?  :dunno_white: I feel like such an idiot driving more than a block and looking down and seeing the fuggin green light blinking its little head off. :2guns:  I should put an idiot speaker on it that screams at me after 10 seconds of being on. grrr.

 You should get better at turning it off with time.. i know it took me a while but now, I find that I just kinda push it in all the time just to make sure its off  :thumb:

Yep.  I'm pushing that damn button to the point of paranoia(sp).

I'll obsessively click the button once every five minutes or so.. and 3 or 4 times if I'm sitting at a stop light. I also kick the shifter at least 3 times per stop light to make sure I'm still in first.

Just think of it this way... you are preparing well in advance for the next turn.

Yeah, I used to leave mine on quite a bit.  Now, I obsessively check to make sure they're off while riding.  I find that I am always checking them when approaching intersections where I'm going straight.  Some cagers will believe whatever your blinkers indicate and will turn right in front of you.

You're not alone, all of my riding buddies leave their signals on...it drives me nuts!

That's right, keep 'em guessing; you never know when cagers will change lanes at any time without using their turnsignals.
