OTR Drivers, why do you hate to use turn signals?

I always forget to turn 'em off!

 

Hell, a lot of 'em have to balance a cell phone, coffee mug, and pen...doesn't leave a free hand to communicate effectively.

But I hear ya...deterioration is clearly evident in the quality of "professionals".

 

I always use them, but I might be considered "Old School".

 

This is such a rhetorical question - some people use them, a lot of people don't. Complaining about it isn't going to make the people that don't use them start to, so it's pointless.

More and more people are taking the "well no one else uses them so why should I?" stance. All you can do is continue to use them yourself and drive correctly.

 

I always say to myself "What a professional" when one just jumps in front of me like that.

 

it add's to the resale value if they are not used much....you know like, "only driven to church"...???

 

Reaching you hand down, flipping that little lever takes a lot of time. Probably too distracting to some drivers. lol

I agree with what someone else said....I forget to turn them off more times than not.

 

I thought you said you have a fast truck?

 

Using turn signals or not, simply comes down to: are you a 'professionaly trained', 'courteous' driver.......or.......???
