Your assuming drivers are professional.
Last Friday I am on I-96 coming out of Detroit where express and local lanes merge, there are two lanes until the telegraph exit from the local lanes, but some idiot truck drive in the center lane on the express side, sees the adding lanes and had to think it was merging traffic, panics, whips into far left lane, cutting off a few cars that are doing 75+ mph, and sit there for a mile and without using any turn signal.
Later as I'm going into m14, there is a driver who decided that he needs to move to the left lane to pass another truck, again people are traveling 75 PLUS and he just got over, almost causing a serious accident. Oh and no turnsignal.Flat Earth Trucker, Cattleman84, blairandgretchen and 1 other person Thank this. -

The guy was too lazy to park. This was at the Pilot in Biggs, Oregon where 97 and I-84 interect. It's usually always busy with few open stalls to park.Sirscrapntruckalot Thanks this.

Be thankful they aren't doing u turns in front of you.
I don't know why one would expect turn signals when they can't follow all the other laws or even read the signs.
And they blame the eld mandate for the highest accident year on record.
The gooberment wants all this safety SH on vehicles and no one even uses it.
Must be why self driving vehicles are in the works. Those things probably know how to drive.Sirscrapntruckalot, tinytim and FlaSwampRat Thank this. -
Is it ok if i just leave my turn signal on at all times? My elbow gets sore turning it off and on like that.

The majority if truckers these days are newbies and they bring their 4-wheeler habits with them. They don't have a CB and never hear anyone object to their bad behavior, except maybe online. None of those newbies even suspect anybody is talking about THEM. "It must be all of THOSE bad drivers, not me. This is how my trainer did it."Cattleman84, D.Tibbitt, mustang190 and 1 other person Thank this.
