I’ve already forgotten what this thread was about, but just noticed my four ways are still on after parking an hour ago.

What the he## am I here after??
He would go back to where he was working,
and say, "oh, that's it!"
But he was 89 years old.x1Heavy and HoneyBadger67 Thank this. -
Just the usual steering wheel holder. I do a quick look around every time the truck stops for a break. Someone hits you even if it’s their fault their lawyer can argue they couldn’t see you because your lights weren’t operating properly. Sometimes if I have tons on my mind or I’m somewhere new and trying to read the signs I’ll forget the cancel the turn signals but most I ever had it going without noticing is probably a minute after the fact.

I don't know how a driver dont notice his turn signal is still one. It's an aggravating sound and in these new trucks, it is louder than ever!
-
When I got my first new truck, the first thing I swore I'd disable was the beeper for the turn signal. That thing drove me nuts, but I could never find the beeper. So I learned to live with it.
As I've gotten older and more forgetful, I realize it's not a bad thing. This was confirmed one night while driving one of our older trucks. I must have driven two miles or more with the turn signal on. Fortunately there was nobody around to see it. -
This morning I woke up at a PFJ north of Salt Lake City and the guy next to me did a typical steering wheel holder pre-trip. He didn't do one. Started his truck, dumped his piss cup on the ground, and off he went. I finished my pre-trip and hopped on the freeway, and there he sat on the shoulder just a few hundred yards away with a flat drive tire. I chuckled just a little bit.
