When we’re on the road, one of the most important tools that we have at our disposal as drivers is our turn signal. Luckily, we have two of them! The only problem is that we are generally really bad at using our turn signals, and then when we see other people using them improperly (or not using them at all) we tend to get a little irate. So, this blog today is dedicated to why we tend to not use our turn signals, and why we are WRONG and should be ashamed of ourselves, and then correct our behavior.

So, some people don’t use their signals when they’re making a right turn because it’s just a right turn. False! No turn is ever “just” a turn! You should be using your turn signals no matter what… because you’re making a turn. That’s what they’re for. Come on, people!

Another reason we might not use our signals is that there’s nobody around. Sure, that’s a somewhat valid argument, but when you don’t use your signals you create habits for yourself. And those habits can carry over into times when you ARE around other people, and then it’s super dangerous to not be using your signals.

The thing about turn signals is that they are our primary way of communicating with other drivers on the road, and when you don’t use them you are not only endangering yourself but the other drivers that you are sharing the road with. So, moral of the story, use your turn signals! And if you’re the type of person who prefers videos, check out this one on using your signals!
