Why do normies not use turn signals?

Why OP? Fucking casual

Hmm a train horn sounds better.

I never use turn signals when changing lanes or merging, only when turning. It gives people an opportunity to speed up otherwise.

>listen to music in mp3 format
The worst part is, they have no idea just how bad it is.

>I never use turn signals when changing lanes or merging, only when turning. It gives people an opportunity to speed up otherwise.

I let up on the gas to allow a bigger gap so they can get in. Not everyone tries to be an asshole. A lot of times, people drive on the right but then need to get to the left side because on metro area freeways, some off ramp exits are on the left.

There's just too many people out there that enjoy seeing someone denied something and going LOL I hope you miss the off ramp. Those people reveal their true natures when there is no chance of penalty when trying to create more schadenfreude.

enjoy being cutoff faggot.

mp3 is format is fine, audiofaggot

I get that. But for every one of you, there's someone who speeds up instead. With my strategy, I'm at least guaranteed a spot.

I do not get cut off at any sort of significant frequency.

Signalling to change lanes isn't that big of a deal to me. It's when people come to a near stop in the middle of a single lane rural highway with no signal that bothers me.

>mfw I installed power folding mirrors on my shitbox so when i'm at a stop light and a douchebro truck with bright ass headlights shines right into my mirrors i can just fold them in

I let people get in front of me when they use their signals. Otherwise if I noticed they are trying to change lanes without signals then I speed up just enough to deny them that.
Fuck people that drive like they own the road.

Actually, a good portion of people will use their blinkers (at least where I am at, I don't know about you) then there are those who don't use their blinkers and just scare the shit out of me sometimes.

Mp3 format is fine, yes.

However Normie's receive their files from YouTube rips. They download extremely low quality versions from random apps on the play store.

It's god awful and it kills me.

No thanks.

>he legitimately thinks that bolts properly designed to resist shear in crash will in fact shear off but the electrical cable not rated for load won't fail

i'd be more inclined to let you merge/change lanes in tight traffic if you give me a heads up and more likely to down shift and cock block if you move with out signaling.

but I'm only one person

Because, when you have a set of competent drivers and a low speed limit you don't even need them on the highway. For example, I just went to Italy. 110kph speed limit, two lanes everywhere, and nobody even used their indicators. Nobody. It just flowed correctly, everybody looking twice before they changed lanes, and everybody had situational awareness.

Ramp the speed up, like in Germany, and yes, you'll need indicators. But a well educated set of drivers doesn't need them. You can easily guesstimate speed of traffic that's coming up on your rear - unless there is a 100+KPH difference like on the Autobahn.

This my friend lost his inline 6 3 series to an old lady who stopped dead on a rural road from 55mph without signaling to turn into her driveway.

You could also consider learning how to aim your mirrors properly.

Interesting, the mount bolts held but the shitty chinkomatic hex screws that fasten the bar to the mount sheared.

Or people could just stay out of other people's blind spots...

>victim blaming

i know, i just stopped caring so much

try not caring so much, it's very freeing

because normies are useless degenerates slowly catching cancer

They are aimed properly, I have them adjusted as seen here.
caranddriver.com/features/how-to-adjust-your-mirrors-to-avoid-blind-spots

The problem is that trucks have gotten so fuckhueg (and my car is low enough even at stock height) that the trucks lights shine right into all the mirrors at a stop light.

>ride motorcycle
>checking blind spot is muscle memory at this point

Not all cars can FLAC.

That's not at all what he said, though.
There's a big difference between
>MP3
and
>low quality source files
as the two are not mutually inclusive. For listening, V0 or 320cbr is indistinguishable from flac/alac on everything but the highest end setups. Conversely, a a low quality FLAC could sound identical to a 192kbps mp3 depending on how it was ripped/converted/archived/whatever.
If you think you're getting anything out of listening to a flac through your m80s and usb combo dac, you're an idiot.

Sure.

I have two LED ramps, one in spoiler and one in front of the grill.
You can challenge me but don't expect me to flash you with them since I'm not a retarded douche.

They're not using them for the same reason shitty small cars always drive around with one ill adjusted headlight blinding oncoming traffic, the same reason cars with automated highbeam/headlight systems blind everything around them especially the car in front of them since the busted camera system doesn't recognize shit, for the same reason people in cars with daylight running lights never switch on their real headlights so the tail lights turn on as well when the situation requires it.

People are oblivious and for the most part don't give a shit what happens in the world around them.

Fucking KILL yourself for discussing this anywhere on this board, much less in this thread. Autistic shitbot fuckwit

Sadly; this is the truth

Ooh, someone's triggered

Why drift into oncoming traffic and not just slow down? Or was your buddy not paying attention and following too close? She should have used her turn signal, but from your story it doesn't sound like it would have prevented him from hitting her. He would have had to brake in either case.

Wow you're an idiot.

So Americans stopped using their indiactors because Americans make active use of their FREEDOM to close the gap in front of them if someone needs to change lanes? That's disgusting, I hope I will never have to set foot in that godawful country.

Its not just Americans, as you can tell from the thread. But please, do keep out.

I've seen traffic in most of Europe, nobody has ever closed the gap after me indicating to merge in front of him. From Spain to Greece and from Sweden to southern Italy, nobody has ever been so much of an asshole.

>I hope I will never have to set foot in that godawful country.
What a pity for us

Fuck I guess you're right. Sorry man, I shouldn't of been so stupid. I better call the Feds to tell them I've never seen a rape happen so there statistics are way off, it should be 0%.

Their*

>never switch on their real headlights so the tail lights turn on as well when the situation requires it.
It baffles me that this is a legal thing.

Rear lights shall ALWAYS be visible as long as the car is on.

Automated Headlights have the same flaw, they only register darkness but fail to activate (so the tail lights switch on as well) for important situations like a low standing sun causing glares/ occasionally blinding, gloomy weather or heavy rain.

It's usually daddies first company car style of cars that have the worst drivers regarding situational awareness and automated bullshit. It's fascinating to watch white, silver or black cars drive without any light during heavy rain. They completely vanish on wet roads covered in mist caused by other cars.

My automated headlights turn on when the automated wipers turn on. Also when it's very cloudy and long before it gets actually dark. It's just a matter of how they're set up. I'd probably just hardwire them to the ignition, there's no reason to drive with the lights off.

It's no one's business which way I'm turning. Fuck off faggots.

I do use my signals, I just avoid this situation by getting over 2 miles before a left exit and driving my usual slow (speed limit) speed for those 2 minutes. People get super pissed at me for driving slow in the fast lane but it's the general public's fault for instilling me with the idea that no one's going to let me in when I really do need to get over.

>traffic ahead is slow
>person wants to get over left to stay in a faster moving lane
>coming up to traffic
>they speed up and move over in front of me without signalling
>they suddenly have to slow for traffic
>I Have to hit the brakes hard

This happens at least once a week on my daily commute. If they signalled and I saw that there was traffic ahead I'd slow down before they got over so there was less of a need to brake hard.

Getting over without signalling is not preferable, but it's okay when traffic is fast. It's stupid and dangerous when traffic is slow.

>When you signal several seconds in advance of changing lanes to pass a driver who accelerates slowly and drives below the speed limit and he still tailgates you and tries to get around and cut you off at every opportunity

Reality doesn't operate on how things 'should' work.

It's douche or be douched in this part of the country mate

I live in wv so several.

I only signal when I feel you need to be aware of my lane change. Like if I'm merging onto or from a frontage road or parking lot, turning at an intersection, things like that. If you're in the right lane going 55 and I'm coming up behind you at 70, then yeah, I'm gonna just dip into the left lane for a second and then get back in front of you. Not signaling won't affect you so why bother

You are an absolute idiot for that reasoning.

I'd love to hear you try to justify that one. There's no point in telling someone something they don't need to know. It's a waste of your time. In fact, the slow guy probably won't even notice your blinker in the first place if you're behind him, so it's double pointless.

Why drive the speed limit either when most of the time it doesn't matter. Until it does and you are giving a ticket. But in your case when it does matter you will end up mangled in a wreck with your ass next to your face. Now i don't care about you but the poor person you didn't want to "bother".
>"hurrdurr I said most of the time like most, like a lot a lot, so it don't matter
Signal always you lazy jackass

>space in front of me.
If there's space in front of you and you're paying attention why does it matter? I don't get why people get assblasted over other not using their blinker, pay more attention to the road and not your phone

>When people do signal, the next car back in the destination lane will put the pedal down to close the gap and block them.
This is the only thing I don't like about California driving, other than that (northern) California is a fantastic place to drive

Accidents happen whether blinkers are used or not. I could signal and him not notice, and he could change his lane while I'm passing him. Now, because I was bothering to signal, there's a gap in my concentration where I'm not as focused on the road as I could be, because I had to signal. Signaling will also subconsciously put me into a false sense of security. I'll think, because I signaled, he knows I'm passing him, therefore, I'm safe to pass. If I don't signal, part of me now has to pay more attention to him while I'm passing, in which case I'll notice his erratic lane change, and I can dodge it. In this scenario, both of our lives are saved because I didn't use my signal. A lot of other people share the mentality that signaling actually creates aggressive drivers, thereby endangering everyone on the road far more so than one guy who didn't signal. Maybe you've never driven in a big city before, in which case your opinion on the topic of safe highway driving is less valid than that of those of us who have been driving in 5pm city driving for as long as you've been alive.

Is this nonsense what you actually tell yourself? Seek help.

You actually have to think about signaling? It's a fucking reflex that you do automatically once you get past the degenerate stage of life

I completely agree with you user. I've actually been reading this thread at red lights while driving home in rush hour traffic and it's so obvious that people gun it when I signal so I just lull them into a false sense of security and then just rip right past them when I need to switch lanes

>Driving home at night with my low beams on
>Every faggot in the other lane has their high beams on and are blinding the shit out of me
>One faggot flashes his lights at ME

It's the fucking city, you don't need your high beams to see. If you're that fucking blind, you shouldn't be driving.

>barely a car's worth of space in front of me
>SUV pulls in from the left without signaling
>slams on the brakes

I just want to choke every californian

I always use them but here in Los Angeles if you indicate and don't move quick, the assholes that we are will notice you and quickly close any gap you thought you could squeeze into.

I don't condone it but I understand why the habit is prevalent here.

But most newer phones can.
Just use your phone as AUX.

Its literally a fucking wrist flick. If you can't do that while driving, then you should have your license revoked.
Fucking neanderthal.

They use them but their signal lights burned out years ago and they never check them

i never indicate on the highway unless there are people very close to me or i have someone on my ass. as for the rest, i only indicate when entering a secondary road

Do you live in the northeast? This region is literal hell with high beams. I know people that think like "what does it matter if I use my high beams on the highway? The other side is too far away to get blinded by it, and I have bad eyesight so I want to see the signs better."
Everyone here is entitled, they don't think others need to know what they're up to because they can handle the situation.
>blinding someone with high beams
>"so what if they start drifting into my lane? Now I can see perfectly and avoid them. Problem solved."
>not using blinkers
>"so what if they act unaccording to what I'm about to do? I'm a good driver, I'll just avoid them."

This, people.
Just because you don't actually punch someone in the face doesn't mean you're not an asshole for making them flinch.

>somebody does something I don't like
>they're a normie!!
fucking hate this meme

>>wear sneakers they bought at the mall
What's wrong with this?

>there's no reason to drive with the lights off.
IIRC it had something to do with environment.
Whatever bullshit reason that is it's not a good enough one to validate driving without lights on.

Why can't regular people push laws to be active in less than 5 minutes...

My law would be:
dim lights use limited to snow/fog/rainy weather and automatically enabled when high beams are enabled.
Rear lights ALWAYS on, and enforced use of rear dim lights during foggy weather. Failing to use will give a warning and further miss-use will become a ticket.
Turning lights MUST be orange and not allowed to be in the same hub as rear/break lights.

Itt: I'm too scared to use my turn signal but if a cop was behind me i would use it every opportunity i got
