Outlaw just said it.
I cant tell you how many times i've pulled out in front of somebody that had their blinker on, but did not mean it. Probly us old people cant hear the blinkers clicking noise. Turns entering into and in circles are usually more gradual than a normal 90 degree turn, often the blinkers do not self cancel. Also, some blinkers do not 'take' when trying to turn them on when you are in the middle of circle, sort of turning all the time, so they self cancel. Therefore, I use my signals when they will work, and I TOTALLY ignore all other peoples signals.
