If you were around my car in a roundabout you would have no doubt ever about what my next driving intention is. I was totally jammed up when we first moved here for about two miles and then the theory of letting others know and never trusting their notifications via blinker at any time. I trust their actions.
I use my blinkers for everything every time as a basic human courtesy to others. It is also the law I think.
Before I changed from a professional truck driver to a dispatcher I received an award for one million then another award for one and a half million incident-free miles. I love driving like the first day I got my license.
Do you know that's harder in the N.Y.C. area than it is in The Villages? Just be considerate that's all. Take it easy. Give the other person a break and whatever you do never ever trust their blinkers. Watch their head, that's the biggest tell for their next move. In The Villages, I did notice that you only see eyebrows over the steering wheel of most cars and they just pull out into traffic sometimes without looking either way. It's never ever going to change. Defensive driving is your only chance around here. Good Luck!
