Some people activate their turn signals a little early....

...."I don't know why that dang fool tried to PASS me when I was turning...
........He should have known I was going to turn..
............I had my left blinker on for at least 2 miles.""

Direct QUOTE from my wife's Grandmom.

She drove 44 miles per hour IN the city and on the HIGHWAYS.
She said "it" (her BIG A$$ Buick) just felt right at 44 miles per hour.
(Accident happened on a 2 lane rural 55 MPH zone in the middle of nowhere....
...albeit this was 40 years ago,
.... we still see this all too often in 2012)
