Exactly! Lady blew her horn at me twice today, and not just a friendly little reminder to go, which by the way was NOT the proper thing to do. I assume she could not see the traffic going in both directions, both cars and carts, but oh well.....I wasn't about to be prodded into crossing two lanes of oncoming traffic, when a little patience made it safer for all.
As for the turn signals, it's definitely not just in TV. It's everywhere. I often see people who do use the signal, but not until they are already in the turn....what good is that? On the other hand, I don't always "believe" the signal, so I usually wait until I see a definite slow down and/or start to turn before I act on their intention.
This time of year, I'm glad I live close enough to 466 to be able to go about my business, avoiding most roundabouts. I really dislike those inside lanes that have the right of way to turn right, crossing the outside lane. Scares me!
Speaking of traffic, did anyone notice the long line of cars this afternoon on 466, lined up to turn onto Morse, headed toward Sumter Landing? Way more than I have even seen.
