It's not hard & takes very little physical effort. Most important, it gives other drivers on the road around you a good clue about your INTENTIONS.

I see more wasted time from signal errors than any other thing.
Please with dark chocolate peanut butter cups on it....know that your signal makes all the difference in aiding the flow of traffic because you are communicating your intention to those around you.

If you wait too late to signal, or even brake first, it's just about the same as not signaling as far as being a good communicator. You lost a chance to give people a heads up so they might enter the street you are on while you slow down to turn. Now they'll wait for 6 more cars, 3 carts and a concrete truck.
