Turn Signals?
 
Not to be critical but observant ...do people in Florida have an aversion to using their turn signals?

Turn signals? Is that the little lever thingy on the steering column?

Greg Nelson 02-24-2015 05:40 AM

That's the one! I've noticed that everywhere we go in this state that people VERY seldom use their turn signals. In TV the villa we rent a couple months each year comes with a golf cart that DOES have turn signals that I ALWAYS use. BUT, they do not cancel out and I have to be constantly aware of that.

Yes! And it is everywhere in Florida not just TV.

Using directionals in this state is the "signal" for the motorist in the lane you intend to move into to speed up and block you out.

I totally agree... It just p...es me off that people think you can read their minds on which way they are going.

Tailagating seems to be a state wide activity.

Greg Nelson 02-24-2015 07:02 AM

I didn't want to bring up tailgating too...BUT...

Also>>> No One goes the speed limit>>> Either in the passing lane going under the limit or in the right lane flying low...

Zip-Zip..every-ones in a big hurry. When they get to where they're going they don't know what to-do ya I know it's my senior thinking

Since no one is a native Villager, no one must use turns signals in their home town.

News Flash... if you are driving in FL never ever trust a turn signal! It is better that some people don't use them. Just wait and see if they are really going to turn or not!

The reason no one uses their turn signals is that it would require either they put down the cell phone or take the other hand off of the steering wheel.

You are so right:wave:

Actually, after seeing the young woman, with a cell phone to one ear, and a cigarette in the other, I guess she would need to use her left knee for the turn signals.........
