This is a very important topic to cover - maybe we should take a survey?

I also recently installed turn signal “beepers” . They are very effective in making sure you turn off your signal once you’ve made your turn.

Shouldn't we be allowed to run them off the road after, say, a mile or two?

I’ve had this thought before - ban all signals and pay more attention to what the driver is actually doing - been caught many times by poor signal usage.

True- however, when I was getting mine, they indicated there was a 6-month wait due to supply issues. Not sure if that still exists?

It is absolutely my business, if I'm taking a left and the person facing me from the other direction has THEIR left turn signal on, and so I assume it's safe to take a left - but it turns out they just didn't turn their signal off from their last turn and are actually going straight. Right into my vehicle.

When you are on the road and behind the wheel of ANY vehicle, your behavior is MY business.

Please provide a link to the beeper on Amazon. ( or the actual name, I’m unable to find it)

Step one: Mount broken golf clubs on cart. Minimum of 6. (easy to find)
Step two: Load with pop bottle rockets
Step three: Let the fun begin!

My cart (I bought it used) has both the beepers and the red arrows in the mirrors... It's virtually impossible to forget to turn them off...

I have a 2016 Yamaha golf cart and it was equipped with self canceling turn signals. They have worked flawlessly since we have owned the cart. Worth every penny we paid to have them installed.

Why would you expect them to use the turn signals correctly when most Villagers don't know how to drive correctly?
