And if they do have themdon't you love the ones
 

who put them on just as they turn? Gives a whole new meaning to defensive driving. Like someone else said it is more like mind reading.

How about the ones going around the world to the left?

You took the words right out of my mouth jblum. I think they leave the blinker on so they won't forget to signal the next time they take a left!

Somebody call batman?

And I always thought it was mostly New Jersey drivers..go figure. I attribute that to pure laziness on the driver, and probably the same people who leave the shopping carts in the parking lot - way too far to walk it back to the sidewalk or cart corrals.

Never heard this one before but I like it. A friend of mine pet peeve is the non-use of turn signals. Hard to explain exactly ,but it was mentioned to me by a race car driver to observe if their wheels are moving in your direction especially on a highway to determine if they are trying to come into your lane.
It find it hard to trust the turn signal and or driver in certain situations.

Pays to drive defensively as a driver thought nothing of testing my brakes this morning as he pulled out in front of me when I was only a few feet away He flipped me the bird like I was doing something wrong. Go figure.

Turn signals? You mean they have them here? WOW what a revelation but to save energy nobody uses them?.....

You see if they signal their intent then the other guy will turn in front to get ahead of him and be first in line at Cody's.......

I have seen several people here turn and then signal in lieu of the required 100 feet notice before turning.Hmmmmmmmmm. In this case better late than never does not apply

:bigbow:

How do you expect people to signal when they've got one hand on the wheel and one hand on the cell phone ? :)

SIGNAL ?? What a novel idea !

Guilty as Charged
 

Not only do I not use my working signals but I cant understand why other people dont...But I do admit to both. Do I get any points for that??

Slightly off topic
 

I agree with the observations in this post and would like to add my own observations on some different, but slightly similar occurrences.

A couple days ago in the POA bulletin there was a Q & A about joggers and the golf cart lanes vs. sidewalks. The Answer was that joggers are encouraged and expected to use the available sidewalks, rather than the street/golf cart lanes.

The very next day, while driving my cart in the cart lane, I had to come to a complete stop on two separate occasions (due to cars coming up behind me) because of joggers hogging the cart lane when there WAS a sidewalk right beside them.

While I'm in "complaint mode", last Sunday my hubby and I were out for a nice little ride down Buena Vista on his motorcycle to check out the progress on Brownwood. There were two bicyclists, on a leisurely ride, riding 2 abreast (side-by-side with plenty of space between them) in the car lane. They had to see or hear us coming up behind them, but would they move to single file....NO!

Much as I love living in TV and would never live anywhere else, we do have quite a few "entitled" people who seem to think they OWN the roadways.

OH! And then there are those on golf carts who come flying out of the tunnels, without LOOKING to the left or STOPPING, and immediately turning right onto the main cart path. Can't tell you how many near misses I've had in those instances.

PHEW! Sorry for the rant! I've been saving this frustration up for a while, can you tell?? LOL!:ohdear:

Atta girl, Deb - let it all out!!! :icon_wink:

Bill :)

Debzaranti,

They are not cart lanes. I believe the proper name is multi-modal or multi-use lanes meaning they are for everyones use (bicycles, walkers, runners and carts). Please share.

"entitled" is a new word for this old dog. Morons seems appropriate to me.
