I hate when you are behind someone in a long line and have been sitting there for a while and just as the light turns green  they put on their directional.  That makes me want to scream.

I always use mine, and hardly see anyone use theirs anymore. I'm not sure if its just the people in my area or not but I could count the number of blinkers I see a week on my hands >:(

Due you use your blinker on your vechile or do you just wing it.  I always try to use my blinker so the person behind me knows what is happening so they can go around or slow up/ whatever they need to do.  Oh and one more remark most people could save alot of money if they would tell manufacturer's to leave off the blinker systems due to them never using them.  I think they are just lazy people who don't use them.    :thumbsup:   :thumbsup:   :wave:
BLINKERS ARE DUMB IN A WAY. YOU CANT EVEN SEE THEM IN THE SUN
Where are you where you aren't able to see the blinker in the sun? Other then the sun itself.

Any who! Absolutely always use my blinker. Even when I know when no one is behind me. Someone can turn into my lane without me knowing. It's so easy to do anyway. It's not a labor intensive chore. If it takes just a flick of the wrist to ensure your own safety, why wouldn't anyone do it?

I do always try to use my blinkers, for both safety and courtesy for my fellow drivers.

I always use my turn signal. And it isn't always for those behind me... Usually it is the people in the opposite direction or on a cross street that need to know where you are going. I hate sitting at a green light trying to make a left-hand turn and have a bunch of cars coming in the opposite direction with no turn signal on, only to find out that none are drive straight through the light. If any of those cars had their turn signal on, I would've known that it was safe for me to make my turn as well. Even if the people are in a turn-lane they should use their signals; they may know they're in a turn lane, but cars in the other direction may not be familiar with the intersection layout and don't realize that all of the cars in a certain lane are turning.

I know its a pet peeve of my dad's as well. When I was first learning how to drive, that was one of the things he would always tell me about. Unfortunately I think his pet peeve has gone bad in the other end of the spectrum. In an effort to ensure he is always signaling well in advance, he tends to turn his signal on too early... Sometimes he turns it on a good block or more before he actually turns. I think premature signaling can be just as dangerous; the people may think you just forgot your turn signal and may try to pass you just as you try to make the turn.
