Nice Blinker @$#%!
May 1st 2007 23:25
If a day goes by where I don’t say to myself, “Nice blinker @$#%!”, I am amazed! And I only drive for a total of 15 minutes a day! What I can’t figure out is even though we all take a similar test to receive a driver’s license, and every one of them teaches us how to use a blinker, then why do the majority of drivers never use them? Is it that much of a hassle? The last time I checked, blinkers were not on the options list next to the power windows and navigation system when purchasing a car. We all have them. Why not use them?
I was sitting at a stop light last week watching cars in the right-hand turn lane next to me. Only one out of the ten cars I saw used their blinker. Of those who didn’t was a police officer, which gave me a chuckle. I mean, if the cops don’t use theirs, why should anyone else?
I’ve even tried to go a day without using mine. Maybe it gives people a rush to not signal other drivers. My experiment lasted about two minutes until I was thinking, “The other drivers don’t even know what I’m doing!” So needless to say I haven’t figured out the reasoning for not taking one second to flip the lever to let everyone else on the road know your intentions.
Maybe I’m just being too critical. Maybe it’s just the area I’m in. Is anyone else annoyed by this? I’d love to hear if the rest of you are in the same boat as me.
