When changing lanes on the freeway, do you not use your turn signals?

I hate it when people "merging" on the highway stick together, by riding each others ass, in groups of 2 or 3+. They think everybody will move out of the way.

Half the traffic problems in major metropolitan areas could be solved with cooperation from the masses.

I signal everywhere I go ESPECIALLY on the freeway. Better to look like a dork signalling into your own driveway then a wreck on the side of the road being scraped of the asphalt.

I use my signals just about every time. I hate it when you're at a light and the person in the turning lane goes straight while trying to cut you off, I just go faster and make it less of a convenience to them.

i always do. unless the freeway is completely empty and i know no one is around. then i'll signal about half the time h: but i always look before changing.... i probably look 3-4 times cuz i get paranoid that i missed them the first few times h:

people are ridiculous these days. they'll cut me off and go slow, so ill go around them and in front, then theyll start honking and high beaming me and yelling at me for driving recklessly. lol. i usually just fuck around with them until they back off or they speed by cussing their head off... but every once in awhile, some jackass who think theyre tough shit will continue to try and fuck with me... thats when i flick a cigarette at their windshield and then pull out my tire iron from under my seat h:

Oh I gotta add something here...

It pisses me off even more when people stop at the end of an on ramp instead of learning to merge!! Extremely common in PA, traffic actually backs up around the entire entrance ramp!
