HELLOOOOOOOO!?!?!?!? Are we having such an epidemic of stupid that we need to have a special report on how to use turn signals???

The focus of driving seems to no longer be on driving itself. The growing trend of juggling many activities while driving leads drivers to neglect their blinkers, police said. With fewer officers, police however, have not been able to make stopping this action a priority, authorities said. Their focus remains on aggressive and reckless driving.

Guarantee more accidents are caused by someone failing to use their turn signals than people driving 60 mph on the left lane on I-95 in a 55mph zone. :rolleyes:
 
I think i read once that blinkers arent even neccesary in north carolina?

Not so young wise one.

Per NC regs:
19A NCAC 03D .0537 DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS
G.S. 20-125.1​
1. All vehicles subject to the annual safety inspection, must be equipped​
with turn signals. This does not apply to motorcycles.
However, there is an exception...
Note: G.S. 20-183.2(a1) If a vehicle is 35 model years or older,
no safety inspection is required. This note is applicable to all​
Inspection Procedures for Safety Equipment.

So grasshopper, you are both right and wrong, but unless you have an antique, you'd better have turn signals.

MY Ag teacher my junior year was hard of hearing. Once, he didnt notice, but we started counting the amount of time till he'd turn them off. Usually it was whenever the LOUD dinger dainged that he'd realize they were on.
 
I can't use my blinkers. My car ran low on blinker fluid and the stores don't sell my brand.
Actually, what I love are those who move over in front of you and halfway thru give their signal. Kinda late there doncha think.
But, I never depend on the nuts around me to signal anyway. I guess living in Raleigh where no one uses their signal does that.
 
For most people, its too much trouble to put their cell phone down so they can turn on the turn signal...

something, that in conjuction with at least 1 headlight, 1 tailight, and one mirror which has an unobstructed reflection to 300 feet behind the vehicle, makes a vehicle be considered safe enough for driving.

Most people don't know what those other 3 are either.

Funny thing about my side view driver mirror. Last winter the darn thing cracked, exactly in half. I was going to get it fixed but then I noticed that I now had the best of both worlds. The inside part concaves, while the outside convexes. So now I don't have a blind spot at all. Once I got used to a slightly distorted view where the 2 pieces meet it was an improvement to only having 1 view.
