Yup, it’s frustrating, but tell me, how many times have you signalled a lane change(they called it begging way back when I took drivers ed) and have the person that was reasonably back race up to block you? People do it all the time, they especially did it to my buddy and I when we were in the company’s box truck.
Yes. . .and the DC area is especially bad about this.
A second or so when I start my lane change, I turn on the turn signal. Don’t turn it on too early because people WILL race up to cut you off.
With a turn signal on, if a collision happens, anything from just a ‘tap’ to a full blown wreck, I can legitimately say I had my turn signal on and the idiot ran into me (and the turn signal light would back me up because if it was on then the filament would be burnt-out thereby proving my innocence and the other guys recklessness.
We noticed that! what aholes out here.
