Yeah, people make hand signals to me all the time. :-)

If the guy behind me has his high beams on, I put on my left blinker. It doesn’t get the lights dimmed but it pisses off the A-hole.

In any case, it’s always best to take them by surprise...

A much more insidious device is the one that inexplicably forces a driver to pull to the edge of a single lane to turn right or left as opposed to riding down the middle of the lane. Got the side of my truck reamed by a dopehead in a Saab once that way.

You had to put your arm out the window and make hand signals.

I have to restrain myself from doing that. It is quite difficult the way a lot of people drive now.

What are you talking about? I have a 2009 Hyundai Elantra and have not noticed anything on the steering column. Be more specific - do all cars have them or when did this start or are you just talking about our turn indicator?

“You had to put your arm out the window and make hand signals.”

We still do that here in New York:

I had a friend who used to tell me every time I failed to signal, that using directional signals “DO NOT AFFECT YOU FUEL ECONOMY!”

Its bad enough when the guy behind you has his high beams on, but its worse when its a guy coming down towards you in the opposite lane.

So many do not know. The truth is out there.

A blonde was driving down the road in a convertible when she turned on her right turn signal.

She then asked her passenger to lean out and tell her if the turn signal was on. The passenger, also a blonde, leaned out the window and said,

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

........

I live only a few hundred yards from an intersection and can see the highway leading up to it from my usual chair.

Some time ago, I started watching when cop cars come by. I probably see several a day and I have yet to see one use his turn signals.

There is a certain city here in Norway where after driving there all day, you will get external handsigns made to you all the hundred miles on the way home.

Mostly fists.

Even worse when the other car is coming toward you in your lane.
