“Horns and hazard warning lights are well-used (and often-used) pieces of the vehicle’s equipment. They certainly have applicability in the USA to a greater extent than they currently are employed. IMHO, of course”

Here in the US hardly anyone uses their turn signals when making turns much less when changing lanes.
I can remember when failure to signal a lane change would get you a ticket and a stern lecture from the ticketing officer.
Now the COPS don’t even use that forgotten piece of mandatory equipment.

...and, stop signs are just a suggestion.

I watch deputy sheriffs and highway patrol go by on the street and 90% of them are talking on their cellphone.
