When I started the process of getting my driver's license, and consequently learning to drive, I thought that signaling with the turn signal on a car or motorcycle was nonsense. In my mind, it seemed unnecessary. Over time and with practice on the road, I realized how much of a difference this simple gesture makes. Turn signals help other drivers make safer decisions when changing lanes, turning, or performing similar maneuvers.
Today, I get very annoyed when someone suddenly changes lanes without even signaling their intention. This not only shows a lack of road manners, but also puts everyone's safety at risk. Nowadays, using my turn signal has become an automatic habit for me, something I do naturally, out of respect for others and for safety.
You explained very well! At first glance, it looks like using a turn signal is worthless for the person who drives, but it is very important for everyone involved... We are safer when we use it, and others are aware of our future actions! We don't have a crystal ball that we can guess where someone will go... 😂
Now that you have described your learning curve, I can guess that those who don't use blinkers are stuck in the moment of learning to drive, as they didn't progress further than that moment...
