Most people I see in BMW's use their blinkers... is this true on this forum?

Thank you.

I always use my blinker.

I'd like to run people off the road, pull them out of their cars and choke them when they don't use the blinker, or especially when they are talking on a cell phone!

I came up on this lady trying to navigate a two lane turn at an intersection...

She had a cell phone in one hand, up to her ear, and a Big Mac in the other, chomping away, and could barely keep it together to keep her Explorer in her own damn lane. Once we straightened after the turn, I made it a point to pace along side her and stare her down.

What a wench. I'm sure that the ladies on this board are not like that, but unfortunately, my experience out on the road is that the ladies here should sure go and teach the other ladies how to drive. 9/10 of the time, it's some broad pissing me off.

Yea I use it all the time...second nature. I was just wondering if every one on this board uses their blinker. So far I have not gotten a "never".
I am vry glad that everyone uses their blinker. Cause if there is something that pisses me off the most then it's people not using their blinkers.
