Watching this video should be a requirement prior to purchasing any dodge truck.

Which manufacturers make vehicles that won't change lanes until the signal light starts its third blink? The work on the time-earl device to bring people back two seconds so that they're actually signaling before they make their intended move. The 'hey I'm moving right now' signal is not so much of a warning as the 'I'm about to move in two seconds' signal. Some people are so chintzy with their signal lights you'd think they must get charged by the flash

In Calgary you don't signal because you don't want to tip off the other drivers, who will actively prevent you from changing lanes if they know in advance.

North Americans would benefit from spending a bit of time driving in Great Britain. Totally different mindset. I found driving there to be a joy.

That's funny. My wife says "just signal and they'll let you in." Ha!

People forget it's not a race - and we're probably not going to the same place anyway.

Along with the citizens too but hard to do when you got your phone in your hand...driving gets in the way of texting etc

Or a third world country...where the streets are flowing with literally everything.
Haven't got time to screw around with the phone might get broadsided by a guy walking his pig to market!
