OK - read and then tell me why you dont use turn signals: From the NJ Drivers Manual: DRIVING SIGNALS A motorist should always give a proper signal when turning, changing lanes, stopping or slowing down. Most vehicles have turn signals and a motorist should always use them. A motorist should turn on the turn signal at least 100 feet before turning and be sure to cancel the signal after making a turn. Not doing so could mislead other motorists. (N.J.S.A. 39:4-126) New Jersey law requires a motorist to know the correct hand signals for stopping and turning, which are standard in all states. To give a hand signal, a motorist should put his/her arm well out of the vehicle so that it is visible to other motorists. • Stop or slowing down: hand and arm downward, palm facing to the rear • Right turn: hand and arm upward • Left turn: hand and arm straight out Another signal is the horn, which is a warning signal. It calls attention to what the motorist is doing. Motorists may sound the horn when passing another vehicle when not in a business or residential zone. Under normal conditions, the horn should be able to be heard for at least 200 feet. (N.J.S.A. 39:3-69) Only emergency vehicles may use sirens, whistles or bells. Across the US something like over 54% of the people do not use turn signals but in NJ I think it is more like 75-80% of the drivers dont use turn signals. It is frustrating to drive without knowing what everyone is going to do. Read the rules and follow them!
