ever gotten a ticket for failure to use turn signal. Well i just did. I wish there was a way that we could legally beat the [censored] out of cops. Why do they have to pick on young people, the group who are the least able to afford the fines and the penalties given from having point on thir liscenses

I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I'd like to hear more of the details. Sometimes not using a signal is quite forgiveable, other times it can be rude or even downright dangerous.
contours, deloreans & fiats, oh my!

heres my turn signal policy: driving around in residential 25mph plan full of stop signs, dont use them (formed this habit when my last car the signal didnt automatically shut itself off and i quit using it because of that)
main roads, when turning off, pulling out, and any driving with other cars around, i do use turn signals

How much effort does it really take to use a turn signal??? I mean, come on...  And they're not "picking on you". They're enforcing the law. What if your failure to use a turn signal caused the person behind you to smack into your car??? You'd probably want to beat the crap out of them, too. Use that little stalk on the left side of the column. Flip it up if you want to make a right turn, flip it down if you want to make a left. 100-150 feet or so before you get to your intersection or to the point where you wanna change directions. This is like in the first 20 minutes of driver's ed, man.

Fyi i was pulling out of an office complex onto a large road with a median in the middle, so i had only one option. I didnt use the signal because i was waiting for traffic to clear for several minutes and it started to annoy me. It was pretty obvious the cop was picking on me because i was a kid in a decked out car. It pisses me off how you all are so quick to jump on me for this when you have no idea what the circumstances are, try to be a little more mature if you are at all capable of it.
