Why are SO many drivers TOO lazy to use their signals?
Vehicles come with a safety device called a "turn signal & lane change indicator". Why are people too lazy to use them??? They can save lives when properly used!!

We have a saying in Tennessee. "If you see a car with Tennessee plates and the turn signal is on rest assured it was on when he bought the car"

I totally agree with you as I commute to Encino so I feel your pain.
What I noticed is when I signal like you should people will speed up and not let you in. So I think people have stopped using them for that reason.
I put my signal on but I do it at the last minute and I sure don't feel comfortable or safe doing that. But if I don't in traffic I can never get over unless I force my way in and that Isn't safe either.

Turn signals drain the battery. They also accelerate wear on the turn signal bulbs.
Most importantly: unsignalled turning adds a degree of spontaneity, making the driving process lively and refreshing.

I don't know, because some people in this world might not think about such things as saving other people lives.
They are really to f'in lazy. They think that you should know what you're thinking. They think you should move over for them. As if they owned the road.

it's annoying really, but I think of them all they are visitors with a bad copilot aside. If they're not visitors then they are stupid, because you can get a ticket for not using'em. They think are cool and the only one on the road!
Source(s): my friend's not using it! but never got a ticket for it but just for speed. He drives with speed and no lane change signal at all. imagine that! - personLv 52 decades ago

it happens in the UK too, i tend to wait till they reach a red light, get their attention, they role down their window and i say " did you know your indicator light has broken"!! they look at you as if to say "but i haven't used it"? - 5 seconds later they get what you mean. try it!

Because they have no manners. If more people on the road used manners, there would be less accidents ( and definitely less road rage).

They think that they are pros at driving and that they are too good for correct car saftey
