Is it a Surrey thing?

I am a professional driver (40k+ miles a year) and it seems that Surrey women drivers think the indicator stalk is not for indicating they about to turn, but for hanging their handbag on. Is this common or just a Surrey thing?

    i drive about 2500 miles a week and i find 75% of all cars only get indicators fitted as a optional extra and do not have any use for mirrors other than leaning your hand on whilst posing with the window open,

    i drive a maximum weight truck or 18 wheeler if you like,grosses out at 44 ton is 56 ft long 15 ft tall 9ft wide can cruise at 60mph 75 downhill, yet is invisible to most car drivers,who despite the fact buy what we carry,dont want us

    It's not just a Surrey thing, it happens everywhere. I used to think that indicators were an expensive optional extra on BMWs as it was so rare to see a BMW driver using them.

    It's because Surrey women drivers all have large SUVs, BMWs or Mercs that are FAR to big for them and probably can't reach the indicator stick.

    It's not their fault!

    Most Surrey women have their Porsches, Mercs and BMWs bought for them by their husbands but they like to parade around in them as if they are important. When it comes to knowing what button does what on the car, they haven't got the brain cells to understand.

    Most drivers appear to think that the indicator helps the car go round the corner, so they don't switch it on until they're half way round. The exception is BMW drivers who have found that their cars can corner quite successfully without using the indicators at all.

    No, it's not a Surrey thing, it's just a cr*p driver thing.

    Try Bath where the more 'mature' driver tends to pedal the car everywhere at 3mph and get mixed up between accelerate and brake!
