Okay - I've always had an issue with the fact that most drivers in NC have no clue how or when to use their turn signals. Most of them probably don't even know they exist!! Let me rant for a minute....
It's called a "signal" for a reason. You are to use it to signal your intent to others around you. ALL OTHERS (pedestrians included)- not just other vehicles. Vehicles don't come equipped with them "just 'cause"!!! The fact that they must work in order to pass your state vehicle inspection should tell you that YOU HAVE TO USE THEM!!!!! It simply allows for all traffic to flow more smoothly. SAFETY, people, SAFETY!!!!
So, this morning - like most mornings, I'm behind yet another signal-less driver. This Mo-Mo is also one of those the-painted-lines-on-the-road-weren't-put-there-for-me types of drivers. So he's weaving in and out of traffic, which actually turns out to be useless for him because at the next light I end up behind him again. I look at the bumper sticker he has up at the top of his rear window and it reads "U.S. ARMY - SIGNAL CORPS".
My question is - do you think they kicked him out of the army because he couldn't signal worth a damn? Or maybe he's depleted of signal making ability since he did it so much in the army?
Whatever the reason, I still daydreamed of him getting pulled over. And then I had another one of him losing control of his mid-sized SUV and hurtling over a cliff. Ahhhhhhh - much better now.
