Cars have given people the great ability to travel much quicker then we used to be able to and have made traveling more comfortable. They have many safety features that serve as "communication" as well such as the turn signal. It drives me crazy when people don't use it because it is so simple and easy. I have seen this happen many times and a lot to myself. You are following someone down a road such as foothill, which has a fairly high speed limit, and you are not tailgating this person but they start to slow down so you start to catchup and all of the sudden without any warning i.e. no turn signal they turn onto another road you have to step on the breaks quickly to avoid a crash. This always makes me think "Gee you could have given me a little warning before you did that."

This is not that only time I'm bothered. I am also bothered when people basically do exactly what is in the picture above. Some one is driving down the freeway in their car and there is quite a bit of traffic and the car in front is just over a car length a head. The car in the lane next to you is diagonally in front of you just over a car length as well. (like the picture) You may think to yourself that you are close enough no one is going to get in however there is that one person that very dangerously threads the needle not only that but you never saw it coming because they didn't use their blinker. The reason this bothers me as much as it does is because it can be very unsafe not you use a blinker and it can cause accidents and frankly I do not want to be in an accident due to someone not using a turn signal.
