Lane Excuses For Motorists

I found a list of excuses that people use for not using their turn signal when changing lanes. I felt compelled to add my own comments

Top excuses given in poll of 1,000 U.S. drivers for not using turn signals.

42% Don’t have enough time

- How long does it actually take to flick the signal on/off?

23% Just plain lazy

This I can relate to. I’m just too lazy and bored driving to be bothered with using the turn signal.

17% Will forget to turn it off

These people have very short attention spans.

12% Change lanes too frequently to bother

Apparently 12% of drivers are lane weavers or race car drivers.

11% It’s not important

Huh?

8% Other drivers don’t do it

“…so I jumped off the bridge right after my friends.”

7% Adds excitement to driving

Driving on the Long Island Expressway you can appreciate this one.
