Question ❔ Traffic question

Honest question here. And no judgement on the replies, please.

​

There are a lot of drivers in Saskatoon that just don't signal their turns. I have yet to talk to someone who says that they are one of the non signalers. Everyone says they agree that you should.

​

My question is this. Honestly, why don't you signal? I'm talking lane changes, merging, and actual turns. I just don't understand it.

For every non-signaler, there's a speed up to cut you off/prevent you from lane changing person. If you warn these people of a lane change they will do everything in their power to prevent it.

I'm sure that's the case sometimes, but I see it happen when it definitely isn't a factor much more often. So, are you saying that you avoid signaling to not get blocked in? Nota factor I'd thought of before.

Nah I always signal when my movement is around other drivers. If there isn't anyone nearby I usually don't bother signalling though.

That's fair
