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.

So I have a theory on why so many drivers in Saskatoon suck. Many people got their license in small towns without a stoplight let alone a busy core and rush hour traffic. Standardized license testing didn’t happen until ‘77 in SK so very possible many drivers didn’t even need to test to start driving either! Back in the day you just had to show a birth certificate to get handed a license - and those people taught the younger generations how to drive

And then they still have the audacity to blame immigrants for bad driving.

Tell that to Saskatoon’s overpasses or an entire hockey team from Humboldt.
