Using your turn signals is not difficult...

What is it with drivers today? Are they too lazy or inconsiderate to use their turn signals to make the drivers around them aware of their intentions to change direction? Are they too busy texting or talking on the cell phone to move the level on the left side of the steering column?

Part of safe driving is letting the other drivers around you predict what you will do. Using your turn signals is not difficult, and it's generally required by law whenever you make a turn or change lanes. Providing a signal to turn to other drivers, both in front of you and behind you, is to communicate to them, your intentions to change lane or directions. Communications is an effective tool to help prevent most accidents from happening.
