Using directionals is a law. Not a suggestion. It tells other people around you what you're doing and it prevents accidents.
The law says, signal when you're turning. It doesn't say signal when you're turning if there's someone else around.
I go shopping a lot in Bend...I have to because prices are good up there. But I hate the freeway. Little college girls barely looking over the steering wheel, driving along at 75 mph in a 55-zone, their signals flashing for mile after mile after mile, while a stained mattress flaps in the wind, tied onto the top of their cars.
...or the balding 40-something year old guy wearing a football jersey and driving a souped-up pickup truck. Darting in and out of lanes like a mad teen, never once touching his directionals.
It's the law. 55. Use your directionals. I get some flack out where I live because I even signal when I'm turning into my own driveway out in the middle of nowhere.
It's not an option.
