I’m not talking about not using signal, but instead referring to drivers who turn off the signal so quickly.

Example when changing lane: Flick Signal on - Lane change - Signal off, literally 2 seconds and the car is not even moving fast to change lane.

Another example for when making a turn: 0.5 second to do Signal On - Turn - Signal off…

I swear on both of my nuts that these drivers arent even looking at the mirrors (any mirrors) or looking over their shoulders.

If you happen to do this, no offense but why? Is it to show the cops you did signal? Or there exists a signalphobia , i.e. the tick tock sound can annoy passengers?/

    You should NEVER stop blinking before the turning maneuver is finished.

    We’re talking about two different things here. Lane change indication usually runs for 3 blinks. That’s standard on most all vehicles. Turn signal stays on until the wheel resets it when returning to origin.

    As a driver, your primary responsibility is focus on the things in front of you. If you can’t do that, you shouldn’t be behind the wheel. Likewise, if you can’t see signals other cars are making, you probably shouldn’t be behind the wheel.
