Sure. It’s not hurting anyone, and especially on a roundabout it can be very helpful to other drivers.
Use every tool at your disposal to signal your intentions and awareness of the situation on the road.
I use it any time I’m turning. Remember, it’s for the people in front of you as well as the people behind you, and at night, it can sometimes be hard to tell if the oncoming lane is a turn-only lane.
Yes, of course. Every time the car changes direction. Don’t be lazy
Yes, because I’m not a bad driver.
I got the idea to post this after seeing 3 cars in one day not use their turn signals in a turn lane. I always use mine, for all of the very good reasons people have been replying with.
Yes, of course I do. I usually signal even when I’m totally alone on the road.
Yes.
Mainly because I don’t want to reinforce a habit where I turn and don’t signal.
always use your turn signal ANY TIME you are changing from one lane to another, merging, or MIND BLOWING INFO: turning at an intersection.
also turn it on with ample time to indicate YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE A TURN, YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKING ASSSHOLE PLOWING DOWN THE ROAD IN A MULTIPLE TON MUDERBOX COMPLETLEY IGNORING ANYONE ELSE IN EXISTENCE.
I don’t use mine because I’m too preoccupied with my tinder matches to even realize that I’m turning. I coast through(literally) life imagining myself the hero of my unsung story and everyone else is the villain.
why can’t these self-centered assholes understand that I’m the good guy?!
uh-oh, I’m getting pulled over again for texting this while driving. another corrupt cop oppressing me!

I don’t drive, but as a pedestrian:
USE YOUR GODDAMN TURN SIGNAL
Yes, it’s what you’re taught to do anyway.
If there’s a hint of ambiguity about the layout of the road or my intentions, I signal. It can me 3 am and I’m the only person on the road. It’s right the thing to do.
no hint required. if the vehicle is turning, it should be signaled. its not a decision that needs to be made but a required action that must be taken.
So signaling in each curve of the road? /s
I think people missed the /s
Anyways I’ve signaled before on curves of the road because muscle memory said, oh we’re Turing the wheel time to signal. I don’t do it much but it’s funny when it happens
But in regards to driving as a whole, you are a video game tutorial boss, everything you do is so telegraphed, even your windups have a tell they’re happening
It’s habit at that point. Good.
At the end of the day there is no reason not to. Not like it takes any effort or costs anything.
That being said, I usually won’t the closer I am to home/on my main commute. Why? Because I’m driving next to the same people every day. The same work truck with a giant butterfly on it and that one dumb ass looking cyber truck. Along with the other 100 other commuters the same day.
…so what? How is that relevant to anything?
Just because you’re in a turn only lane doesn’t mean other drivers know you’re in a turn only lane.
The turn signal is for them, not for you.
