I use it literally everywhere out of habit, I got made fun of for using it when pulling out of my moms driveway once lol
The only reason I won’t possibly use it is when I’m in a turn only lane at a red light and don’t want to listen to it for 3 minutes
Most people I find only use it 75% of the time at best.
I’m 2.5 years into driving and am curious if it’s just what semi-new drivers do or if I’m the odd one out.
Usually I use them, but not if I’m the only car on the road, and not in my city’s roundabouts.
The roundabouts are abnormally small, so using a blinker to exit is confusing for everyone because I’d be signalling to turn for the exit I need, but the roundabout is so small that the wrong cars will think I’m exiting before them and pull out in front of me. When really, I’d be signalling for the exit immediately after them while trying to provide time for that exit’s car to see my intentions.
Also people in this city don’t understand roundabouts. I see people enter the wrong way semi-regularly, stop in the middle of the roundabout to let people in, use a left blinker to enter a roundabout that only goes around to the left, and treat every empty roundabout as a 4-way stop. Its pretty frustrating sometimes.
Sorry, we were talking about blinkers and, in some roundabout way, I got off topic lol
