I know it's April Fools Day, but I actually think you were serious with your previous post. I'm proud to tell you that I would fail an Advanced driving course.
You say what is the point of indicating if there is no other driver behind to appreciate your intent. So, according to you, you will not indicate until you've checked your mirrors. That sounds fine, why not just signal anyway? If you have to make a decision every time, is it a case of - 'Do I signal'? - 'Do I not signal'?, why not just do it? Indicate every time, because occasionally you will forget, unless you're the perfect driver.
If you are going to turn left say, do you check your mirror and if no one is behind you, you'll just turn left without a signal. But what about that pedestrian wanting to cross the road just beyond the junction? Because you didn't indicate, he's left there waiting unnecessarily for your vehicle to pass.
At least you have partly explained to me why I have to put up everyday with drivers who just won't use their indicators.
By the way, I can use my indicators using just one finger - is it a more complex system on other cars?
