      I’ve driven in places where putting on a blinker would cause the cars next to you to speed up and close the gaps. If you wanted to get over, you couldn’t let anyone know until it was too late for them to stop you.

        I knew someone who didn’t use a blinker and this was their justification, and I’m like my guy you’re in Seattle now; people will drive dangerously in order to let you merge when they really shouldn’t!

          Now that I have an EV, those situations are just amusing. Joe redneck puts the hammer down, you hear a big rackets as things rattle and bang until the vehicle starts going a little faster …… then when I’m tired of watching the show I zoom forward with ease in effortless quiet

        If someone actually signals and eases into my lane I’m so surprised by their careful driving that I want to give them a little clap
