To be perfectly fair about it, of course, this seems the be a regional problem where I live, other peculiarities reigning elsewhere. For instance, when I lived in southeast Wisconsin, stop signs weren't as much of an issue, but other drivers absolutely loved turning from a side street without waiting for anything resembling a sane gap in the traffic they were joining.
Regional problem - Great Lakes - Drivers within 100 miles of a Great Lake seem to consider turn signals a challenge requiring them to go out of their way to prevent a driver from making the turn indicated, whether it's slowing down or speeding up. It just goes too far past coincidence to be an accident....To be perfectly fair about it, of course, this seems the be a regional problem where I live, other peculiarities reigning elsewhere.

Different here, when you move into the county, you have to stop at the weigh station/rest stop while they connect the turn signal to your brake lights.Regional problem - Great Lakes - Drivers within 100 miles of a Great Lake seem to consider turn signals a challenge requiring them to go out of their way to prevent a driver from making the turn indicated, whether it's slowing down or speeding up.

I did want to point out that the PSl stands for Posted Speed LIMIT, not Posted Speed MINIMUM, though you wouldn't know it by most drivers. I sometimes drive slower than the posted limit, so I'm the culprit. But I'm not usually the one that you find off the side of the road because the conditions were not optimal for the PSL.You forgot the part that they take their sweet time getting up to the PSL as well...
Well, that turn signal by the left hand is just too far to reach...
Well, when it takes you to go from 0-45 in a day and a half when traffic is coming at you at 45+, you might want to at least get up to the PSL...I did want to point out that the PSl stands for Posted Speed LIMIT, not Posted Speed MINIMUM, though you wouldn't know it by most drivers.

0 - 45 in thirty seconds is plenty fast. Faster is just a waste of energy. I get a kick out of passing the cars at a stop light that passed me just so they could slam on the brakes and wait for the stop light to change. It's a waste of energy to accelerate quickly and more waste to decelerate quickly.Well, when it takes you to go from 0-45 in a day and a half when traffic is coming at you at 45+, you might want to at least get up to the PSL...
I nearly lost it the time I saw a golf cart puttering down the shoulder along I-43 just south of Milwaukee, for an extreme form.You forgot the part that they take their sweet time getting up to the PSL as well...
What, lunging out decisively? Might have been, especially if it was in my black Civic- that thing's first gear had an inordinate amount of torque, especially for a small-engined automatic.Ah, HA! So that WAS you!
