Indicators do you use them or not?

brilliant - cant believe these drivers who confess to not indicating!!

I spent nearly 8 years as a field agent where much of my time was spent doing surveillances and tail-offs.

I had to learn *not* to indicate wherever possible and it took a fair while to un-learn that behaviour.

Indicating should be a habit and not a choice to my mind, along with starting to indicate at an appropriate time and using the right car "body language" in preparing for the manoeuver.

On the receiving side, I don't readily accept that someone will move where their indicating unless I've seen them actually start indicating and slowing for the turn. I've seen too many people blindly leave their indicators flashing for miles on end.

I'd much rather slightly annoy the person behind me through being prudent than blindly accepting an indicator and pulling out into the path of a car that has no intention of slowing. The kind of person who leaves their indicator on isn't likely to be all that observant of their surroundings.

I agree - so many people seem reluctant to use indicators

I cant agree more !!

I always use them, for fear of others not seeing my intentions and hitting my car

forgot to say..... this is my main pet hate, along with tailgating !

I refer back to Post 4. Had a few changes since then, but can once again say I drive a BMW, what are indicators?!

I too use them all the time to tell others, especially the ones I haven't seen, what my intentions are.

Because you are firing off more argumentative, confrontational, scratchy posts than usual.

Ha ha...Nope, there just seem to be more "things" to comment on, than normal.

The chancer on the train thread was done to death 15 pages and 4 days ago, this new guy is spamming so he can sell some car parts.
