Not just in Rockford

For many drivers, you might just as well remove the turn signals from their car because they never use them. You aren’t bothered if you are a mind-reader but otherwise isn’t it irritating to be waiting to turn across a line of traffic when there’s been an opening in the traffic. You wait because it’s the right thing to do and then at the last second you realize the other driver simply didn’t use their turn signal and you could have gone? I’ve started doing it too and it seems I remember receiving a ticket for not using my turn signal when changing lanes. I’ll be trying better to remember so that I don’t annoy you!

    I get so frustrated with drivers who don’t use turn signals. It’s not a hard task: put hand on thing, push up to to right, push down to turn left. It even shuts itself off when you’re done turning!
