Hey all! This weekend I'm going to be registering with the state to put up a table with big posters, hand out brochures, signs, and information about USING YOUR TURN SIGNALS.
The problem is, I have the motivation, but not the facts. I've been google searching but so far I haven't found sh*t on turn signal related accidents, deaths, etc. I'm sure some of you ALSO love people who use turn signals, and despise the lazy f*cks who refuse to use them, so help me out here, I need as much turn signal information as possible! If you don't want to do the searching, but know where to look, let me know! The signs I'm producing will be able to sit between the console and your drivers seat, and you just hold it up to the offending ignorant and stupid 'non signalling' driver to tell them that you're SICK of just doing nothing, you're going to start CHANGING our roadways!

I wish I could help you out on this, one way or another. But all I can do is give you my support. It is a worthy cause and I hope you have some success. Few things irk me more than people not signalling. It's the same attitude as them sticking their finger in the air at everyone. I'd better stop now, before I go off. Good luck Rob.

The horn is your friend. Use your brights to show your disapproval as well.

Oh ya, I got stuck behind a couple of them tonight. How about a sign that says, You see that lever on the left side of your steering wheel? It's your turn signal switch, it lets other people know what the F#$% you are doing. SO USE IT YOU "F"ING AHOLE That should be good.

when i delivered pizza my first year of college, i had a CB with a PA output and a Radio Shack horn speaker mounted in my grille. i always had to go down this main road where bicyclists were everywhere, held up traffic, and were a general pain in the ass.
i used to turn on the PA and yell "HEY YOU A*****E!!!! GET OFF THE F*****G ROAD BEFORE I RUN YOUR A** OVER!!!!" it worked well, and scared the living crap outta these snobby ****s who thought they owned the road in their ritzy neighborhood.
worked good for people who didn't use turn signals, too. :D

i usually tailgate and rev up to ppl that dont signal. then i cut them off while signaling.
i'm going to protest the protestors. rallying up all the people who love to drive without turning their blinkers on to run through the streets of atlanta without the use of their blinkers!!!! come to hooters and we'll cruise the town while not using blinkers!!!
mimics triumph the dog 'you are here.....for me to poop on' :D

Rob what about for your sign : -
BLINK ! YOU BLINKING BASTARD
Make them double sided with one side in reverse to display when you are behind the bastards.
My devalued 2 cent contribution. :confused: :D :)
so how'd the protest go rob? just curious. i personally don't care if people come into my lane with or without blinkers because i'm always under the assumption that people on the road are poor drivers. nothing will ever change that, but i am interested on how the whole thing went.

I didn't get enough data to do it. I need more information on turn signals, accidents, etc. Once I get enough I'm going to do it.

Me too, which is why I constructed a sign that says "PLEASE USE YOUR TURN SIGNALS" in my car.
SubiePartsGirl: It's the law to use signals. Apparently, nobody knows this anymore. I've been almost hit more times than I care to even imagine, and last Jan, some lady DID drive right into my precious SVX.... it could have possibly been avoided if she had used her turn signals. I'm sick to death of lazy people. Too lazy to flip a lever next to the steering wheel? You're too lazy to be on the road then.

Truthfully, there are alot of people on the road today that could use a driving school refresher...
Hey Rob, In support of your "UES YOUR TURN SIGNAL" campaign, I will leave my turn signal on,either right or left, while driving the SVX this weekend. I often do this anyway, causing my wife to make some endearing remark like "hey brain dead, turn off your turn signal." But this time I will be able to tell her its all for Rob. Take care and happy signaling. BOBB
:p funny bob...real funny.......do left for 5 minutes, right for 5 minutes, and hazards for 2 minutes :D.....
or you could be like some and turn on the blinker exactly opposite. right blinker for left turns and left blinkers for right turns. and every so often do a little swerving and weaving in your lane :D. people will stay clear of your car and you won't have to worry about blinkers :D. i know that's what truck drivers do :D.....

in preparation for this weekends turn signal festivities, i left my turn signal on for about a half mile after making a turn. it was just a slight right - not enough to cancel the turn signal, and i had my radio up so i didn't hear the clicking of the relay. i felt like a real dumbass when i realized how long it was on. :rolleyes:
maybe i need the old man style 'loud relay'. :p

This was caused by someone who did not use signals. Pretty, isn't it?

I do this all the time.
The SVX dash light is dim, and the clicking relay is practically inaudible.
Totally and absolutely inaudible at the sound levels I play the CD.
If the steering wheel is a little off centre, then the indicator will not cancel on one side or the other.
I would be in favour of a relay sound that got quite loud if you left it on for say more than 40 blinks. Any technicians out there care to develop one for the aurally challenged??;)

Thanks Alan
That's a start. Now all we need is a timer that would switch from the standard relay to the loud bugger after say 20, 30 or 40 consequetive blinks, as required.
Sorted!:D
