What is so #*%^#*$&#*&$*^#%$#^ hard about using a #^#^@&^##&#&#& blinker?!?! It's a pretty easy concept...push down to go left, push up to go right. It comes in handy for not only the person behind you, but EVERYONE at the 4 way! How nice it would be to know that the person in front of you is about to turn...after slamming on the breaks...MINUS a blinker. There are commercials about speeding...what about the one about the blinker? :)

It's the stick on the left side of the steering column...for those who haven't found it yet. I will give free blinker using lessons to those in need...

The blinker even makes a pretty flashing light for everyone around you to see...

You failed to mention the very annoying noise that it makes for all those inside the vehicle to hear...lol

I use my blinker and also get highly aggravated with those that don't.

That's simple...you can avoid breaking one law (isn't using the blinker a law)...by breaking another...turn your music up! :smt118

Orange is such a dull color, only good at Halloween. Don't you think they could have some better colors..........maybe pink blinkers??

Merging...this requires a blinker too...just because you're changing lanes doesn't mean the car your about to slam into knows this too. If I had ESP...I would have used my powers to let you know coming anywhere near me is dangerous enough! :)

MOVE B*TCH GET OUT THE WAY, GET OUT THE WAY...good song! :)

We can send my sainted little mama to give blinker lessons. She likes to turn hers on waaayyy before she needs to turn. And one of them is stuck, and she can't hear the little noise, and . . . you get the picture. ;)

I have found the blinker to be nothing but entertainment from way back... When me and my older brother were just little kids we had an older man in the neighborhood that would turn the wrong blinker on. Right to go let let to go right... From then on we would look for him and would make our mother follow him while he made his turns... He was a pretty cool man... I asked him why and he said it always confused him which way he should put it... Todays standards he would have been too old to drive...
Dreamie you are just wishing your car could turn into the evil machine and wipe this people out... Deep breaths... Maybe you should take yoga whenever that fitness center opens up... If it opens up...

I think I'll just get some signs and string them up in the back window. It's too hard to try to move that handle with my phone and mascera wand in that hand and my magnifying mirror and tweezers in the other.

People behind you ought to be able to figure out which way you are turning just by seeing which way you are looking... Sheesh this isn't rocket propulsion for goodness sakes...

Yeah we were pretty stupid... We had those blooming two a day practices for football and the creek was calling us to come and cool off... We only wore our underwear in case someone drove up... Then when we realized coach would know we were swimming we did what we had to do... We were just supposed to hang around the field house and cool it... Hmmph...
