  • That doesn’t seem like a great idea to me. You’re signaling to let other drivers know you’re intending to do something so they can be ready to react if needed. You could miss a car in your blindspot even after checking and only signaling right before you start changing lanes wouldn’t give that car much warning.

    Obviously signaling doesn’t magically give you the right of way to merge, but IMO it’s better to let others know you’re doing something as soon as possible


  • A lot of US cars use the same physical light for turn signals and brake signals, but I’m saying noticing the car in front of you is slowing down because the brake lights are on can be a more reliable way to know someone is about to turn because no one uses turn signals properly
