I also rarely have my signal on when I'm sitting in a dedicated turn lane. The ticking makes me absolutely crazy (I also won't own a single clock/watch that ticks). My car was worse before whatever it is that makes the signal thing imploded and they put a new one in, but it's still really, really annoying. If I'm in a turn ONLY lane, I see no reason what so ever to listen to the infernal ticking. If it's a turn also then of course.
We still have a lot of very dark roads here, even close to the city, so everyone is pretty good about dimming their brights. My issue isn't with that but with these new headlights that blind the hell out of me even on low beams. I was waiting at a median to turn left across traffic onto a side road and there was another car on the side road waiting to turn left into the road I was coming from (does that make any sense? I'll draw a pic later if desired.) Anyway, I had to flash my lights and get him to come out in front of me (there was room), even though I technically had turn priority because I could NOT see the road beside him as his lights were so damn bright. This has only been an issue for me within the past year or two when suddenly headlights seem a hell of a lot brighter. I don't know if it's the new HIDs that bother me or if everyone's suddenly a schmuck with aftermarket lights, but it's awful. They're so bright you can't even divert your eyes or anything. I've had to reduce my speed 20mph or more (from a previously safe, legal speed) sometimes. [/rant]
