Use indicators
HAVING been driving and walking to different places throughout this city, there is one thing I cannot fail to notice.
It is something every driver needs to do now and then.
How I am going to explain it, is like this; You have both hands on the wheel and whatever vehicle you drive, you will find a device adjacent to your steering wheel that you can click either up or down.
This device switches on what we call indicators, flashing amber lights that let other road users know which way you are going to turn.

It is a very simple task to do and it is not very heavy.
I cannot fathom out why certain motorists cannot lift or lower this device whilst driving.
Obviously there are very fit, strong drivers who could try this.
They cannot be that weak.
Do these drivers fear that they might crash if they operate this device?
In my eyes as a driver and as a pedestrian, I see failure in others to operate this device as careless driving.

“Interesting story....travelling back from Tavistock a few years ago, a driver on a death-wish was overtaking on corners, cutting up other drivers, forcing drivers into avasive action...I contacted the police and gave them his reg.....need two witnesses, well i go to the foot of my stairs.”

“There are some seriously dangerous people on the road, Oh to have a roaving policeman who specialises in traffic violations.Mobile phones, doing make-up etc etc we've all seen it. I ,personaly am fed up with having to "cover for them" by being more alert than they are.”

“as a driver myself this really annoys me when people dont indicate i never trust some that do because a few years ago a friend of mine was at a junction waiting to turn left a car coming down the hill was indicating to turn left into the road my friend wanted to exit so he exited the road but the other car carried straight down the hill and bang into my friends car all because the other car did not cancel the indicator after his last manouver”

“Lets face it, it isn't the manufacture of the chosen driven car, it's the idiot behind the wheel.
I have been saying for too long now...Are indicators an optional extra or something?”

“Yeah, and the vast majority of these ignorant cretins are the 'drivers', of German made cars, especially the morons who drive BMWs, they're either gay hairdressers, or drug dealers!”
