Why pick on us? I always do if there's anyone around to see them. Like
a lot of cars, I can press lightly on the lever for lane changes and it
will blink 3-5 times depending on the setting I choose.
Hilarious, at least to wife and I, BMW turn signal episode. Coming back
from Santa Cruz one day, BMW in center lane on highway 17 signals to go
left and does a sweep to the right to the off ramp. A couple of lanes
crossed. At least he used a turn signal. Now if he learns right from
left.
I would rather deal with people who never use turn signals than those
who never turn them off.
Motorcyclists have a signal for that. Most auto drivers think it means 'you talk too much'. Lots of
truck drivers understand it, or at least will look around to see what the problem is and eventually
shut off the signal.

Although the 'Turn Signal On' signal is shown off to the side, it's used over the head also.
