When did turn signals become a thing in DC? Must be all the new
comers. ;-)

The lack of turn signal use and the running of red lights are the 'in' thing around here now.

Red lights?

Stop lights that have turned red. And I don't mean cheating on the yellow light. They just barrel
through the red light.

LOL. My mind went to them running some kind of lights *on* their cars.

Heh. Running red/stop lights isn't a thing just around there.

Having a green light is never a carte blanche invitation to enter an
intersection. I always look both ways. It used to be mostly old
geezers who were oblivious to the world. Now it is also youngsters,
screwing with their phone or a dash board toy.
I also almost got T boned by a fire truck once that was running about
50 without his siren. He blew that air horn after I was already in the
intersection. (on a green light)
When I called the fire house with a WTF the chief told me they only
used their sirens/horns when they saw a conflict because of complaints
from the neighbors.

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.



Our friend said next car she gets is going to be a Mercedes. They always
have the right of way. ;

I don't understand the fascination with Mercs. My wife went through a couple of them as company cars in a previous job, and I wasn't impressed with either of them. In Europe they are used as taxis.

I thought Ford discontinued the Merc. line.

In Germany, it is the dream of most Germans to own a Mercedes. This was told to me by several
Germans. When they can afford it, that's what they get. The taxi drivers use them because people
would rather ride in a Mercedes than a Volkswagon.
