Safety on the Road: Turn Signal

I found an article from Cracked.com that looked at driving tips. It has what they called “6 little known tips” that saved lives. I figured it was worth spending time this month looking at these 6 and what other ones I thought needed to be added.

Use your turn signal. I am amazed at the number of people who apparently don’t have working signals. They will change lanes, make turns, or even park without any notice whatsoever. It is probably a sign of being distracted. I have always found that the turn signal is another part of you paying attention and lets others know what you are doing.

Beyond my usual trio of seatbelts, no drinking/texting and driving, and slow down, my hope is that these tips will teach my readers in the same way it has taught me. Most of all, I hope it helps make the roads safer.
