to signal your intention to turn at an upcoming road or change lanes
to indicate that ‘you are’ turning now
to lose your tail by indicting left and going right
absolutely nothing
none of the above

Among the many irritating demented driving habits (or lack thereof) the locals proudly demonstrate each and every time I drive, their use of the turn signal (blinker or flasher for some) is of the most perplexing behavior patterns have ever seen. It’s almost as if they think a cruise missile is on their tail and that a last minute evasive maneuver will save them from certain death…or is it the humiliation of knowing where you want to go and thus indicating to others that you have a plan?..or is it understood here that a turn signal is used to indicate that you are in the process of turning at that moment in case no one else had figured that out?..whatever it is, there seems to be a great mystery in this land of ace drivers.
People in Taiwan don’t use it because they think it’s broken and works only partly … works … doesn’t work … works … doesn’t work … works … doesn’t work … works … doesn’t work … works … doesn’t work … :roflmao:
Why would the Taiwanese even use the blinker? The blinker is to inform other drivers behind them as to what they are doing next. As we all know, the Taiwanese drivers only focus on themselves and what is in front of them. So the blinker is a useless in Taiwan. I do love it though, when that random driver uses it. They must have lived overseas sometime in their lives.
The right blinker is to let other drivers know that I’m about to turn right so you’d better hurry up and pass me on the right. The left blinker is to remind me to turn left, or something like that. It has no bearing on other drivers. At least that’s how I think it works here. Am I doing it right?
There is nothing that I hate more than when I come up to an intersection and there is no dedicated turning lane and the cars that are waiting ahead of me don’t have their turn signals on (to either turn left or right), and when the light turns green they finally decide to use the signal…so, each and every car that waited behind the said ‘cunt face’ has to merge into the other lane to proceed ahead… :fume:
You are supposed to follow the white line like a scalextric car so if this happens you nudge around the turning car and if not can nip behind the car and speed past the other stupid people who use road manners and order

I’ve resorted to this type of approach for a few intersections where I know this will happen everytime…
Is the blinkers we are talking about is still orange color or does the blue, white, green colors also count? Not the ones on the side of trucks but actually on car turn signals that are pimped out.
