I’m not talking about not using signal, but instead referring to drivers who turn off the signal so quickly.

Example when changing lane: Flick Signal on - Lane change - Signal off, literally 2 seconds and the car is not even moving fast to change lane.

Another example for when making a turn: 0.5 second to do Signal On - Turn - Signal off…

I swear on both of my nuts that these drivers arent even looking at the mirrors (any mirrors) or looking over their shoulders.

If you happen to do this, no offense but why? Is it to show the cops you did signal? Or there exists a signalphobia , i.e. the tick tock sound can annoy passengers?/

    I have one thing to add, some vehicles you are not able to adjust the quick turn signal settings to allow more blinks before turning off. My mini Cooper does allow me which is a 2012, but my mom’s 2025 Highlander I am unable or have not found a way to change it from 2 blinks to 4-5 blinks.

    It’s stupid and I hate it. No I am not covering for asshole drivers cause there are a lot since COVID happen. Like people forgot how to be fuckin civil in all grounds of civilization in the US.

      I have a 2nd gen Ford Fusion and was able to reprogram it via computer and software. 3 by default, now 4. Could do 1-7 IIRC

        Now that right there is ridiculous if I have to go that route on a new car. JFK they just make cars worse every generation.

          You could just use the blinker the way they worked for the 50 years prior and lock it on and click it off?
