The turn signal, in my oppinion, can be ommitted while performing routine lane changes. But I still prefer the 'single click' method, where you quickly tap the signal on and off, so as to perform the lane change quicker.
Slightly unrelated, but so what: My favorite thing to do, especially when other people are in the vehicle, is to turn left at a red light onto a one way street. Half of the people will freak out when you do this "Dude! That light was red!" Because they forget that yes it is legal to turn left on red onto a one way street. |

http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/hdbk/pgs25thru29.htm Left turn against a red light on a one-way street only. Signal and stop for a red traffic light at the limit line or corner. You may turn left into a left-moving one-way street if there is no sign to prohibit the turn. Yield to pedestrians, bicyclists or other vehicles moving on their green light. Indiana: http://www.aips-indiana.com/wb05.asp LEFT TURN AGAINST A RED LIGHT ON A ONE-WAY STREET ONLY. Make a full stop for a red traffic light at the limit line, if there is one, or before entering the intersection. On a one-way street, you may turn left into a one-way street where traffic moves left if there is no sign which prohibits the left turn. If the light is red, be very careful that you do not interfere with pedestrians, bicyclists, or vehicles moving on their green light. |

I made it a point to poo before a shower if I feel a prairrie dog crawling towards the light. It is so nice to have a clean butthole, or something of that nature.
I hate getting paid every other week, I hate it, and I hate bills. But I hate the other week paying thing more, well... |

You hate getting paid every other week more than you hate bills? I don't hate almost anything more than bills.

Tell me about it. I'm maybe the least responsible person on this forum.

Rant of the day:
Today I saw a public service ad which read something like this: "Feeling a little light on your gas budget? Take a look at your fuel cap, an estimated 147 million gallons of gasolene are wasted each year in the United States due to loose or missing fuel caps." Now, there are many things which frustrate me about this ad. First of all is the fact that many people who see it will become alarmed and will go on mini-crusades to ensure that gas caps all over the nation will be shut tight. But these rare examples are not alone. Many more will not try to influence others, but will put a premium on a tight gas cap. Some will go to the extreme of buying a new gas cap, if the one on their vehicle isn't air tight. Second of all are the people who will do absolutely nothing about it (I am in this catagory.) For us, public money was spent and we recieve no benefits of this money. Many people aren't going to see this ad, and few if any who do see it are going to act upon it. To them, it represents wasted money and precious television advertisement time. OK, you say, but what of the 147 million gallons of gasolene? Certainly a single advertising campain is worth it on the aggregate. Not when you crunch the numbers. There are over 220 million registered vehicles in the United States, meaning on average, each vehicle is losing .668 gallons of gasolene per year. This turns out to be .012846 gallons per week, or approximately 2.9 cents per week (based on $2.25/gallon). Did we really air an advertising campain that will save a distinct minority 2.9 cents per week? Oh yes, we did. Those who act on it, will probably spend more money on prevention (new gas caps, increased time ensuring a gas cap is excruciatingly tight, etc); these people will experience more costs than benefits. Strangely enough, the same is true for those majority why don't act on this advertisement. Whether you didn't see the ad in the first place, or glossed over it as "another one of those public service ads," you will not alter your behavior in any way whatsoever. Public service advertisement money was wasted on you. It appears to be a lose-lose scenerio, but then again, so are most public service advertisements. The real issue is that somebody believed they were doing something good, and will sleep good at night. Let's put our money to something more productive than saving a few gallons (I would bet everything I own that this ad cost more than all social benefits combined). How about we spend this money puting on advertising campains about how we should support international trade and how foreign products won't hurt us. Oh yeah, that would be unpopular. |
