    My partner rarely uses her blinkers, and she wonders why people honk at her. Not BMW driver, but pretty much any car lol

      I don’t understand how that’s possible. Like, driving school has ingrained the turn signal reflex into my arm so well that I sometimes even feel weird not using a turn signal when making a hard turn on a road without crossings. And changing lanes without a turn signal literally can’t be done, my brain feels. Don’t driving schools in the US do that?

        Driving schools in the US don’t do anything except lick their finger and put it under your nose to see if you’re breathing. And they only do that half the time.

      Where I live using turn signals gives inconsistent results people don’t usually use them and its usually fine, I offer forget and is usually fine. But a lot of times, using my turn signal makes no difference. They like to ignore it or purposively get in your way
