Turn Signals

"Didn't you know, that model doesn't come with turn signals..." That's what my mom tells me every time I complain about someone that fails to utilize their turn signals, and it does not make me feel any better because I know that every car comes with turn signals...

 In case you had never noticed, there is a lever located to the left of the steering wheel. If you push it down, it turns on these wonderful flashing lights to the left on both the front and rear of the vehicle. And conveniently, if you push it up, it turns on the flashing lights to the right.

Wow! What a novel concept... I wonder what these flashing lights could be good for... They couldn't possibly be used to alert other drivers what your intentions are...

 In all seriousness though, I simply cannot understand why people don't use their turn signals. It's a hazard to everyone on the road. Plus, adults complain all day long about teen drivers, but they forget that they are the ones setting the example for us. How can anyone possibly expect teens to become good drivers when all that we see are examples of unsafe driving?

Down to go left, Up to go right. It can't possibly be any simpler than that.
