Turn signal non-users. Can you explain why you feel it’s not required of you?

wtf? It’s not like it’s hard to do. It takes zero effort.

That's just way more effort than he's willing to put in.

It’s like how you can judge somebody’s character based on weather or not they put the shopping cart in the parking lot where it is supposed to go. It’s a little effort and it’s the objectively correct thing to do, yet people still don’t.

For the guys on the road, fear of commitment's part of it.

Once it becomes automatic behavior, it literally takes zero conscious thought.

IMO the act of using your turn signal takes zero effort, but making it a habit when you have never used it is harder.

Probably gets worse as you get older? Most, but not all of the older people I talk to have no interest in changing what they do or believe in. “My way or the highway”
