Around here (Dallas area), using the turn signal is the equivalent of treason, because you would be letting the enemy know what your next move will be, which is unacceptable. Lane switching without turn signals is the norm.

i flew with my kid when he was 11 months old. he was cute for a few hours. when he started to get cranky, i gave him benadryl.
good night, sweet little boy!
One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

That surprises me, because I always remembered NY as being less shitheaded than Texas. My memory must be a little faulty.
I took their little sample test (it only took about 15 clicks to finally get to it), and scored 95%. Anyone else try it?

Same here. I only missed this one (I said, Be prepared to stop - which I still think is right; the question is rather vague).
8. When you approach a traffic signal displaying a steady yellow light, you must: A. Go through the intersection before it turns red
B. Stop if it is safe to do so
C. Be prepared to stop
D. Slow down and proceed with caution

you lot should try driving through Glasgow on a Friday night Scottish cars are made without indicators
ditto to everything everyone has said so far
People who drive erratically- slowing down, speeding up - for no apparent reason !!
People who do not indicate on roundabouts
A pet peeve of mine- parents who bring me their extremely badly behaved kid and ask me to 'fix him'- after all they had the damn kid for fifteen years- what do they expect me to do in a few hours??!!!

Oh fucking hell. It starts at Halloween. I've been going nuts on my commute with all the radio stations playing 100% Christmas music, and then I get in the car today, and it's still going on!

Grr... Inchers. People who pull up to a red light, stop, then continue to move forward a few inches at a time, until they are two car-lengths ahead of where they originally stopped.

Two juggernauts side by side on cruise control. One is 2mph faster on an incline, the other 2mph faster on the flat, so they remain side by side forever.
thank goodness he's on our side

Yes, and don't forget the "Cruise Control Pass", where the SUV takes an average of fourteen minutes to pass the other guy, traveling at approximately .00012 mph faster.

Holding up three blocks of traffic because you want to turn left on a really busy street is the sure sign of a cunts, as is coming to an almost complete stop before making a right turn
You can always turn tricks for a few extra bucks. If looks are an issue, there's the glory hole option, but don't expect more than ... tips.
