What about parallel parking or just readjusting while parking in general?

Just throw on the hazard lights. Double turn signals, do whatever you want.

You don't use a turn signal when parallel parking?

[–] SourDrink 4 points 7 months ago

I do use the blinkers to show that I'm backing in, but I would still have to turn the wheel to reposition.

My blinkers would go right, then left, then right again, and maybe left once more if I'm parking facing towards the top of a hill.

What about roads that curve? A signal could be misleading in such a situation.

[–] Dozzi92 5 points 7 months ago

I've 100% turned on my blinker for a curve in the road, and I feel like a fucking idiot when I do it. So fortunately I've seen other people do it and I know there's at least a couple of us out there. The worst part is it's been the same curve multiple times. There's nowhere else to go either, the road just bends right, but sometimes I just hit the old blinkety-blink.

Slight disagreement:

This will give assholes who thinks a turn signal gives them the right of way more ammo to be jackasses in traffic.

What about just needing to steer along a windy road?
