ay, I am on kind of a roll with this blogging about cars deal. This is a simple issue-more like a request. I am a person who walks, drives, and rides places a lot. I have to deal with cars a lot, usually stupid cars at that. Driving like they are the only ones of the roads. That is dealt with in yesterdays blog though. This is solely about one problem that I feel we all face. Drivers that do not use their blinkers. You know how annoying it is. Sitting and waiting for a car to pass so you can go and then they turn right and you could have went the entire time. Gunning through an intersection on our sweet bikes because you have the friendly "Walk" light, the car at the intersection seems like it is going straight, and the hill you're going down is sweet but then that dormant car suddenly guns it right almost taking us out. It is really unsafe. Turn signals are put on cars to warn surrounding motorists and pedestrians of what their planned maneuvers are. They were invented for that purpose and they serve it well. So, pretty please for the sake of safety, push the lever up or down according to your desired destination.
I am not putting blame on people but more of a friendly reminder to use your blinker. It's not hard to forget or get distracted. Tons of traffic, a phone call, etc etc. So yeah, just look out for everyone else.
And if you are not using your blinker cause you are lazy: Paul will "try" to "stop" and will "accidentally" run his bike into your car and try to cause as much damage as possible to either himself or you. Who are the police/insurance agents going to believe had the right-a-way, a bi-cyclist or a motorist? So watch yourself.
PS: Paul is serious.
