My mate did his advanced driving course through work and the guy told him "Don't signal unless there's someone to signal to, although bear in mind that pedestrians count!" I think his theory was that it's just something which takes your hand away from the "10 to 2" position. This guy trains police aswell lol!

Well as we all know, that little badge on the front of your car somehow determines how good a driver you are.

I was gonna come out with some witty comment about seeing as you got a ford badge etc etc, but wont as when I was driving a beemer E30 shape the ego of the badge does make everyone else on the road infront of you look like something you scrape off the bottom of your shoe....

Its down to the individual at the end of the day, and the majority live and die by the badge.....

The theory is also that you think about every action you take and don't leave anything to habit. If there is anyone that would benefit from a signal, then you make a conscious decision to give them one. Just about being more aware of your surroundings.

I'm not saying that signalling as a habit is a bad thing, because it isn't, I'm just explaining the Advanced Driving theory.

It annoyed me when I took my test that they would tell me not to indicate if there was no one around. What is the point of that?? Surely you should indicate EVERY time so you get into the habit, it was if it was a bad thing to indicate if there roads were clear - how very annoying!!

The Indicators are there to warn other road users/pedestrians of your intentions,nobody around then no need to use your indicators.
If you get used to driving like that it becomes second nature.

Old git's are the worst offenders for not indicating.Maybe they were taught not to indicate if there was no one else around and now they are so old and there eyesight is so poor the can't actually see if there is anyone else on the road at all!
