To (almost) everything, there is a season
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’ve got to vent about a traffic problem I encountered yesterday.
It has to do with people’s inability to use their blinkers when they have to turn left or right. Tell me if this has happened to you.
I was at the Fayetteville Post Office and trying to pull out of the parking lot on to Georgia Ave. Specifically, I was at the entrance closest to Jeff Davis Drive. Another car directly across the street was also trying to turn on to Georgia.
Problem was, she didn’t have her indicator on so I had no idea if she wanted to turn left, right or drive directly across the street into the post office parking lot.
Finally, once traffic cleared, I let her make her right turn and then watched as she headed to a stop sign. Once again, she didn’t use her blinker. I was so irritated.
I was always taught a blinker is as important as the brakes. You’ve got to communicate with other drivers and blinkers are an important tool in the driving communication process.
So, here’s the question. Why don’t more people in Fayetteville or for that matter, all of Atlanta, use their turn signals more often?
