Seen that on Twatter Stig.  I suspect the dead hand of Photoshop in that one  ::)

PS:  A quick Google search tells me Boston Mass?

Love the message, however it's pronounced.  Could use it here.  Even police often don't signal turns.
Drives me nuts, it couldn't be easier to do.  All it takes is an extended pinky, don't have to take hand off the steering wheel.

More than once I've seen two cars at stalemate facing each other in an intersection, each waiting for the other to turn left while neither has their blinkah on.  When you're on two wheels, the lack of signaling is extra dangerous and exasperating.

That happened to me yesterday.  I had my left blinker on but the person coming the other way didn't.  I finally figured out he was also turning left and I went.  I don't normally flip people off but I was real tempted this time.

Left turner and the idiot

A few yrs ago I witnessed this:
Young man at light in L turn lane, facing 3 lanes. The straight lane and L turn lanes filled with cars..
curb lane appears empty. (know where this is going?)
Light turns green, our guy doesn't wait and juices it into L turn in front of  oncoming traffic.....

Meanwhile.....a distant p-up in that curb lane across the way....sees cross traffic slowing to a stop and knows his light is about to go green.
He gooses it .....

Split second after light goes green his truck removes the nose of Turning Man's Ford Mustang in the intersection.

No severe injuries.
I stayed to witness to the police.

I stopped flipping people off a few years ago and replaced middle finger w thumbs down.
When drivers don't signal I give an animated signal w my hand, hoping they'll get the idea.
Even w a phone in hand it's easy to turn the blinkah on, regardless of what hand the phone is in.
