  | Pet peeve The 57 percent of American drivers who say they don't use their turn signals for changing lanes have a variety of excuses. In a survey commissioned by Response Insurance, these were the reasons given: 42 percent said they don't have time. 23 percent said they are too lazy. 17 percent said they don't because they forget to turn it off. 12 percent said they change lanes to frequently to bother. 11 percent said it's not important. 8 percent said they don't because others don't. 7 percent said not doing it adds to excitement. The survey also found 62 percent of men leave the turn signal alone when changing lanes; the number was 53 percent for women. Seventy-one percent of drivers ages 18-24 don't signal, but 51 percent of those 55 to 64 do.

| Re: Pet peeve My problem is and it is partly because I do not drive real slow is when you are passing people or at a major interesection cruising along and then all the sudden slamming on the breaks because somebody decides to turn with no warning
