Use of indicators
Posted: Sun Nov 28, 2021 11:18 am
As things are quiet on here a present
MSM. always? After quite a bit of discussion on a run out recently, the usual "only indicate if someone would benefit" mantra was put forward.
OK, can of worms open lets see what happens....
I tend to indicate in all situations, parked vehicles excepted. On occasion I have found myself checking the mirror AFTER indicating!!
The reasoning behind always indicating, I mainly drive a van in busy congested areas.
I know which way I wish to go so indicate early.
I may have missed someone who would have benefitted, blind spots, poor observation etc.
I can now concentrate on the hazard without the distraction of shall I shan't I indicate.
Yes I know red rag time "automatic indicating"!!
One point of view put forward recently was perhaps we should always look for reasons TOO indicate rather than NOT.
Looking forward to your inputs.
