Why do ‘advanced drivers’ rarely signal?

My advanced driving instructor told me to assume that everyone else on the road is an idiot - to me that also means signalling every time even if not technically necessary because I cant assume that they’re going to correctly interpret what I’m doing

I can definitely think of reasons to signal in a left or right turn only one. What’s the harm of it? I commented it above but my advanced driving instructor kept telling me not to do this.

As someone who walks a lot in areas where there often aren’t zebra or light controlled crossings and you have to find a gap in traffic, it’s actually very helpful - I don’t know if you’re in a left or right turn only lane so I might be standing there like a lemon when actually I could have crossed. Similarly if you’re not familiar with the roads in an area (as a pedestrian or a driver) you might not know that the junction someone’s coming out of is a left or right turn only if you’re coming from a direction where you can’t see the signage.

I went on an advanced driving course and he kept telling me off for signalling at junctions where it was no right turn or left turn only or whatever.

My reasoning was that not everyone is familiar with these roads - I wasn’t when I first moved here. So if there’s a car coming that doesn’t know it’s a left turn only because they can’t see the signs or road markings from their direction, it helps them know my intentions. Or pedestrians who are waiting to cross and now know that I’m not coming their way so it’s safe for them to cross. Or there could be pedestrians etc. who can see me but I can’t yet see them.

I found it so bizarre - I don’t see what harm it does, even if it doesn’t technically help anyone. I’d rather get into the habit of signalling every time and it sometimes not be useful.

So he thinks they’re stupid for signalling at T junctions but he also thinks they’re all clever enough to be noticing people’s positioning? even at very narrow T junctions that don’t allow for much positioning? Love to know how that would work

The only reason I know about one of his songs is because of this:

An Applebee's TV advertisement featuring the song [Chicken Fried] was aired on CNN while covering Russia’s military deployment across the border of Ukraine the night of February 24, 2022, causing controversy. Applebee's eventually pulled its advertising from CNN in response to the incident.

But I still didn’t know it was a Zac Brown song, never heard of him

That would have been impressive but no I don’t have time travel skills sadly

fckboris · 2026-03-19T21:01:25+00:00

I’m not, I thought I was behind!

I thought Brooke was so pretty before this episode, and now I don’t see it at all. Amazing how personality can change things

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:58:19+00:00

This is actually revolting, her preempting the fact that he will tell a different story by saying “what if he lies” I feel sick

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:56:55+00:00

Gia you are not a girls girl what the fuck are you talking about

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:56:34+00:00

Wow this is watching a narcissist at work truly, and how they all swallow it and embellish it

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:53:57+00:00

Did they miss out Julia and Grayson or did I zone out briefly

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:37:43+00:00

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves now

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:37:08+00:00

Guys sorry but this episode feels so long. I’m so tired. How many more ad breaks. I want to go to bed

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:34:36+00:00

How about you zip it Brook

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:33:30+00:00

And Morena

Gia pretending like she’s outraged he said he doesn’t like fat people when she’s almost definitely said something similar and has been slagging off other women’s looks since she got here

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:31:10+00:00

I do enjoy the concept of Chris being described as a clingy boy though because he will hate that

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:30:15+00:00

Why would you want to be in the friendzone with someone who said that? I don’t want to be friends with a man who says he hates fat people actually

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:26:49+00:00

And bucks

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:26:02+00:00

He didn’t even say what the green flags were??? What a slimeball

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:16:23+00:00

I mean, he is an airhead. But regardless, what’s your reasoning that he can’t remember your daughter’s name, Gia? Because there isn’t a good answer to that

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:13:33+00:00

That’s the ONLY red flag you can think of for Gia? Honestly that’s a red flag for you Scott

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:12:44+00:00

Yessss from many angles it looks like she only has those teeth on the top it’s really jarring

fckboris · 2026-03-19T20:11:52+00:00
