Please, PLEASE signal!!! Not only for pedestrians' sakes, but for other drivers, too. People don't like to wait to make a right turn waiting for you to pass and then find out you're slowing down to turn at the last minute. Not cool, especially at 5 before the hour. It's not like signaling will make you have to wait longer; if anything, it'll keep you out of an accident, particularly in road conditions like this.

P.S. No flaming on this topic, K?

EDIT: And when I say signal, I mean signal at an appropriate time. That doesn't mean five blocks before your intended turn or especially at that point where you're already turning before you hit the blinker.

Whenever a car in front of me doesn't signal, I get belligerent and slam on my horn. If they happen to look back I flip them the bird. The strain is unbearable, but I do it harder than ever before.

Yeah, it irks me too. The guy in the pickup truck ahead of me didn't care for me yelling "use your fucking turnsignal" while in my subdivision. He stopped, got out of his car, walked over to me, and I sped off like the cowardly (but still alive) pussy that I am.

Seriously, do some of these people realize what that little lever with the arrows is for?

Concur, I absolutely HATE it when people on a two-lane highway don't. I will admit that every now and again I may forget, but it always sounds weird when I finish a corner without that 'click' of the turn signal going off. There's a reason the damn things are there, and its not just for common courtesy (though that is part of it).

I'm the same way. I've been driving out in the country, where I am the only car for miles and it just feels weird not to use the blinker. Although I am guilty of turning it on too late sometimes. I really just need the click at the end of the turn that you were talking about.

I've been known to use it when it is kinda obvious, like the hairpin 90deg turns in the countryside that force you to slow down like you are turning onto a new street. Its kinda weird.
