The Turn Signal Is Your Friend

Sci-fi, comics, humor, photos…it's all fair game.

Given that most of us think we are above-average drivers, you’d think people wouldn’t expect other drivers to be telepathic.

Turn signals prevent other drivers from hitting you! (Or at least reduce the chances of it.)

I am amazed time and time again as I see people driving shiny new Mercedes, Lexuses (Lexi?), and BMWs dodging in and out of traffic without signalling, trusting those below-average other drivers to have above-average reflexes and precognitive abilities.

I think the BMW at least comes with an on-board telepath for anticipating the other driver’s maneuvers. How else would it be the ultimate driving experience?

Until you can get the on-board telepath safety feature, you should probably wrap pontoons around your car. Or spikes.

Either way, you’re bound to attract attention form those “superior” drivers.
