   : It really has got to the point that if I am turning into a major road   
   : and an approaching car is signalling to turn into the road I am in, I   
   : dare not go until it has slowed right down because I cannot tell   
   : whether the driver a) has had the thing signalling for the last 20km,   
   : b) is really going to turn the other way, c) has accidentally knocked   
   : the switch or d) is being deliberately stupid.   
      
   e) is a fault in the system making the lights blink without user   
      interaction or knowledge.   
      
   f) and this is the rare one, is actually turning the way their   
      indicator lights says.  :-O   
      
   Of course, while you're waiting at least semi-sensibly, the impatient and   
   ignorant idiot behind you starts blasting on their horn ... or worse, goes   
   around you.  :-\   
      
   Then there's the fools who don't know what indicators are, and simply turn   
   or change lanes with no signalling at all.   
      
      
      
   Once when I slowed down to let a bus further up the road pull out of the   
   bus stop into the traffic, the impatient moron behind me zoomed around me   
   blasting his horn, and very nearly got squashed by the bus ... and was   
   then waiting directly in front of me at the next set of red traffic   
   lights, so the moron gained just one car length.   :-\
