Blinkers

Today I will be giving a short lesson about your Blinkers "turn signals".

When to use it and How to use it.


For those of you who don't know what a blinker is, it is what a person, who drives a car, uses to signal a turn; also known as your "turn signal." It is usually located on the left side of your steering wheel and can be described as a protruding stick that goes up and down. Take a minute and play with this protruding stick... If you push the stick up it will activate your right turn signal, if you push it down it will activate your left turn signal.

Now, I know some of you may be wondering, "Who doesn't know that?" But apparently in the United States people have forgotten what these lights mean. To begin, we should be grateful that we have access to such high tech stuff (sarcasm). People in China have to ride their bikes and where these glowing Jackets or use hand gestures, while Americans drive these Chinese made cars and forget that there is a reason that stick is protruding out the side of your steering wheel and NO, its not happy to see you!


Now that you understand what your blinker is and how to use it let us continue on to when to use it. Below I have put together a list of scenarios that are appropriate for blinker usage.

1: Making a Right or Left turn at at stop sign or red light.

2. Making a Right or Left turn at a green light.

3. When switching lanes in traffic.

4. When switching lanes and no one is around.

5. When cutting Me off for a parking spot.

6. When parking.

7. When turning into or out of an In and Out Burger or any other fast food chains.

8. When getting onto the expressway and off the expressway.

9. When getting pulled over by law enforcement.

10. Most importantly during your driving exam.




I hope that this lesson has given you an insight on Blinkers turn signals. NOW FUCKING USE IT!
