Yesterday, Hannah, a radio listener of ours from Princeton, Indiana, sent this message through our station app. She asked, “Can you help my husband and I solve a debate?! Should you use your turn signal in a turn only lane???”
Naturally, My co-host Mary-Katherine Maddox and I said, “Yes!” We can help settle the debate (we love a lighthearted domestic squabble) and to do it we contacted the experts.
Now, before I dive into this, I have to confess my own traffic sins. I don’t always use a turn signal when I am switching lanes. If there are other vehicles around, I absolutely do. But, I am pretty sure there are plenty times when I just skip right on over into another lane without signaling anyone about my intentions to do so. Been there. Done it. I am apparently a misdemeanor on wheels…
