I use it literally everywhere out of habit, I got made fun of for using it when pulling out of my moms driveway once lol

The only reason I won’t possibly use it is when I’m in a turn only lane at a red light and don’t want to listen to it for 3 minutes

Most people I find only use it 75% of the time at best.
I’m 2.5 years into driving and am curious if it’s just what semi-new drivers do or if I’m the odd one out.

    Pulling out of the driveway does sound pretty excessive to me.

    If you turn on the right turn signal but you’re going in reverse is it pointed in the direction the ass of your car is going, or the direction you’re going to be facing? There’s no non confusing way to use them in reverse, and your reverse lights are enough of a sign that you’re probably gonna get in the way.

      It should signal the direction the car is going to move. If the car’s moving ass-first, then it should tell which way the ass is going. Helpfully, this is the same direction you have to turn the steering wheel, so your muscle memory will do just fine. It will tell the small child you can’t see which leg will get broken.
