I always practice "traffic prediction" techniques.

You can generally tell what someone is going to do before they do it based on their surroundings.

Maybe near your base or in the outskirts. Here in DFW?

1. No signals
2. The passing lane is the slow lane and right lane is the passing lane.
3. Everyone is talking and Texting while driving
4. more stop sign and red light runners I have ever seen in my life, so those cameras are making serious money here.
5. They think 4x4 means you can speed on ice.
6. They get road rage when they are making driving errors and start car bullying people which often leads to the road rager being shot dead right on the highway.
7. More fatal accidents in Tx than in any other state. Hmmm wonder why?

the list can go on

Changing a lane? Blinker.
Making a turn? Blinker.
You think nobody is around and doing either? Blinker.

And no, the use of your blinker does not indicate your right of way. Be courteous and if changing into a faster lane, make certain it's clear and keep speed with the traffic in that lane. Additionally, don't pull out into traffic and creep across 3 lanes, making traffic slam on their brakes around you so you can make the next turn: get to speed while moving over, and if necessary, make a u-turn a turn or two up or two left turns. And, for the love of Zeus, if you mistakenly make a commitment to a turn lane, keep it and correct your err after making the turn - do not jettison back out into flowing traffic.

All these drivers make me frightened about getting my Z in the next couple weeks!

:eekdance:

/I might be overreacting
//It's a Z, worth overreacting maybe just a little

I am fairly certain that blinkers are optional equipment on BMW and Mercedes -- based on my observations.

If you set your mirrors properly in the Z, you can drastically reduce your blind spots. Checking your mirrors, NONE of your car should be visible on either side.
