Public Service Announcement For All Car Owners:

I am very sad to report the loss of an important “friend” of mine – the turn signal! I rely so much on the turn signal and I wish car makers would re-install and/or stop removing turn signals from cars! It seems like more and more cars (old and new) do not have turn signals, or so I would assume since I never see them getting used by people. It is sad because I really like my turn signal and find it very helpful when communicating with other drivers on the road. It helps me tell them where I plan on going and I use it to see where they want to go, but now I am just all confused with the elimination of the great turn signal. I don’t know how, when or why turn signals became obsolete on most cars out there – but they have and I don’t like it! And the thing is, we have no way of telling which cars do and do not have their turn signals. A lot of times it seems like hugely oversized trucks and SUV’s come with out it, as well as, small cars with overly big spoilers on the back. But I can’t 100% rely on that observation alone.

Luckily, my wonderful Honda comes with a great turn signal. It has a nice sound, doesn’t take up much space, is conveniently located on the left hand side of my steering wheel – it is great!! All I have to do is extend one (or two) fingers out while I still hold on to the wheel and push my fingers either up or down depending on the direction of which I am turning! AND, I don’t even have to do anything after I turn – it turns off automatically! It is great!

So I ask all of you if you know of people who do not have turn signals in their cars, please ask them to get them re-installed! And make sure to only buy cars that come equipped with this wonderfully overlooked car item! It isn’t about the CD player, the DVD player, or the GPS system – it is all about my friend the turn signal (the greatest invention EVER!!).

Thank you for your time
