To Clear Up Confusion...
Just to clear up any possible misunderstanding about the steps involved in switching lanes on the interstate, please follow these techniques in the order given:
1. Turn on blinker.
THEN
2. Switch lanes.
I understand that you may be tempted to try these steps in reverse order. Please be advised from a fellow driver, though, that changing lanes and then blinkering is not nearly as effective.
In the span of 10 minutes, I saw 6 people switch lanes and then blinker. Makes no sense to me...

Hey at least the blinker is used at all.. I'm always seeing people shooting across lanes completely sans blinker. I get the impression this is what's going on in their little heads: 'Oh.. I think I need that lane (5 lanes over).. I'll just zip on over, no blinker needed! Everyone will let me through.'

There is also one very important step that should come before these two, which alot of people around here forget. How about checking traffic?

Oh dear Lord. I think we're on the same wavelength here. My last post was about the whole "lack of using one's turn signal" thing.
Nice blog, by the way!

I agree with the others, too - at least turn the damn blinker on! :)
