You catch up to me on a two lane road. You can’t quite see far enough ahead to know if safe to pass, but I blink left signal 2 blinks on move to the extreme right of my lane. What am I doing?
1. Saying “safe to pass I will help you around” ?
2. Making fake gonna turn left signals like “brake checking” only different?
3. Trying to trick you into a fiery head on collision which I am videoing to sell to the news and u tube?
A horrible idea any way you cut it.
You are sending "mixed" signals to the driver behind.
Left turn signal should exclusively be used to indicate that you are turning left, not meant to tell folks you are allowing them to pass..
Add in the swerve to the right, hugging the outside edge of the road.. the person behind you is now thinking your are TURNING RIGHT but accidentally hit the left signal OR you are completely clueless to where you are and what you want to do..
In reality, instead of all of the mixed signals, simply EXIT the road as soon as it is safe for YOU to do so. IE PULL OFF THE ROAD.
Yes, I realize you may have roads with no place to do so, but it IS far safer for both you and the driver behind you.. I seem to have no problem finding other crossroads, driveways, parking lots or wide berms in my travels that can easily be made to work for my vehicle and 26ft TT.. Have turned around a few times over the yrs when the road I needed was missed..
