Excerpt from Visualize Using Your Turn Signal:

When I was a kid in California, driving behavior was legendarily civilized. Children were safe in crosswalks from Mexico to Oregon, and people whose turn-signal bulbs had burned out opened their windows even in the rain to use their hands. My relatives in Massachusetts talked about this with awe.

Unfortunately, those courtesies have gone the way of the triceratops. Most drivers are still able to make themselves wait their turn at four-way stops in my rural county, but in cities...forget about it. And you take your life in your hands today crossing any California street.

The funny things is, I think this has everything to do with world peace. I think world peace could be achieved by more people using their turn signals.
