Letters: Richmond News reader urges drivers to use turn signal

How hard is it to put on your turn signal, asks letter writer.

Using a turn signal would make the roads safer, says letter writer.

Dear Editor,

Ray Arnold certainly hit the nail on the head in his excellent, articulate letter regarding Richmond’s poor drivers. I couldn’t agree with him more!

I would like to add one of my main gripes, and that is drivers who don’t indicate an upcoming turn.

Is it really too much to ask you to please signal your intention? Does it take that much energy to flick an indicator lever up or down - seriously, it doesn’t!

And it would make a huge difference to safety on our roads.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve nearly had an accident (or been hit whilst walking or cycling) due to people not indicating - how am I to know what you’re about to do?!

Please, everyone out there behind the wheel, have some consideration for your fellow road users and use that indicator!

Everyone will thank you.
