Why dont cops pull over more people for not signaling?

Is it because they are too busy driving around poking at their laptops to notice? Or because they know they dont signal themselves and feel guilty?
I see way more people not using their signals vs speeders.

I'd like to thank you, because on a bike, those same idiots are changing lanes without shoulder checking.
But the logical answer is that the popo will come off like dicks to issue tickets for a lane change without a signal. And their PR is bad enough as it is.

This is one of my biggest petpeeves! I can't stand morons who turn without or change lanes without signaling! I can honestly and truely say that i ALWAYS signal.
YES, please use your signals! It's not fucking hard.
Definitely my biggest pet peeve on the road.

+1 to this thread. I hate people who dont signal.
And people who suddenly cuts into your lane and drives reallly slow.
And people who dont understand yield signs.
And people with hids in their halogen housings.

i'm sometimes guilty of changing lanes without signal if there's not many cars around..but i ALWAYS shoulder check to ensure there's a safety gap. Out of respect for all drivers I should be signaling everytime.
One of the biggest pet peeves is people pulling out of a lot/driveway onto the left lane without sufficient gap and accelerates slowly without moving over to the right..causing everyone behind to brake

First off I think cops pull people over too often for stupid things.
I have been pulled over on highway #1 by a cop because I didn't have my turn signal on long enough before I made the lane change.:speechless:
If someone makes a safe lane change and didn't use a signal, its a waste of time and money to pull them over. There are better and less harassing things cops could be doing.
If someone cuts it a little close during a lane change regardless if the turn signal was used or not I think that they should be pulled over and issued a ticket because those are the ones that cause accidents. just my .02

I hate people who dont signal! I will signal every time i turn i dont care if its 16th and granville middle of the day or a residential street at 1 am. And then theres people who think they can turn wherever they want ie across a solid yellow line, i almost nailed someone yesterday because they did that. And then theres cops who dont signal i see it all the friggin time, and then theres the other cops who dont feel like waiting at a light so they flip on there sirens. Really wish i could turn around and just start handing out tickets.

The worst is when people are driving in the left lane, no signalling no nothing, then come to a complete in the middle of the intersection, THEN signal to turn left.

You really should dispute that, I would love to see what part of the MVA states how many seconds you need to have your signal on for.
I have had girls tell me they notice that if they signalling people tend to speed up and not let them into the lane, strange that i've not heard this from a guy. Perhaps guys can commit and finish the lane change faster where chicks dilly dally.

I bet if you did a poll less than 50% would know the difference between the two. Instead of a triangle picture I think signs that actually say merge vs yield would make much more sense.

Attempting to pass someone in the right lane using the left, and they SPEED UP as you try to overtake. This happened a few times to me whenever I'm on I-5, more recently on Friday evening, when a semi truck sped up as I was passing, in the dark pissing rain near the outlets.
Also, people who last second signal making a left turn. I almost got rear-ended because some motherfucker decided to do that while slowing down (even if the guy behind me was following a bit too close).

I was just in California and it's far worse than BC.
1. I noticed that hardly anyone uses their signals. Here it's at least 50% compliance. There it's 10%.
2. There was an unnatural amount of rain coming down and visibility went lower than I've ever experienced in the daytime and early evening. Yet, on the freeway hardly anyone turned on their lights.
By comparison I almost feel like praising BC drivers.

The no signalling while lane changing doesn't bug me that much as long as they are not cutting me off. It is when they are turning left and either don't or do it last minute at an intersection as I am behind them. Also, like the meme posted earlier, the right turning in an intersection without signalling pisses me off.
OT: what ticks me off the most is when drivers are driving in the middle lane AND THEY DO NOT GO INTO THE RIGHT LANE TO TURN RIGHT! THEY JUST FUCKING TURN RIGHT DIRECTLY FROM THE MIDDLE LANE! vent over.

I don't know why people get pissed at this... the limit is the same no matter which lane you are in ... 50km is 50km in the left middle and right lane... So unless the guy in the leftest lane is going 40, you really don't have the right to be mad if they are going 50-60km.

You're retarded. The left lane is the passing lane, meaning if you can't keep up, you get out of the way. You don't sit there doing 55 and hold up traffic. It's a courtesy for other drivers on the road. If you wanna talk law, you shouldn't even be driving in the passing lane in the first place, it's only used for passing. Slower traffic keep right, yea?

The main problem is education. Unless it was taught that the left lane is only for passing no one will do so. This is also only applicable on the highway as ppl turn left in the city.

You know what's worse than a person not signalling? A person signalling for their entire duration of their drive. I was going west on highway 1 coming in from Surrey on the left lane and I slowed down to let some guy into the left lane because he signalled left. Asshat got onto Highway 1 and I'm assuming they signalled from the merge lane to the right lane of the highway. BUT THE FUCKER DOESN'T HAVE THE DECENCY TO STOP SIGNALLING. Frustrated, I drove faster than Inormally would to pass the idiot incase he randomly decides to make the lane switch. when I got to the stop light at boundary and Grandview Highway, the dick caught up and was still signalling left.

I find putting my signal on is very effective at getting people to notice. Whether they are infront or behind you they eventually notice probably thinking to themselves "look at this jack ass driving with his signal on" only to look down and notice that they to are doing the same. When they flick theirs off, mine goes off

Is it because they are too busy driving around poking at their laptops to notice? Or because they know they dont signal themselves and feel guilty?
I see way more people not using their signals vs speeders.
maybe those poeple are from california where if you signal, the car will speed up next to you and prevent you from merging or changing lane

Can someone find this in our bylaws?, I understand fast/slow lane on the highway/freeway where poeple do not make left turns on left lane. But in the city, poeple needs to be in the left lane in case they plan to turn left say in the next 2 blocks.
Are you suggesting that everyone should yield to you or some other speedy gonzales by moving over to the right?. What kind of concept of road sharing is that? That potentially increase lane changing since everyone yields to you when you can just scoot over and pass them yourself instead of having like 5 or 10 cars moving over for you. Unless you are driving ambulence or a COP car. Again, I agree with you about the fast left lane only on highways, but in the city,, hell no.!
