Edited to say: hheremtp beat me to it.

Try coming down to Houston where even the nice little old ladies would rather run you off the road than let you over.

The reason most people don't use turn signals is because they are essentially "gap fill indicators". I can't tell you how many times I have seen someone put their tun signal on to indicate a lane change and the person behind them speed up to block them from getting over. Why would you use your turn signal before changing lanes if you know your are just going to get cut off?
