Fifty-seven percent of Americans admit to having personal reasons for not using turn signals while driving.
A recent survey of 1,000 adults, conducted by Response Insurance, found 23 percent of drivers admit they are just plain "lazy," while 17 percent don't signal because when they do, they forget to turn off the blinker. Twelve percent said they change lanes too frequently to bother with signals; 11 percent say signaling is unimportant; 8 percent say they don't signal because other drivers don't -- and 2 percent say they don't have enough time.
A surprising 7 percent said driving without signaling "adds excitement."
