Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 10, 2020

The missus can hear better than him.

I guess that Pluggers are the only ones with vehicles old enough to have turn signals operated by analogue relays (which produced the “clicking” sound we all remember).

Left turn signal on and 40 MPH!!!

I resemled that in my Daewoo Racer

Many years ago, there was a geriatric standup comic who said, “I just love being here in California. I drove here all the way from Minneapolis.”

“With my turn signal on the whole freakin’ way!”

And than there are the morons who don’t use turn signals at all…

Bummer Dude ! I thought we were driving in a circle …. Turn signal was on the whole time ;-)

If the turn signal in my car is left on too long, it makes a loud chime to make you look at the dash display. It’s the same chime that it makes if there is a problem with the engine, fuel, or whathaveyou.

Pluggers living in the mountains don’t have that problem.. they rely on the next curve to turn that signal off.

Rather be behind someone that doen’t turn the signal off that the idiots that don’t use their turn signals. At least you are alerted that they may turn rather than the sudden near stop and turn.

There is a ticking time bomb in that truck—-that woman’s temper.

I don’t do that very often, but there’s a really shallow (small angle) turn near my home where self-cancelling signals almost never work so lots of signals get left on there … for blocks sometimes.

I still call them “blinkers” and my daughter makes fun of/corrects me.

My current vehicle turn signals are completely silent. The whole car is very quiet, which makes listening to music enjoyable, but I’m still used to turn signals making a sound. I do get an alarm is it is on too long.

People usually lose hearing in the higher ranges before the lower ones. Turn signal sounds are relatively high-pitched.
