Leave your thumb on there untill it becomes second nature to turn it off around the corner ;) .....

Will be less uncomfortable than a car pulling out in front of you because they think you are turning :shock: ;)

That really is dangerous stuff though, carry a sharp object and every time you forget, stick yourself.
The Brain is great like that, couple of stabs and YOU WILL REMEMBER :kuda:

.....buy a beamer...they turn off by themselves dont they?

Seriously though.....learn the "you've left your blinkers on doofus" signal (open and close hand repeatedly) - the number of times I've tried to let peeps know they've left their blinker on using that signal to be met with no response or a dazed confused look is amazing. Oh and while I'm on a rant....if I nod at you , nod back noobs!! It's polite!! LOL rant over. :lol:
