    Some people feel like this, “why didn’t others make way, I had my blinker on!”. But it’s the responsibility of the one joining the lane to actually make sure there’s room. Some just fucking smash into the lane and I dunno hope for the best, but they’re the one’s who would have to pay for the damages

      Where I live sometimes if you don’t just jump in the lane and push people out of the way they won’t let you. They see a turn signal as a challenge to their authority

        You are sorta responsible for finding the room to safely join a lane, blinker or no blinker. It’s a risk to do it otherwise because if you hit the other car you’re of course responsible, unless there’s some specific rule in effect in that part

        I get why people do it but expecting others to make room for you might end up costing a lot
