I have been taking the same highway and the same exit ramp to work
every day for the last 15 years. Depending on the timing, cars get
backed up waiting for the stop light to change in order to enter the
street from the ramp.
As I was in the back of the pack on the exit ramp waiting to move and
my mind started shutting down as I got closer to Sundstrand (employee
handbook requirement), I would get mesmerized by the sequence of turn
signal lights indicating a left turn on all but two cars or so, whose
drivers I assumed missed the turn indicating day at drivers’ ed class.
The left lane has no choice but to turn left, but the right lane has
the option of turning right (or going straight if they wanted to back on
the highway). I remember the turn signals flashing as it went through
my mind that none of them were timed to flash together (mind shutting
down).
Now as I take the same highway, the same exit ramp, and sit in the
same long string of cars waiting at the same light to, thankfully, a
different job, I notice that only my truck and maybe one other car are
using their turn signals.
What happened?
