An Open Letter To: People Who Don’t Indicate When Driving

IT’S THERE FOR A REASON.

Dear driver,

I’m so glad to see you’re alive and well given your reckless driving habits.

Oh, you don’t know what I’m talking about? That doesn’t surprise me. You’re the kind of person who has absolutely no self or spatial awareness.

Don’t give me that look. Look at yourself instead. Do some deep self-reflection. Do you like what you see? Can you genuinely say you’re proud of the type of driver you are? Do you really believe not indicating when you want to make a turn is okay?

Don’t answer that. Instead, just listen.

You not indicating when driving is bad conduct. First of all, if you were to do your driving test again, you would be failed on the spot. Which says a lot.

(mostly it says that L platers drive better than you).

You not indicating when driving is selfish. It proves you have no care outside of yourself.

You not indicating when driving is disrespectful. You don’t care about other drivers on the road- not for their sanity or their safety. You willingly put everyone at risk, including yourself, every time you don’t flick that indicator.

It’s like you’re asking for an accident. Or, at the very least, asking for someone to give you a piece of their mind (there are a lot of angry drivers on the road) (trust me).

Now I know, I know, it’s not always deliberate. Sometimes, you don’t know where you’re going or you’re daydreaming or you have to make a sudden turn. It happens. I understand. I’ve even been guilty of it myself (watch: nobody’s perfect by Miley Cyrus).

BUT (and this is a big but), I know a serial offender when I see one. You’re not a slow driver or a lost driver. You’re the person who speeds around the roundabout without indicating because you can.

You’re the same kind of person who will change lanes and not say thank you, and speed through a red traffic light at the last second.

You, dear driver, are the type of person I watch and hope a cop catches and fines.

That’s right, not indicating is a fineable offence. $180 and two license points (in NSW).

Ya know what they say: karma’s a bitch.

Love,

A law abiding citizen.
