> I only use turn signals when there are other cars around that would need the indication.

That is a very bad habit and you should change it.

You are not only signalling to other cars. You are also signalling to other road users: motorbikes, bicycles, pedestrians.

Your signal is more important to the other road users you are less likely to see.

Always ALWAYS indicate. Even if it's 3AM on an empty road 200 miles from the nearest human that you know of. Do it anyway. You are not doing it to other cars. You are doing it to the world in general.





It's also better because then it becomes a mechanical habit, you don't have to think about it.
