This video is another one of my Vancouver driving rants because getting around this city can sometimes feel absolutely crazy. Today I've got my family and two kids in the car, and on one short trip it felt like I nearly ended up in several accidents.

One driver gets into the left-turn lane and suddenly decides he wants to come back into the right lane while traffic is moving. Another driver appears to be making a right turn from the wrong lane. No warning, no indicator—you're simply expected to figure out what they're doing.

That's the entire purpose of a turn signal!

If you're changing lanes, turning or moving across traffic, that little blinking light tells everybody around you what you're planning to do. Instead, I'm constantly seeing drivers suddenly move without giving anybody else a warning.

In this video I throw out a tongue-in-cheek theory about whether some drivers simply aren't accustomed to using signals where they previously drove. I'm asking viewers from around the world to tell me what driving is actually like in their countries.

Is this particularly bad in Vancouver? Is it happening everywhere? Or am I just noticing it more because Vancouver traffic has become so hectic?

If you've driven in Vancouver, let me know your experience below.

And please—for everybody else on the road—

USE YOUR TURN SIGNAL!
