Turn Signals and DE's

[delanckc]

I had a conversation with a fellow RTR'r last evening and we discussed several topics related to DE.  We discussed how passing is handled in europeon based DE's.  Instead of using the hand out the window approach, they use the turn signal to display the path the driver being overtaken is heading and that the pass is opposite of the signal. 

It seems logical (and safer) to use a method that all drivers use in their daily driving rather than sticking your arm out the window with one hand on the wheel.  We constantly talk about people with alligator arms when signaling and people being late to signal.  I would think using the turn signal of the car would allow for earlier signals and enhance the safety aspect.

Start the discussion....
