Turn Signals and DE's

[Brian Minkin]

I would find the path opposite the signal confusing (counter intuitive).  But I have driven in programs that used the turn signal (right signal if you wanted the car overtaking you to pass on the right) and it worked except for one issue. Once the signal goes on every car behind you will take it as a passing signal to them if you do not shut it off quickly. I thought it created many dangerous situations when a driver started to turn in not realizing that a 2nd or third car was going for the pass after the driver kept the signal on for an extended period of time.  I believe hand signals that are distinctive for each car you want to have pass are the safest way to coexists on a race track.  The only place turn signals are needed is for night sessions.
