Sgt. John Perrine, Indiana State Police Public Information Officer in Central Indiana urged people to use the cars’ safety feature that many of us don’t use in a public service announcement.
Perrine urged people to use the most neglected feature – the turn signal. He asked people to use the turn signal while changing lanes or making turns to avoid causing an accident.
Using the Turn signal is really very important but most of the people don’t use this feature.
48% of drivers don’t use turn signals while changing lanes or making a turn, according to a survey conducted by SAE International.

According to SAE International, ‘the turn signal is a vital safety feature that is not only required to be built in as standard equipment on all vehicles, but their use by the driver in everyday driving is required by law.point 196 | Since not all drivers are diligent at properly actuating turn signals in every situation, the use of the turn signal is less than 100%.point 308 |
