    Why exactly do you think cars have turn signals? Was it on a whim? Did people think it looked nice?

            Well I thought the answer was to avoid crashes by signalling to people behind you that you’re about to turn.

            But you’re claiming that’s not the case.

            So why do cars have turn signals?

            I am not psychic, sorry.

              I’m saying that if you need signals to reduce the risk of crashing you shouldn’t drive, which is probably 98% of humans. That is the vast majority of people should drive.
