Flip your turn signal

To the editor,

As road conditions have become more difficult, it seems many people choose to forget about or are ignorant of others on the road.

Every vehicle is equipped with a lever that sticks out the left side of a steering column. This lever is called a "turn signal." It informs other vehicles around you that you intend to slow down. On slippery, snow-packed roads, extra time is needed to slow a vehicle. Therefore, by using a turning signal, you may be saving your own vehicle and preserving your safety by not getting rear-ended.
