Does this happen in other places?

I've lived here for almost 2 years.

Do people (where you live) wait until the light turns green to put on their turn signal?

Example: let's say it is a 4 lane road. Two each direction with no turn lanes. You stop at a traffic light because it's red. The first car is in the left lane and has no signal on, but as soon as the light turns green they turn their signal on.

This isn't only if they're the first car. If they are, let's say fifth, they wait until they get to the white line before the light to signal.

Even if they are turning right they do it. If there is no light they wait until they are slowed down and ready to make their turn.

I could see if someone forgot that they were supposed to turn, but this happens all the time I've noticed. Was just wondering if it just here lol.

90% of the MD driver's I have come across are rude and don't know how to drive.  I have lived here for 7 years.

What part? It is frustrating. You have to constantly wonder what they will do. We can be on a main highway then out of no where they brake hard, signal and turn.

LOL no. People here either turn their signal on when they should, or not at all.

I've thought about moving to wv. I know around the state line of the two is nice. We live in a pretty populated area and I miss laid back. Everyone here is always in a rush.
