Btw, relating what I just said above to motorcyclists (Daddog's ilk) I'd have to say the numbers are nearly polar opposite. 3 to 4 out of 5 bikers DO signal in some form, at least in my experience, either with their blinker or, if they're moving left they often use the extended arm point a second before making thier move. I know that in the 5 years I rode back in the 80's I always signaled religiously. On a bike you really tend to become more aware of the traffic around you. You have to, or chances are good you're going to eventually get shmooshed.
In all likelyhood they (bikers) drive so responsibly because they know full well that upwards of 80% of the larger vehicles on the road around them are being driven by incompetant idiots (as I outlined above) and are thus more conscious of protecting themselves. :D
