oh sorry...guess that could help huh?

for making a turn of any sort. left or right...

i know it can be an inconvienence for other drivers on the road, but is it illegal to not use your blinker?

wait...did you just edit your post?

didnt you ask "use your blinker for what?"

hmm...now i am confused

My further response:

In the California Driver's Manual, you'll read that you shall use your blinker when making turns, and you must do so within 100 feet of your turn. You shall also use your blinker when changing lanes.

that's what i was wondering....thanks.

From the CA Vehicle Code:

22107. No person shall turn a vehicle from a direct course or move
right or left upon a roadway until such movement can be made with
reasonable safety and then only after the giving of an appropriate
signal in the manner provided in this chapter in the event any other
vehicle may be affected by the movement.

22108. Any signal of intention to turn right or left shall be given
continuously during the last 100 feet traveled by the vehicle before
turning.
