Use Yah Blinkah!



BOSTON (CBS) – The Massachusetts Department of Transportation was apparently having some fun with a gentle reminder to Friday morning commuters.

Highway signs around Boston incorporated the local vernacular into their safe driving message.

The first page of the signs read, “Changing Lanes?”

They were followed by, “Use Yah Blinkah”

More likely go out of their way to use the WRONG blinker, or none at all.

I learned to drive in MA...but my habits are pure Midwestern.

where no one says rs but in Houston it is attempting suicide to signal a lane change. They are vicious. Any indication you want to change lanes and the meanies close up the hole.

Is one of the safest states to drive in, I think I don't want to be on the road in the others


Whenever I venture down from my rural hideaway into the nearest mid sized city I can't wait to get back home again because the roads are filled with crazy bastards out to maim as many of their fellow creatures as they can.

I find Boston drivers to be way better than drivers in the other major cities I've visited. But I learned to drive in the NYC area, so I may be used to a aggressive drivers.
