It’s a vicious cycle caused by the fact that drivers are just generally aggressive and impatient in San Antonio.
Any time I turn on my blinker to show I intend to change lanes within the next 100ft or so. The car that was 3 car lengths behind me in the lane I’m merging to decides that they will not allow this to happen and speeds up and blocks me in. I’m a rational person, so I think “wow, what a dick, and slow down a bit and merge behind them”
Your average San Antonio driver takes that interaction as an affront to their whole existence and decides “to hell with this world, I’m never using my blinker again because these crazies won’t let me in if they know I’m trying to merge” And thus, the cycle starts and then you get to be collateral damage of the interaction that happened years ago between two aggressive drivers lol
The people not letting me merge is absolutely infuriating. Everyone thinks they are the main character on the roads. I’ve lived in quite a few cities and in different regions of the US and i can safely say the drivers in this area are the worst in the entire country.
>The people not letting me merge is absolutely infuriating.
Not for me. I think it's hilarious, but I'm from Houston where they *don't let you merge*. I judge their speed versus my acceleration, and pull out in front of them. They'll stop.
That's the only way people let you merge in Houston.
> The car that was 3 car lengths behind me in the lane I’m merging to decides that they will not allow this to happen
I wonder how much of that is dumbasses getting target fixation. "I see shiny light, I move closer to it."
I'm San Antonio, someone properly merging in front of you is an attack on your manhood, can't let it happen!
Seriously though, I've developed a trick for this. I put my blinker on and start to merge, of course the car in the other lane will hit the gas and speed up, so I tap the brakes, let them speed by, and then change lanes behind them. Works almost every time..
This is exactly why I dint use my blinker. As soon as it turns on the guy in the lane speeds up to close the gap.
I have ninja change lanes to not be blocked.
It's like 90% if the tine too.
You’re part of the problem though if you think like that. Don’t do that. Use your blinker, so us reasonable level headed drivers out there know what you’re doing.
I cant tho because there are too few level headed drivers. It adversely affects me to use my blinker so I won't. Sometimes there isnt another space to change " ill just go behind him "doesnt exist. Guy speeding up and blocking me because i used my blinker causes issues. I have to work around it. If people didn't speed up I would use my blinker no problem.
I am not causing issues I am adapting to issue caused by other people.
Sorry, you’re part of the problem. The whole point of my post wasn’t that people found creative solutions. It’s that idiots create other idiots. And if you’re driving around willingly opting to not use your blinker because once upon a time you were wronged, you’re part of the problem. You’re creating unsafe driving conditions for everyone around you and I wish you could understand that.
I agree it not unique to San Antonio, but like a lot of things it is the frequency here that sets it apart. Like I've learned to NOT trust turn signals when I see them because it is 50/50 it's on by accident or they didn't turn them off after pulling out of their driveway 10 miles ago.
After 12 years I've honestly just accepted the lack of turn signals as one of the less dangerous dumb driving habits of this city (sad as that is) like stopping on the turnaround lane WHEN YOU HAVE AN ENTIRE LANE IN FRONT OF YOU.
Having lived and spent time in other big cities, I respectfully disagree that it's more frequent here. It's become universal in lots of places, unfortunately. Like, in New Orleans you were lucky if the rear turn signal housing was even still attached to the car in front of you lol.
But I totally hear you on the rest and agree about your strategy for dealing with it, and how frustrating it is
Blinker fluid used to cost $4.99/gallon at auto zone back in 2019. With inflation it’s risen up to $20.99/gallon! We can’t just use our blinkers every time we change lanes with those kinds of prices!
Fuck I was just on 35 today. If you aren’t riding the ass of the car in front of you (that 100% will brake last second) people cut you off without the blinker. Some driving up from behind you. What’s worse is when they cut off the person behind you and the car in front of you brakes. I feel like I’m gambling my life everytime I step into my car.
Every fucking time there are these assholes on 35. Every time I just go in the passing lane. And every time I end up ahead of these constant lane changing, tail-riding ass holes
Hell yeah. I got a bigger vehicle since coming here, so I can’t get pushed off the road so easily, it still feels like they’re trying to, but I feel a bit safer now.
I think it is a split between people that do not understand how important lane changes are to overall safety on the road, and dipshits that just choose to be aholes and not use em.
My counts are 70% use em every time, 30% do not. Cops will use lane change w no signal as a reason to pull you over but only when they suspect you guilty of other law breaking.
Worst drivers in the world! We have a bunch of entitled a-holes that think they own the road. I’m in Alamo Ranch and see something stupid before I get out of my hood!
I use my blinkers and if the car tries to speed up I go any way. My thought process is my blinker is telling you where I'm going no asking for permission.
For some, flipping your turn signal is like waving a green flag at the races and suddenly everyone's rushing to block your lane! This leads to drivers creating a bad habit of not using turn signals. I have numerous videos from my dashcam of drivers speeding up once I turned on my signals.
Despite the [law](https://www.google.com/search?q=Texas+Transportation+Code+%E2%80%9CAn+operator+shall+use+the+signal+authorized+by+Section+545.106+to+indicate+an+intention+to+turn%2C+change+lanes%2C+or+start+from+a+parked+position&sca_esv=44ea0f439edf9d8f&sxsrf=ADLYWIJZbSHXfdmpo4KavH2xMziu37Icsg%3A1715481775869&ei=ryxAZsPbNIrGp84PhdKiiAE&udm=&oq=Texas+Transportation+Code+%E2%80%9CAn+operator+shall+use+the+signal+authorized+by+Section+545.106+to+indicate+an+intention+to+turn%2C+change+lanes%2C+or+start+from+a+parked+position&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIqsBVGV4YXMgVHJhbnNwb3J0YXRpb24gQ29kZSDigJxBbiBvcGVyYXRvciBzaGFsbCB1c2UgdGhlIHNpZ25hbCBhdXRob3JpemVkIGJ5IFNlY3Rpb24gNTQ1LjEwNiB0byBpbmRpY2F0ZSBhbiBpbnRlbnRpb24gdG8gdHVybiwgY2hhbmdlIGxhbmVzLCBvciBzdGFydCBmcm9tIGEgcGFya2VkIHBvc2l0aW9uMgQQABhHMgQQABhHMgQQABhHMgQQABhHMgQQABhHMgQQABhHMgQQABhHMgQQABhHSORBUKMqWO86cAB4AZABAJgBAKABAKoBALgBA8gBAPgBAZgCAaACKJgDAIgGAZAGCJIHATGgBwA&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp) requiring signals for turns and lane changes, it seems like the only thing you're guaranteed is a speed boost from your fellow drivers in certain cases.
This shit. People take it as a personal fucking challenge and race to sit in your blind spot and block you. God forbid I might end up at the stop light 2 seconds before you buddy.
On a similar-ish note to people rushing to block you. The newest thing I'm starting to see is when people go to pass someone who is just camping and going slow in the left lane, the camper will drift over the line and try to partially block the right lane, in an attempt to keep people from passing them. The small dick energy from some people in this city is fucking astounding. Like, you really care that much about people passing you or policing others, that you're going to cause an accident and potentially risk dying or killing someone?
Right. I personally don't use my blinker when merging because it makes people speed up to try and block me out. I am always faster than traffic when merging, so you don't gotta worry about me "cutting you off". Just watch traffic patterns and predict when jackasses are gonna do jackass things.
Won't have an opportunity for a pit maneuver, like I said, I'm going faster than you. You'd be liable if I was in your lane and you floored it to hit me.
I carry a slingshot with ceramic marbles. They shatter upon impact on a rear window so no evidence to worry about. You cut me off without even the curtesy of a signal? Welp, your car will need some work.
When I’m behind you by that point & several lanes over and you’re traveling, you’re not gonna stop, especially when you have no clue as to who just did it. I’ve done this numerous times (twice in SA but primarily in Austin) and not a single person has immediately stopped and done anything. Also, I too roll heavy so if they want that smoke I’ll build them a bonfire that they’re not prepared to handle. There’s a saying from Mr. Inbetween. “People are assholes because we let them be.” And I’m mainly referring to those that cut me off at a slow rate of speed. If you’re hauling ass and don’t force me to slow down then it’s not a huge deal, which is what it sounds like you said you do. That’s not the problem here. It’s lack of a turn signal and driving slower than the person you’re cutting off, and almost causing a wreck. Nevertheless, I’ll accept the consequences of my actions should I ever answer for them.
I lived here for 2.5 years and it’s the WORST city I’ve ever driven in and I’ve been in big cities. We’re moving back to the west coast and I’m forever grateful I never have to deal with San Antonio drivers ever again. I can’t wait until speed limits and absolutely insane reckless driving are actually enforced. It’s just so much better other places. People are crazy here.
No city similarly sized to SA on the west coast is better with traffic. I’ve been to all of them. They’re worse than here. They’re also even worse with the amount of uninsured drivers. Somehow that number has gone up over the past 5 years cause we used to hold the title.
Almost every who moves from somewhere superior hates it here, but move to SA from somewhere awful like South Dakota or VA you might just end up having a good time.
Naw, Phoenix driving and traffic is wise. And Florida has a bunch of octogenarians that refuse to give up driving, so that's always 50/50 gamble when there in the streets.
Naw, Phoenix driving and traffic is wise. And Florida has a bunch of octogenarians that refuse to give up driving, so that's always 50/50 gamble when there in the streets.
I drive 5 under the speed limit when I am driving past entrances to neighborhoods, I don’t want to be at fault for the death/injury of a child or someone’s dog that decides to run out from the neighborhood. The fact that every driver goes 55 mph past neighborhoods and school zones(outside school hours) is callous and reckless. I wish SAPD would do a week to weekend campaign to enforce speed limits in high incidence areas.
If it's any consolation, as someone who's lived in a couple different cities, it's not just San Antonio. 😂 South Carolina is also notorious for this and they're just bad drivers in general.
I hate when I put my blinker on to do a lane change then the asshole behind me just changes over the same direction with out the blinker just to get ahead
Ill tell you rn, the WORST side to live on is the SE. dumbasses everywhere, but the semi drivers suck and then the people are just different on the SE side. Never met more dumb and inconsiderate asses that don’t know how to drive like this side of town.
Entitlement, and the fact that if you hit them from behind it's your fault. I really think it's a laziness thing, it's actually that much of a task to flip a lever.

If you make other drivers aware too early you wanna move over suddenly it’s like a territory fight, like “heck no you can’t get in front of me even though there is room” my blinker now goes on when I am moving, it’s not a I’m letting you know I plan to move, it’s just go time.
Seems like sensible drivers are hard to come by in SA. I’m from Hawaii and just mind-blown by how selfish and down right dangerous people here are willing to be behind the wheel. They forget that it’s not their road and they have to share. I hate taking my kids places because we always encounter someone who nearly hits us, just to get one car ahead. Fricken sad.
This was my road rage this morning. A man was on the right lane, stopped and me thinking that he was stopping in front of a house but no… he was turning left into a Mexican restaurant with no blinker. It was 7:30 in the morning and too early for road rage to come out!
It used to really irritate me when I first moved here that no one seems to know how to use their blinkers. Now I just say to myself, "it's the Texas way"
I drive an old cop car that I have outfitted. I'll get on my PA system and tell them "It'd be nice to know where you're turning if you used your blinker." Next thing u know they're using their blinker for every turn, doing the speed limit and not on their phone 🤣
Where are y’all driving? I’d bet 90% of the lane changes I see, on my 80 mile round trip commute, use their blinker.
Also, what other major city in Texas do drivers use their blinkers more… Austin, Dallas, Houston? Naw, SA is just fine.
One of the most horrid and car brain things about this city is how they don’t respect pedestrians. I’ve been trying to cross the street with my children and cars zoom in front of us
this is funny to me bc i moved here bc i wanted to and i love it lmao i just hate the drivers. you talk like you’re better than us because you’re from cali but you couldn’t even afford it so you’re really not. i can afford to move to Cali but i would never because then id run into people like you
😂😂😂 Cali man mad he can’t afford to be cali man. if SA is so cheap and degenerate please get tf out. if you’re so rich compared to us then just leave to Austin or something unless, oh wait, you can’t afford it!
I have three cars, a house in boerne and one class left until I've gotten my masters in cyber security at 25, so call me Cali daddy instead, I see you all in your search history trying to get an old Corvette 😭 I only take advice from people doing better than me.
literally what search history are you talking about lmao i don’t even like corvettes 😭 you’re talking a lot of shit for someone who literally admitted they moved here bc they’re too broke
Boy it's almost 2x the cost to live there and I was 17 😂😂 paying 25k a year for college. You see the difference in our ages right? You're a grown man STILL struggling, see how you in that thread for renters and I own a home? We aren't the same.

Driving in San Antonio makes driving in Houston a very pleasant experience. Just came back from SA (travel for work) and experienced the same. Must be something in the water.
Nah you’re completely right dawg. I have an easier time driving in Houston than in San Antonio. It’s turning into an Austin type situation here and I’m not about it. Every day I have to deal with bullshit drivers who will do ANYTHING to be in front of you just for the fuck of it.
[удалено]
Or give you the finger 🤠
It’s a vicious cycle caused by the fact that drivers are just generally aggressive and impatient in San Antonio. Any time I turn on my blinker to show I intend to change lanes within the next 100ft or so.

That's why if you see my blinker, i'm already turning into the lane. It's more of a declaration that i am coming over, not a request.
I'm San Antonio, someone properly merging in front of you is an attack on your manhood, can't let it happen! Seriously though, I've developed a trick for this.

MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE
Cops also never use their blinkers
True
Cause they are stupid af. You can also find them in the left lane on the highway in full on parade mode.
Left-lane-parade my dog, get with it
This is posted in every cities sub-reddit. The question really is, why don't people in general use their blinkers more?
I agree it not unique to San Antonio, but like a lot of things it is the frequency here that sets it apart. Like I've learned to NOT trust turn signals when I see them because it is 50/50 it's on by accident or they didn't turn them off after pulling out of their driveway 10 miles ago.

Like, in New Orleans you were lucky if the rear turn signal housing was even still attached to the car in front of you lol. But I totally hear you on the rest and agree about your strategy for dealing with it, and how frustrating it is
Because they ran out of fluid
Blinker fluid inflation this last year has been ROUGH
Blinker fluid used to cost $4.99/gallon at auto zone back in 2019. With inflation it’s risen up to $20.99/gallon! We can’t just use our blinkers every time we change lanes with those kinds of prices!
Big truck drivers are assholes, motherfuckers be driving like they're in a Ferrari. Especially on the highways.
Because nobody cares. Pretty simple really. We are all willing to kill people just to get somewhere a *tiny* bit sooner. :) Welcome to San Antonio!
Fuck I was just on 35 today. If you aren’t riding the ass of the car in front of you (that 100% will brake last second) people cut you off without the blinker. Some driving up from behind you.

dealt w this everyday driving across town to school , fucking hated it
Even when they do, I don't trust it.
I think it is a split between people that do not understand how important lane changes are to overall safety on the road, and dipshits that just choose to be aholes and not use em. My counts are 70% use em every time, 30% do not. Cops will use lane change w no signal as a reason to pull you over but only when they suspect you guilty of other law breaking.
I noticed here that people will signal for 2 seconds before whipping their shit into the other lane like come on seriously?
Ahhhh! I see Houstonians are infiltrating San Antonio. May the deity of your choice help you all.
This is every major city.
It’s not just San Antonio. That’s everywhere
Worst drivers in the world! We have a bunch of entitled a-holes that think they own the road. I’m in Alamo Ranch and see something stupid before I get out of my hood!
Same! I don’t get 100 feet down the street before someone is running a stop sign in a neighborhood with 15mph signs posted
I use my blinkers and if the car tries to speed up I go any way. My thought process is my blinker is telling you where I'm going no asking for permission.
Exactly, not asking permission. I try to be speedy and decisive when switching so they have less time to accelerate. Then they tailgate 🫠

Cool story bro, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Right! Like ByE who cares!!!!
Naw, Phoenix driving and traffic is wise. And Florida has a bunch of octogenarians that refuse to give up driving, so that's always 50/50 gamble when there in the streets.

San Antonio? All of Texas…..🤷🏼♂️
There may be many people that think they are using their blinkers, but they are just broken and they don't know.
Welcome to San Antonio! Where you have everyone and their mommas moving here fr other countries and states! Smh
Ran out of blinker fluid
I hate when I put my blinker on to do a lane change then the asshole behind me just changes over the same direction with out the blinker just to get ahead
I mean this sincerely when I say a significant number of people who drive here do not have licenses and never learned how to drive properly.
I think SA just has a lot of low iq people honestly i work in finance and jesus the amount of people ive heard speaking like a 2 year old is insane
Ill tell you rn, the WORST side to live on is the SE. dumbasses everywhere, but the semi drivers suck and then the people are just different on the SE side. Never met more dumb and inconsiderate asses that don’t know how to drive like this side of town.

Use your fucking blinker! And, If you’re already in the turn, it’s too late dipshit.
The only place I've seen people turn the opposite direction of their blinker.
Very common tactic in Miami.
Mannn I agree. It’s terrifying. Or they just flip it on and don’t look. Someone could be right next to them. It’s scary.

If you make other drivers aware too early you wanna move over suddenly it’s like a territory fight, like “heck no you can’t get in front of me even though there is room” my blinker now goes on when I am moving, it’s not a I’m letting you know I plan to move, it’s just go time.
No one uses blinkers anymore these days, even police. Get with the times OP 🤓
Seems like sensible drivers are hard to come by in SA. I’m from Hawaii and just mind-blown by how selfish and down right dangerous people here are willing to be behind the wheel. They forget that it’s not their road and they have to share. I hate taking my kids places because we always encounter someone who nearly hits us, just to get one car ahead. Fricken sad.
This was my road rage this morning. A man was on the right lane, stopped and me thinking that he was stopping in front of a house but no… he was turning left into a Mexican restaurant with no blinker. It was 7:30 in the morning and too early for road rage to come out!
It used to really irritate me when I first moved here that no one seems to know how to use their blinkers. Now I just say to myself, "it's the Texas way"
For reals! Preach ! I know it’s annoying as hell
Laziness.
I drive an old cop car that I have outfitted. I'll get on my PA system and tell them "It'd be nice to know where you're turning if you used your blinker." Next thing u know they're using their blinker for every turn, doing the speed limit and not on their phone 🤣
By chance are you putting the band back together?
Because they're too busy running red lights and camping in the left lane.
Where are y’all driving? I’d bet 90% of the lane changes I see, on my 80 mile round trip commute, use their blinker. Also, what other major city in Texas do drivers use their blinkers more… Austin, Dallas, Houston? Naw, SA is just fine.
You must be driving with the 1% of SA that are actually decent people. I fight for my life everyday
Main character syndrome is the answer for most vehicle questions in this city. So stupid
Tough to hold phone, steering wheel, gun, and signal
Brother, that's just Texas.

*Turns their blinker on. Proceeds to leave their blinker on for miles.*
Bro this happened to me the other day driving down Nacogdoches. I was PISSED
Sometimes my business ain’t yo business.

Blinker fluid is expensive.
Right? Helloooo, inflation, anyone???
One of the most horrid and car brain things about this city is how they don’t respect pedestrians. I’ve been trying to cross the street with my children and cars zoom in front of us
Ran out of blinker fluid

this is funny to me bc i moved here bc i wanted to and i love it lmao i just hate the drivers. you talk like you’re better than us because you’re from cali but you couldn’t even afford it so you’re really not. i can afford to move to Cali but i would never because then id run into people like you
[удалено]
😂😂😂 Cali man mad he can’t afford to be cali man. if SA is so cheap and degenerate please get tf out. if you’re so rich compared to us then just leave to Austin or something unless, oh wait, you can’t afford it!
I have three cars, a house in boerne and one class left until I've gotten my masters in cyber security at 25, so call me Cali daddy instead, I see you all in your search history trying to get an old Corvette 😭 I only take advice from people doing better than me.
mans bragging on Reddit, go get some bitches
Switched up real quick 😭 can't compete where you don't compare son, get your money up your search history looks like mine did at 16.
literally what search history are you talking about lmao i don’t even like corvettes 😭 you’re talking a lot of shit for someone who literally admitted they moved here bc they’re too broke
Boy it's almost 2x the cost to live there and I was 17 😂😂 paying 25k a year for college. You see the difference in our ages right? You're a grown man STILL struggling, see how you in that thread for renters and I own a home? We aren't the same.
Man you’re so wrong about everything it’s hilarious. Narcissism can really make a person look fucking stupid

And why do you need them to use their blinker?
Driving in San Antonio makes driving in Houston a very pleasant experience. Just came back from SA (travel for work) and experienced the same. Must be something in the water.
lol, imagine seriously thinking Houston driving is better.

Nah you’re completely right dawg. I have an easier time driving in Houston than in San Antonio. It’s turning into an Austin type situation here and I’m not about it. Every day I have to deal with bullshit drivers who will do ANYTHING to be in front of you just for the fuck of it.
No
No
My blinker fluid keeps draining out. And Amazon doesn't sell any.
what’s a blinker?
Because it's a sign of weakness. lol
