I use my turn signals... but they are broken. Stupid electrical issue that will cost more to fix than the car is worth, and this market is not good for used cars right now.... :(

I think people double park because people can not parallel park. I heard that its not even on the driving exam anymore.

I'm sure you know this but there are hand signals out the window for this circumstance. Same as bike signals. I mean, probably only need to do it when there's someone who you can see would benefit from it (unlike people that never use their signals who don't seem to differentiate and just never use them).

I actually did look up what they are recently! I remember learning that 20 some years ago, but had forgotten. So I am trying to do that when needed.

Of course, the problem with that is, does everyone else on the road know them? lol. They can't even parallel park!

What kind of electrical issue is it?

I don't know really. Just going on what the mechanics said. Its not just the turn signals, it effects all of the lights on the front. I keep replacing the head lights and turn signals, but they just all keep burning out.

Not really a car person.

Sounds like you have some shorts between the head lights and the battery.

I'm just not sure what vehicle I want to get to replace it, even if i found an amazing deal. Seriously, my car has had a loooong happy life.

I'd love something with more space, like a mini van (but do I really want a mini van?). NOT an SUV, i've never liked them.

Yeah. I mean not knowing your situation, it's hard to say. My extended family all seem to drive Subaru wagons for space reasons, but not wanting a van or SUV
