You've got an answer for everything eh? Trying to justify behavior that is idiotic, illegal, dangerous, and annoying. I bet you're a skilled driver.
Your explanation for not using turn signals sounds a lot like: "If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it, does it still make a sound?"

I am a skilled driver. I have never been in a car accident and only off-roaded into a guardrail once when a tire popped in the middle of a snowstorm in a car that didn't have working brakes (only the E-Brake) and I still drove it home the rest of the way after throwing on a donut. I can drive automatic, manual, and the hybrid mode on automatics. I can pull trailers and drive box trucks. I can operate a liftruck, lull, skidsteer, tractor, boom lift, ATV, motorcycle, dirtbike, 4x4, dump truck, excavator, zero turn lawnmower, scissor lift, go kart, dunebuggy, scooter, tow truck, plow, etc. About the only land vehicle I can't operate is a tractor trailer with 18 gear, but I could probably pick it up fairly quickly given the chance.
I don't follow the rules but I know my limits. I don't drive like a maniac. I always use my turn signals with traffic and am usually at around the speed limit except on long straight stretches. I feather my brakes and accelerator like a grandma, I don't even trust my automatic to downshift for me.
I can drive year round in Vermont with all-seasons. I slow down considerable in winter and leave 20 minutes early to compensate.
There is no reason for the absurd speed limits.
And I never said to not use turn signals. I said you technically shouldn't have to if your turn doesn't require a change or speed. I don't do aggressive cornering like that, but for people who do I don't see the issue.

Your comment sounds like a job interview. I'm not hiring.
