Pass me my flat cap and driving gloves

As I get the bus and/or train to work I don't do a lot of driving, but this weekend I seemed to be on the road more than I am normally. One thing that I noticed were the number of drivers that steadfastly refuse to use indicators. That is something that really bugs me as it's a fundamental part of driving and can be very dangerous if you don't do it. Have all new drivers been told not to use them so much? Does it save wearing the bulbs out? I know learners are taught to go into neutral gear when slowing down at traffic lights etc but using indicators is a safety factor.
No list today, but some observations on being 50 as found by a regular poser Frank

SOME OF THE PERKS OF BEING 50
1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
2. In a hostage situation, you are likely to be released first.
3. No one expects you to run -- anywhere.
4. People call at 9 p.m. and ask, "Did I wake you?"
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
7. Things you buy now won't wear out.
8. You can eat dinner at 4 p.m.
9. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
10. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

What do you mean, "regular poser"?? I haven't been a poser for a couple of years, now!
