Default I saw something rarely seen

A few days ago I saw something you rarely see anymore. No, it wasn't horse sh** in a garage. A car in front of me had a left turn signal that wasn't working and the driver put their arm out the window to signal a left turn. It must have been someone over 60 years old. I started driving in the early 50's and back then there was no electric turn signal. You had to crank down the window (electric windows were only on a few of the expensive cars) and put your arm straight out for a left turn and vertical for a right turn. You did this in -20 degree weather and in a downpour. So many people are too lazy to move that little lever up or down. It's a guessing game at intersections as to what the opposing driver is going to do. I used to watch cars following me to see if they signaled turns when I did. If they didn't do it then I might make a turn without a signal, and you know they get pi**ed off when you don't use a signal but it's OK if they don't do it.
