Default Forgot to cancel your turn blinker?? Duhhh!

I have a link that you might like to look at for a solution to the "I forgot to cancel the turn signal for the turn that I made several miles back!!" problem.

http://web.mac.com/danoaks/www.dirtly.com/Beeper.html

This is a do-it-your-self solution, or you can buy it if you're not handy... or have some money to spend. The price is not very much any way....

The site owner, Dan Oaks, also have a few other interesting ideas that you may want to review.

Hmmmm that sounds interesting, but does it beep the whole time you have your blinker on? That sounds annoying already.

Hi there Deeg,

Yeaaaah!.. That's kinda the big idea isn't it. If it annoys you, youwon't forget will ya?? My Ford E150 van has such a soft sound that I often forget that the lights are still blinking. However, In my motor home I have one that is quite anoying, rest assured that I never forget to cancel that loud puppy!

On the side of conformity, you can select a less anoying, ie lower volume ones, at RShack, according to the originator of the system, a Mr. Dan Oaks. Check out his fishing rod solution for the motorcycle. Looks like I'll soon havea new task to take on.... (Love to fish when we're able to.)

Nice to hear from you again,

I always just expect someone to pull out in front of me whether I leave the turn indicator on or not and I'm usually not disappointed for long.
