Yep NZ drivers are pretty bad . All my cars (with the exception of the 1910 Hupmobile) have indicators on them and I wouldn't be without them. Drivers don't seem to get my hand signals when I'm driving the Hupp. The major issue with my cars is that sometimes I'm driving down a major road and a car will be waiting to turn onto the road . They will see me coming and quickly turn in front of me to avoid being stuck behind an old car. They have no conception that my brakes may not be as good as theirs. - Karl
