I think part of the problem is people are off in their own little world and don't pay attention when they are driving. |

I have turn signals on my 29 Phaeton but I frequently use hand signals without any issues. I am now building a 31 Victoria that never had them and it will stay that way.

I was quite surprised to see such opposition to my strobe light idea.....but, in retrospect, it seems that it was mostly from those who already have turn signals. We can get into the psychology of that, but that opposition may have roots in a group need to be "validated" in having turn signals. Admittedly, I've only been a part of the Model A community for a very short time.....but, considering what seems evident in this thread, I can imagine there have been spirited discussions over having, or not having turn signals, prior to this one. eog |

I have them on my 29 and I hate the fact that they are not self canceling. Because of this I find myself using hand signals a lot but then again I do live in the country so I feel I can get away without them. I am building the 31 Victoria to Fine Point and no Model A ever had factory turn signals. |

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?
I consider my Model A as a touring car. While out and about in traffic, whether in town or out on any somewhat busy highway, cars really need to see what my intentions of turning or merging are. I don't want them to read my mind. Hand signals cannot be easily seen while in the dark or just try to signal out the drivers door to someone in a lane to the right when you want to merge in. I put a bunch of money into my car and these won't do well in any kind of a mishap. I won't be turning in my turn signals any time soon. For what it's worth, I also have a right-hand tail/stop light too. I don't have separate turn signal fixtures in the back. Like others, I wired them into the stop lights and the turn signal switch.

Re: Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?
I wired in a buzzer and a dash LED to remind me to shut my turn signal off.
