I don't drive here, so I haven't had the experience of studying for and taking the exam for a driver's license in Japan. My question is.. why do a lot of drivers wait until they get to ready to turn before they signal that they are turning?? Is there some rule against signaling at a reasonable distance before you get to your turn?? The hardest thing for me to understand is when I see people sit at a red light for a minute or so, THEN when the light turns green, the signal starts flashing!
I had a close call today with a truck, but managed to hop up on the sidewalk with just inches (centimeters) to spare - no signal until it was too late.
With that said.. I sincerely believe that drivers in Japan are far more watchful and courteous than drivers in the United States. I am just puzzled by this potential hazard that I've seen over and over.
