I use it literally everywhere out of habit, I got made fun of for using it when pulling out of my moms driveway once lol
The only reason I won’t possibly use it is when I’m in a turn only lane at a red light and don’t want to listen to it for 3 minutes
Most people I find only use it 75% of the time at best.
I’m 2.5 years into driving and am curious if it’s just what semi-new drivers do or if I’m the odd one out.
It’s actually easier to just use it every time. Deciding whether you need to is cognitive load that’s better spent on other things.
This. It should be automatic, and you can’t have perfect awareness to always know with 100% certainly if there is another vehicle or pedestrian around which may benefit from that information.
