Background
We believe failure to indicate is a widespread and dangerous behaviour that causes collisions and near misses. Motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians are especially at risk as they rely on clear signals to react safely. Indicators are a basic driving requirement, yet lack of enforcement means many drivers ignore them. Proper penalties could improve road awareness, reduce accidents and save lives.
