Beeping at you makes sense though, because often you already know the lane is clear when you hit the turn signal, just by paying attention while you’re driving.
I click it and check the blind spots, then proceed. If I somehow missed something in my blind spot, I think it would be nice to know.
I turned it off. It treated my normal, safe driving as worthy of a jarring warning, which was making my uber passengers think I was an unsafe driver. I can’t have that.
Also the lane must be clear before you switch lanes. It is not necessary for the lane to be clear before you signal.
Your comment is also written from the frame that signaling equals changing lanes.
I turn on my turn signal to request a space to move into the packed lane. I don’t go into the lane until someone has seen the signal and is holding a space for me.
The turn signal is a communication device. That communication would be nearly useless if it were only used when nobody was in the lane you were going to. It’s the people in the lane you’re targeting who are the primary recipients of that message.
