If we're invisible, and they can't / don't see us, well it doesn't matter if we signal or not. Better to deal with what ever situation is in front of us, than give information probably not seen and most likely misunderstood if noticed. I removed front turn signals and replaced with 2 bright white spots, on all the time (daytime), hoping that at least they see me.

Anyone who can't remember to turn off a turn signal shouldn't ride. Another option is a signal minder. This is a small audible alarm that attaches to the turn signal circuit. It beeps when a signal is activated.

You use your brake light to let the driver behind you know you're slowing down. Geeze. Maybe it is rocket science.

For what it's worth, it's against the law to have no blinkers front and rear in Texas. I was doing a search the other day on a vertical license plate mount, and ran across it. (Nothing prohibiting the vertical plate mount I could find, BTW).
