I finally bought a new & modern car a few years ago, and one of my favorite features is that it beeps at me when I turn on my signal and someone’s in my blind spot. At this point I can no longer count the number of times I was unaware someone was there and I even started moving into their space but got a beep notification and avoided turning into them. Using my signal is becoming absolutely reflexive now, because it helps me “feel” my surroundings and avoid doing things that surprise other drivers when I can’t see them.
