This is one of the reason that lane detection is great. My Dad was an inconsistent user of the blinker but then changed when he got a car with that feature ; in his car there's feedback if you switch lanes without signaling which ends up being a tool that teaches signaling.

That's a great point!

Between that and the implementation of momentary signal activation - when you push the stalk just a bit, but not enough to "click" into place and stay there; it blinks ~3 times and stops - you have a nice carrot/stick pair.

It's annoying when the warning goes off when you change lanes without signaling AND it's easier to signal because you only have to tap the stalk once instead of twice.
