A Growing Problem (not a going problem)

I've recently become very concerned with the quality of automobiles on the road. The problem that I am seeing is very pervasive. It happens on all makes, models, and vintages of vehicles. In general, it is an intermittent problem, but the frequency that I observe this problem is rapidly increasing. My car has not experienced this problem yet, but with this growing problem, I wanted to spread the word, so you can be on the lookout for it.

Put simply, the problem is that turn signals are not working in these vehicles. Every single day I seem to be behind a vehicle that is affected by this problem. Perhaps it is electrical in nature. Has the government been conducting tests with EMPs (electro-magnetic pulses)? Or have solar storms been on the rise? I think if it was either of those, the effects would be much more wide-spread than just affecting turn signals. Whatever the cause, please help spread awareness, and regularly test your turn signals before making turns.

Thank you.

Great idea! I think a driving test should be required yearly of anyone over 55 years old. With VERY strict expectations. I also think that the driving age should be raised to 18.

Yet more reasons why I will not get elected to public office some day.

I can say I've helped the population and converted my wife from a non user to a user of turn signals.

Kahn, you have got me seriously worried. I will be taking my car into the shop for an expensive blinker system diagnosis.
