Some Holiday Fun - The NH Left-hand turn
Since coming back to NH, something clearly has changed. It took me a while, but I'm finally getting the hang of it!
The Left-hand turn learned in Driver's School (1) Put-on flasher (2) Pull to the Left side of the road without touching the solid line (3) Come to a complete stop if there are oncoming cars (4) Make the Left How to perform a left-hand turn in NH only (1) Pull far to the Right side of the road - if there's a solid line, ignore it (2) Come to a complete stop if there are oncoming cars. (3) Put-on flasher (Better: Wait as long as possible to do this. Best: Don't use it - best to keep them guessing!) (4) Make the Left |
Flasher?!! I believe you meant to say blinkah.

I always thought the flashah, was the guy in the raincoat that stood on the corner waiting for the red light then ran out and opened the raincoat to show his birthday suit.

you guys are morons....everyone knows that a blinkah is on vehicles, but a flasha is on Rudolph the red nosed reindeer's face !

Driver's School?
This all sounds like Rockingham County, not the rest of NH. But a good reminder to clean up our habits as we enter the season of ice and snow.
Driver's School? Didn't we all learn to drive as part of 4-H tractor training? "Blinkah's"? I remember hand signals, but only for left turns, since nobody would pass on the right as they would fall off the edge of the road. I recall when folks south of Rockingham County got a license that was "Restricted to Automatic Transmission" because they couldn't manage a clutch. (If you can't manage a clutch, you start and stop/stall too quickly and the contents of the Honey Wagon will slop over the ends and sides.) I'm sure other experienced NH drivers have their own tips. |
I live in a small town and drive an old beat-up truck. My daughter always scolds me for neglecting my turn signal. I've been driving the same vehicle on the same roads making the same turns for years. People should know by now when I'm turning, so turn signals not required.

The preferred hangout seems to be the two lights in downtown Laconia.

No Blinker
Why should anyone care where i am going ????

Blinkas are for turning, flashas are for accidents/hazards. Get it right!

Now I always use it. |
Make sure you fill that blinka fluid! :D
|
#3 is wrong. Come to a complete stop even if nobody is coming, so everybody behind you has to stop.
|
I use my blinkah...'cept when I forget to refill the blinkah fluid.

There’s always this . . .
