Noting Mark was referring to right turn signals, maybe
this is one such situation:
you're riding on a street that crosses the T of a T
intersection where you want to turn right. An oncoming
driver simultaneously wants to turn left onto the same
narrow street. By your not signaling, the driver assumes
you're going straight through and holds-off making his left
turn where he might otherwise crowd you as you make your turn.
This pessimistically (or perhaps instinctively) assumes the
driver would not respect your ROW if you signalled.
cheers,
Tom
