And the kicker is that I used my signal, but the cop didn't see it, and the cop always wins in a my-word-vs-his challenge

I can't even express in words how angry I am at the state of New York without breaking 4-5 different TOS rules

Challenge it. Oftentimes the cop won't show up, and even if he does, there will be videotaped evidence of you using your signal.

Either that, or the tape will show that the cop clearly could not have seen your signal.

The cop probably wont show up unless your were rude to him, then he will make it a point to show up.

So ya, always be nice to cops.

People who do not use turn signals should be fined more harshly. Not that TC should be if he's telling the truth, but people who don't signal are probably more dangerous than people who speed.

Come to Utah. Pretty much no one here uses a signal.

Depends entirely on the situation. I always use my signal, but there are some times when it's fine. They should be fined based on the situation, but yes, there are many situations where they need to be fined more.

There are times where I won't signal if I see there's no one behind me and I'm just making a simple right turn or if there's absolutely no one in sight in any direction. There's literally no harm in that.

I'd test this before doing anything, and then if it works and you KNOW that you put it on, yeah, contest it.

if nobody is around, there's not a cop to ticket you anyway.

Don't cars tell you if your turn signal is out? My turn signal went out a few months ago and it would blink really fast when I flipped it to let me know.

Actually, if your turn light is burnt out, you can take proof that it was and you repaired it and usually they will dismiss the ticket. But still show up in court, if the cop don't show you can challenge it and win.
