Here is a crazy idea, just dont do any of that stuff and you wont have to worry about it
You've never changed lanes, made a turn, pulled into traffic, or parallel parked without putting on your signal? You're a more conscientious man than I...

I have a habit of subconsciously signaling when I'm about to enter a moderately sharp curve

Hopefully they'll have penalties for that too

Of course, however have you ever been pulled over for it?

Fairfax County are a bit famous for pulling over people for very small things such as not using a turn signal so to people in our county it would be a very big deal. Other areas that are more relaxed it wouldn't bother as much. So yes....people do get pulled over for not using their signals around here. Heck I got pulled over because the officer said my stock headlight bulbs was too blue and I don't have projectors or anything! I've been pulled over twice in Fairfax because the officer THOUGHT he saw a radar detector in my car when I've never used one in this state. I've also been pulled over for not using a turn signal in a mall (fairoaks) parking lot.

Fairfax just like pulling people over

Granted there are officers who pull you over for something silly just to see if there is anything major going on but 99% of us will be ok. Those of you in Fairfax just need to move

You can take this at face value given the source is a local newspaper, but they're saying this bill already passed.

You know though, you gotta admit all that harshness works. After my incident last year,

VA = 68 + cruise control + sing a song
