My instructors are giving me different version of how to throw my indicator.
1.Full observation (right blind spot, right mirror, rear view mirror, left mirror and left blind spot) and then indicator
2.Rear view mirror and then check blind spot you are going to turn to followed by indicator if it is clear.
3.Rear view mirror, mirror you are going to turn to and then blind spot the direction you are going to turn to and then indicator when it's clear.

So far, num2 seems the most correct (this is for the K53)

??
I'd go with indicator first, then check if the path is clear.
I want to go that way, I tell everyone about it.... then I check if it's at all possible... maybe some of them decide it's a good time to overtake me and speed up, giving me a larger gap to get in behind them. Or... they slow down and, by the time I check in the mirror, I'm good to go! Wink
Totally circumstantial, of course!
I throw the indicator and give everyone in the next lane about half a second to decide if they want to trade paint. Driving a POS has its advantages.

Just make sure you don't run out of indicator juice. Seems many in my part if the country conveniently forget to check this when they drive.

Making training treats for tonight and watching the snow/white out. There is no way we are going. Yet here I am cooking and dehydrating.

Texting and reading the forums. Hopefully, I don't post here, what should have been a text and vice versa. ^_^

Watching the Iowa town hall thingy. Being confused by all the name changes.
