Could've saved money years ago on a new car ...

but I wasn't told about a certain option that seems to be on all cars in showrooms, but apparently does not have to be in the car when it's sold.

Now I may be all wrong here, but I've noticed an increasing number of new cars on the road that seem to be missing what I think is a crucial piece of equipment. I use this equipment every time I drive. In fact, I can't get three blocks from my home without using it at least once. But there are so many cars out there, and they're in driving situations where this option might be a life-saver (literally). But I guess they saved a ton of money by refusing to have it installed. I can't see any other reason that explains their driving behavior. I know that if the car were equipped they'd be using it. I just never knew it was an option. The equipment I'm talking about is ... the turn signal.
