When I was in Portland 20 years ago, I found it very annoying that few cars in Portland would signal.
I think it is better now, but still, one can't count on it.
I suppose I've gotten lazy. I'll signal if it actually makes a difference for traffic flow, or my safety. But, don't bother if it doesn't seem to have much impact.
I don't know, I don't have all the details or a link, but I'm pretty sure Portland was just found to have the worst drivers in the nation for a medium- or large-sized city. No idea why this would be, as PDX is a city dominated by people who are not from Oregon. Almost everyone has moved from somewhere else, mostly SoCal and NoCal.
