Sometimes I think even cars should have an "I'm not turning" signal...
As others have said, I also don't signal that I am continuing forward. Cars assume you are doing so unless you signal otherwise - which is what they do for each other. Accidents happen when someone doesn't signal a turn or slowing/stopping (i.e. brake lights out). Annoyance happens when someone leaves their bloody turn signal on for 30 miles....
