Yep,...and that i do! About the most dangerous times are crossing intersections, where i have to be very mindful of any driver in the right hand lane behind me wanting to take a right turn. I often wave them forward and wait for a clear spot to cross.
The worse ones are the ones who DON't have their turn signal on! :-(
The driveways are not usually busy,....so less of a concern usually.
