I agree. Unless the turn signals are spaced quite a ways apart, it's going to be hard for a motorist a hundred feet behind you to know what you're signaling or what your intentions are, because they'll just be seeing a blinking light. The lights would have to be spread out a couple feet apart like motorcycle turn signals, but I don't want a helmet with moose antlers. Might be different if the driver is right behind you, but even then I wouldn't count on them understanding the turn signal. I can't even count on them understanding hand signals.
