You didn't do it but it's common for people in these discussions to say something doesn't work "at all" because they can find an example when it didn't work (see example in the post above). Those examples only show that something isn't perfect. It doesn't address whether people are better off doing something than not.

Of course. Though, it might be possible to over-do it. If you are confusing, then drivers have no idea what you are going to do.
