Scott Abbot listed three uses for directional signals in Massachusetts --
	1) to tell which way you just turned
	2) to tell which way you are NOT going to turn
	3) to leave on to annoy people
I would only include a fourth reason -- decorative ornaments for the
	steering wheel.  This is commonly used in Boston/Cambridge.
