You say goodbye, and I say hello...
Or more accurately, yell, "Hello!! What is wrong with you?!? Did you forget to insert your brain this morning?!? Or did you sneeze and blow it out through your nostril?"
A little bit of advice...hitting the brakes at the same time that you activate your turn signal isn't one of the brightest ideas.
The turn signals are there for a specific reason - to allow drivers behind you and oncoming drivers to know your intentions BEFORE they happen. A reasonable guidline is to activate the CORRECT signal (left arrow if you are turning left, right arrow if you are turning right) at least one utility pole distance prior to your intended turn.
And whatever else you do, make sure that there isn't traffic that has the right away over your intentions before you actually turn. (ie - If you are turning left, you aren't entitled to turn in front of oncoming traffic.)
Probably what would be most effective is to make sure that you have your brain turned on, and that all of your appropriate medications have kicked in BEFORE you get behind the wheel of your car. Then get the CD/radio choices set while you are allowing your vehicle to warm up (instead of while you are supposed to be driving).
And above all else, realize that if you hear someone honking, it is probably because you are pulling (or just executed) some boneheaded move like slamming on your brakes, using your turn signal, and actually turning, all at the same time.
Have a nice day!

I so much would like to have a V plow on the front of my truck and split these dummies in half!
I felt bad for these people. Just think, you buy a vehicle and the turn signals don't work. Now that I think of it, an awful lot of vehicles had that defect...hmmm.
