OP, you didn’t mention whether or not you use a turn signal when slowing down like this to make a turn. Surely you are. Right?

Maybe it’s a state by state thing and some don’t, hence the horn blares when holding up traffic to crawl through a turn.

On a related note, there's one intersection on my commute that has a nice dip in it that I have to take extra slow, usually the person behind me is up my ass, so when I clear it, I gun it a bit to get them off my ass. |

I use signals and everything, but some people are just so impatient.......it's not a matter of being too low, I just don't want to scrape and the people behind don't understand the concept. It is what it is but I just wanted to see if people were running into the same issue.......like I said I'm not going to take a turn into a parking lot with the speed of traffic.

Sum ppl don't understand. It's like ur trying to make a right to make a left but traffic is blocking u from making a left. The driver behind u is jus making a right n going straight.
Just driver point of view. Sometimes u gotta adjust so ur car can move a little faster. Unless ur willing to cause a little bit of traffic. |

OP I think your frustration is misplaced here. There is a reasonable expectation that someone will make a turn at a normal speed. If you slow down an abnormal amount (which you admit to doing) it will likely catch the person behind you off-guard and create a dangerous situation.
If I am behind someone and I see their right turn signal come on, I expect them to slow down to a reasonable speed and then make their turn. But if the person nearly grinds to a halt, lingering in the lane they are turning from, I wouldnt expect that and would need to hit my brakes harder and would probably end up closer to the vehicle than I would like. I may honk to let the person know of their dangerous move. If your car is that low where you scrape easily then I suggest either raising it up so you dont have that issue or live with the fact that you will get honked at and perhaps even rear-ended at some point if the driver behind you isnt paying close attention. |
