This is the sequence:
1. Signal that you are going to turn or change lanes.
2. Brake or slow down if you need to.
3. Turn or change lanes.
That is the only sequence; do not alter it, and no steps should be omitted;
it shouldn't be all that hard to remember. Please get that through your
thick skulls.

It's not necessarily thick skulls. Tradition! Tradition! In Maryland
cars are required to have a flashing light system that is usually
referred to as a turn signal or, more familiarly, a "blinker."
Tradition here dictates that it be activated *after* turning or
changing lanes to signify "I have just made a turn," or "I have just
changed lanes."
Come to think of it, it's a bit like Twitter. First you do it, then you
tell everyone that you did it. Never mind that they saw you do it. In
Maryland you still need that signal *afterward* to say "I did it."
If you see someone here signal before making a move, five will get you
ten it's not a native Marylander.

It's not just Maryland; it's all over the country.
