I use to work for a large outfit that would road equipment, near every day. Mostly on good rock roads. I did alot of this, while working with them. Anyways, I use to signal traffic behind me to go around, if I knew I was going to be making a left hand turn up ahead. That way, when I did make the left hand turn, I knew there wasn't anybody behind me and there would be no confusion by them as to what I was going to do. Of course I would do this, when I thought it was safe for them to go around. This of course being on rock roads where there was no signs or passing lines on the road center. I signaled a guy to go around one day, and almost caused an accident by doing so. I can't remember if someone pulled out in front of the guy, or popped over a hill at a high rate of speed. But it ended up being a close call, and an accident barely averted. After that, I never signaled for anybody to go around me ever again. That way if they do, whatever happens is on the person at fault. Whether that be driving to fast, or passing when they shouldn't, or whatever the case.
I know this doesn't relate to what happened in your accident story. But it's not a good alternative driving habit to get into, to prevent it from happening. If so, someday you could be signaling a guy to go around and cause the accident by doing so.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
