>>1954131You're a fool if you think this is more visible in any normal light condition.
Even a (poor) backup solution for night riding really. A braking feature on a taillight can be understood by other road users with enough variation in pattern and brightness but unless you have them mounted far apart turn signals will never be reliably interpretable from a meaningful distance.
>>1954138>>1954157Obviously, there are times when you want or need both hands for control (in the turn itself, over rather rough, loose, and/or wet surface) but if your bike is properly adjusted and you have even the minimum bike handling ability you should be able to give a well timed signal (before the action being telegraphed). Even a momentary one provides more information than none, but holding it for longer shouldn't be hard and giving yourself the opportunity to do so isn't difficult really. People ride with no hands on the bars at all so this is more an excuse to me when it comes to ordinary riding in built up areas with intersections. You can have whatever reason or preference you like not to use signals, but I think loss of control overestimated - the most common reason for the latter is typically people riding outside of their abilities.
