Thanks so much. Had I not just read this, I probably would never have used my turn signals again.

Yes, you are right. They should be used. Guilty as charged.

But if I use my blinkers other people will know what my plans are. That stuff is top secret.

Only if they're from (or spent a lot of time) in New Jersey.

Most people really aren't jerks but some will be so surprised by the use of signals...
that like a startled wild animal you really do need to be ready for anything.

If they speed up so you cant get in it means there wasnt enough room for you to merge in the first place. Just because you signal does not mean there is ample room for you to merge and it does not give you the right to get in front of anyone.

They are called: "TURNING SIGNALS" BTW since they help the people BEHIND you KNOW what YOUR intentions ARE!
