- use hand signals only.

I swear some folks have managed to turn off their "your turn sign has been on for the last 14 miles" warning that you mentioned. Maybe they tune their hearing aids to filter certain sounds (not ageist, just pondering)? Also, I've seen tons of late-model cars driving at night without illuminated headlights. It's okay to disable automatic headlamps, but then there's no warning that you've turned yourself into an invisible head-on collision? I'd say my turn signal sound deletion is pretty far down the list of hazardous ideas.
In the meantime, I'm going to play with the amp and stereo settings and see if I can't at least limit my auditory exposure to the Chevy's pernicious ways.
Any more ideas for me to try out?
