The problem you have is driving a car is a privilege and not a right. They can tell you to install turn signals and those laws can be retroactive. Turn signals are for you safety. Hardly anyone understands hand signals any more and no one can see hand signals at night. In reality your insurance company could demand you put on turn signals and you would have to do it or they could cancel you policy. None of us like government intrusion, but there is common sense that can affect your own safety. I have turn signals on every one of my old Fords, because I don't want some nitwit to run into me because he doesn't see my hand signal or doesn't understand a hand signal.
