Because, and I have no idea why so many people don’t get this, you’re supposed to signal you’re going to turn, then slow down, then turn. That’s how you safely let anyone behind you know you’re going to do that.

Damn right. I was taught to give a minimum 3 blinks before turning. That also gives you time to look around for other vehicles/pedestrians before committing to the turn.

Yes, but also don't turn them on until the last car that was passing you is slightly in front of you, too many people that turn them on while you're still a bit behind, potentially in their blind spot, which can make you think they didn't see you and maybe even swerve as a reflex.
