I've got a theory. It appears that New Hampshire has become, in recent years, a more feminine state. I don't mean effeminate, I mean feminine. Simply put, there are increasingly more female New Hampshirites than male. Just look at the map above (from this source here.) Now, I can tell you that from a male perspective, the first thing most guys will say in reaction to this information is, "Cool!" It's just the way men think. Upon hearing this information in fact, most men will immediately begin fantasizing about hordes of desperate young, attractive women pursuing them. We can't help it. But one problem for New Hampshire men in particular is that after being subjected to this knowledge -- and the attendant testosterone-driven fantasies -- for extended periods of time, well, they lose the ability to commit. Why commit? What if there's a hottie just waiting around the corner? Would you commit?
One unfortunate side effect of this behavioral quirk is that this inability to commit eventually extends into other areas of their lives, which explains why New Hampshire men won't use their turn signals: they're afraid to commit. They know they have to turn left, but what if another opportunity suddenly presents itself? Why take the chance? This, I suspect, is why New Hampshire men will drive straight and narrow but then suddenly swerve and turn to one side with no warning, and certainly no turn signal. These poor drivers are a victim of their own abused libido.
