> I don't always signal because cars have this flaw where you need your hands on the steering wheel and you have to take it off to flick the signal switch.

I think you know this is not true. You don't take your hand off the wheel to flip the signal switch and if you do it's certainly not the safe effect as taking your hand off the handle bar of a bike.

Not to mention that flicking the signal switch on a car takes a small fraction of a second, while removing your hands from the handlebar of a bike to signal is usually done for several seconds, not to mention at a particularly dangerous juncture: when entering an intersection and about to make a turn.
