Comment on Whats a good etiquette to show you are doing a U turn in a left turn, so the cars behind you know?

Appreciate all the responses so far. I forgot to mention some background:
-
This isn’t a place with sensible driving. Yes, there are reckless drivers everywhere, but that’s another story.
-
Blinkers and right of way basically don’t exist here. Cars aren’t the only things on the road. It’s usually bumper to bumper all day long.
-
Traffic lights have a numeric countdown, which is fine. But the system somehow thinks 15 seconds is enough for 20+ cars, bumper to bumper, to complete a left turn and clear the intersection. So yeah, that’s why there’s a real risk of collisions.
Back to the OP, I’ve noticed some drivers do the following:
-
Zero fucks given, just make the U-turn like they own the road (99% of the time).
-
On rare occasions, some roll down their window, honk, and point left. Others just honk.
