I'm Kind Of A Professional Driver (Turn Signal Meme)

how I feel using my turn signals to indicate that I'm entering the turning lane when I barely see anyone else doing the same.

This is an image macro meme consisting of two sections: upper text, and a still frame from the 2011 movie Drive below. The top text reads 'how I feel using my turn signals to indicate that I'm entering the turning lane when I barely see anyone else doing the same.' The image below shows Ryan Gosling as the stoic unnamed Driver character, sitting in the driver's seat of a car, gripping the steering wheel with a calm, serious, subtly smug expression. The joke comes from the relatable feeling of being proud of yourself for following basic road safety rules (using turn signals) that most other drivers neglect, making you feel like an exceptionally skilled, responsible driver even for performing a very basic required action.

This meme originates from Reddit, shared in meme-focused subreddits with the original title 'Yea, I'm kind of a professional driver.' It uses a widely circulated reaction image of Ryan Gosling from the 2011 action drama film Drive, which is commonly used online to represent quiet confidence or a sense of understated superiority for completing mundane, expected tasks that are often ignored by others.
