Nothing wrong with a early signal if no other turn is available. See that lane you wanna merge into and planning on swiftly flooring it with a .5 sec signal to follow? If you are thinking about merging signal it so every driver around you has multiple seconds to realize it. Makes for a safer experience. I share the sentiments of this post in My bones.

Also way easier to get let in, changing lanes toss it on ASAP and lots of people will easy up or speed up to let you in

An early turn signal is like a head start in Mario Kart, you may not need it but it always feels good to have it.

I was taught to start signaling at least ten “clicks” before your turn. Not sure how much time that is but it’s enough to notify everyone around you.

10km? Or am I misunderstanding a click?

If someone signaled that early I would assume they just forgot to turn their signal off. Which is annoying because there's no way of knowing if that car is going to change lanes or turn, or not.

I assume he meant the clicks your turn signal makes as it blinks on and off

Exactly what I think he meant. But some clicks are hella slow and super fast. I’ve never heard of that as a measurement but it makes sense.
