    Indicating right when going straight at roundabout

    How many times do you approach a roundabout, take a quick look and find that you have to stop as somebody entering from the opposite side is indicating right. So, diligently you come to a stop, and you find that the fuckwit that is indicating right is ACTUALLY GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH!!! GRRRRRRR!!!! Why do people do this?

    I thought 9 out of 10 people didn't indicate at all, I now just assume everyone at a roundabout is going to do whatever the hell they please and react accordingly.

    Stopping at roundabouts?

    Now that's a new one on me.

    I just go a bit faster or a bit slower so I don't have to stop.

    It'd have to be a very small roundabout for me to take any notice - they'd be too far away to be a threat otherwise.

    Of course, that doesn't make it right.
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    Pretty much this guy.

    Stopping right in the middle isn't a rare occurance, either.
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    Many people lack the intelligence to indicate correctly.

    Corrected for truth.

    Also do they grow plants in the middle of the roundabout for the purpose of causing accidents, or is that just a brainless oversight aswell?

    Your ment to indicate your intention to leave the round about so one would assume that your only going to use the left indicator.

    I think it's more that most road users just don't understand what they are for.

    I hope noone on here actually relys or trusts car indicators?

    This would be the fastest route to becoming 'road kill'.

    Most car drivers I see do not indicate. They just signal the manouevre they are already in the process of making.

    TOO FARKIN LATE MATE !!!

    Roadcode says if you're going straight through you don't indicate until you exit the roundabout, which should be a left signal.

    I have no idea why so many roundabouts have such tall vegetation as visibility is dramatically reduced. So much for safer roads.
