Indicating right when going straight at roundabout

This is the rules now.

Used to be you had to indicate right till about half way through then indicate left to get off.

Now they have made it just indicate left to get off. that makes more sense than it used to.

my dad does the same thing everytime no matter how many times tell him not to he still does it...

It's funny actually. I noticed my old man doing it a few times (he's one of those old grumpy bastards who thinks because he's been driving on the road since the horse was invented, he owns it).

I hit him up about it and he actually said it was because the law was recently changed! He indicated on exit only and since the law had changed he thought that's what you did now! Brilliant!

So I hit up a few more people and they thought the same thing.

I had to re-edumacate them with a blackboard, chalk, and 2x4 (didn't really use the chalk much).

I wonder how many other people were doing the right thing and now are up the shit?

When approaching a roundabout, put your hazard lights on. Turn them off immediately you exit the roundabout. That keeps everybody happy.

my bike doesnt have hazard lights, should i try just using the horn instead?

In that case, take both hands of the bar and wave frantically.

Well, in HB, the Police don't worry about whether you do or don't indicate around it. (that's one for them - yahoo)

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?

Mate. I've no f'kin' idea but it drives me nuts too! And what's with people who have to come to a stop before checking if it's clear to the right? How hard is it to check as you approach. Wankers.
