Road User Rule

Clause (5) and (6) do not say anything about a 3 second requirement

2014/2015 Road Code for Motorcyclists - Page 170:
If you are going straight thought a roundabout:
> don't signal as you come up to the roundabout
>signal left as you pass the exit before the one you wish to take. At some small roundabouts, it may not be possible to give three seconds warning, but it is courteous to give as much as you can.

Now, the way I read this is that the three second warning does also apply at roundabouts when possible.

You always indicate when exiting a roundabout (indicate as you pass the exit prior to yours). When turning left, indicate left all the way through. Straight through, only when exiting. Turning right, indicate right until you pass the exit prior to yours, then indicate left.

So many people indicate right and then left, but that's when they're going straight. Or the indicate right but not left to exit the round a bout...also when going straight.

So, who indicates when no-ones around?

Me, it keeps the habit strong.

Fair play, I disagree on how that should be interpreted. The reference to three seconds is added as a clarification to the bulletpoints, the bulletpoints reflecting what is required in plain english.
The clarification is added because giving three seconds is a requirement elsewhere, so here it clarifies that it's not.

At the end of the day though, legislation doesn't make it a requirement and the disclaimer in the road code says that legislation takes preference over whatever the Road Code might say. So "technically" the 3 seconds goes out the window at roundabouts

I've always thought when exiting a roundabout that the 3-second rule applied (once you pass the preceding exit), but I concede the point on reflection of your reply that the rule is to indicate as you pass the preceding exit.

Look, the requirement to use indicators in a roundabout is law, it's something you have to do. However, arguing the 3 seconds in a roundabout simply isn't practical or feasible. Part of using indicators is to provide information to other road users.

So many people indicate right and then left, but that's when they're going straight. Or the indicate right but not left to exit the round a bout...also when going straight.

I remember following one car into a roundabout. They indicated left, then right, then hazards and then went straight through...

Gremlin, you arrived at this party too late. I conceded the point above.
