I think it's misunderstood because it was actually always the same, only they made a big song and dance about the rules 'changing' and so lots of people have assumed what the person you were quoting thinks.

I always use them (unless I'm in a pickle and trying really hard not to fall off). I've been in the car with a mate too many times who has your approach, and because it's not automatic, they do forget sometimes, and a 'oops sorry' when they've pissed someone off, is not good enough. IMO.

scratcha,
30's is a long time.
one could pass more than 1 left hander in that time with a blinker flashin hardout that you're turnin left'when you have only left it on for 30;s
sorry but it will take a bigger reason for me to use indicators than a hand signal.
fark,i must be ancient.

Most vehicles come with Owners manuals with full instructions on how to operate the indicator switch. Anyone too dumb to follow those instructions - is too dumb to drive/ride[/QUOTE]

Who the bluddy hell reads instructions?Most vehicles?2nd hand(which many buy)don't have "instruction"books...purleeezee...

You'd need to ask those that get it wrong.

1 Indicating left entering the roundabout and going straight through.
2 Indicating right entering the roundabout and going straight through
3 Indicating right after entering the roundabout and going straight through.
4 indicating left before entering the roundabout and going straight through
5 Indicating right before entering the roundabout and going straight through
6 Not indicating and going straight through.

And I have not mentioned the larger two laned roundabouts where those on the left lane who should be in the righthand lane and are turning right cut right in front of you. Lost count of how many of these dopes have nearly wiped me out.
