A hundy to swap
sorry but after 20 years riding i still don't.took a while to do a seatbelt up too.
i'm scared shiteless about leaving a left hander on.
i do though hand signal.
i,ve noticed lately more people using them,also noted are more peep's leavin them on.
idea's, thoughts.

I use them when needed and not at other times. If I'm at the front of a couple of bikes and the opportunity comes to pass a slow vehicle quickly, i concentrate on that task first and foremost.
if i'm in town in a queue of cars i'll always signal
i reckon some of our road rules actually reduce concentration on driving.
speeding is a classic: how often do YOU look at the speedo? I reckon i look at mine every few seconds...........and for all those seconds i'm not looking at where i'm going
duh!
no occifer, i don't know how farkin fast i wuz going, i was too busy concentrating on driving well to the conditions.

I don't indicate when going straight through a roundabout,law says you must indicate right then left which is rubbish to me,otherwise I follow the law.Indicate when turning,remember you have turned(surely can't be that hard)push indicator in to turn it off.
Slapper?
30 something years of riding and always used them,methinks not using them could well be worse.Originally Posted by 96 600ss

How many peeps actually do at roundabouts?The way I see it,you indicate when TURNING...changing lanes is a different kettle of fish if ya wanna take that angle.Otherwise I see no valid reason to indicate at a roundabout.Unless your turning of course...Gah...! Thud.

Hmm.
Always, even when changing lanes on a motorway with no one else in sight.
Except on roundabouts.

You only indicate left out of the roundabout if going straight through.
Why is this simple concept so widely misunderstood?

Lots. But if you actually think that you use your right indicator to go straight ahead, you might be wise not to use them at all.

Ermmm not as I understand it...I've even been behind a Police car that indicated right then left going straight through...

He must have got a call out part way round. It is actually illegal to indicate right on the approach to a roundabout and then go straight ahead instead of right. The belief that the law is otherwise is due to either poor wording when the fucked up give way law was introduced or poor comprehension by a huge number of New Zealanders as I see it happen a lot.
In space, no one can smell your fart.

"If you are going 'straight' through 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 indication as you can."
