    Super duper wrong.

    Roundabouts

    What exactly does the rule require me to do at roundabouts?
    You must signal where you intend to exit the roundabout upon your approach and give way to all traffic that will cross your path from your right as you enter the roundabout.
    When leaving the roundabout, you should signal left as you pass the exit before the one you intend taking.

    from http://www.landtransport.govt.nz/roa...s.html#general

    You might ask 'How do I signal my intent to exit straight ahead'? You don't use any signal. As has always been the case.

    Its people with your thinking that infuriate the begeezus outta me when they do indicate like that - especially if I have stopped to give way to them.

    As Gubb says - it is a simple concept - and I know its already been explained but I will add my 2c.

    At roundabouts:

    When turning left, signal left, turn left.
    When turning right, signal right, turn right, as you approach your exit from the roundabout, re-indicate your intention to leave the roundabout by signalling left, take your exit.
    When going straight through, do not signal, enter the roundabout and as you approach your exit (while in the roundabout) then indicate your intention to leave the roundabout by signalling left, take your exit.

    easy ay???

    Here's a wild idea, now that you know the right way to do it, try that instead. Perhaps you can lower all of our ACC levies by avoiding that accident that you may cause...

    Mate,I don't think like that,I've been on the otherside of roundabouts where many folks have indicated right,me waiting for them to pass me only for them to suddenly shove the indicator left...usually the blue rinse cage driver variety...but yeah,point taken.

    I always use my indicators unless there are no other road users about. After I turn a corner I habitually cancel my indicators...even if I haven't used them...just a habit...change up, cancel indicators...just in case.

    I've been seeing this done and hearing people believe this an awful lot. Since you believed it until the kind denizens of KB educated you otherwise could you please please tell me where this stupid, annoying and dangerous myth originated? i.e. who told you it was the law?

    Cheers.

    I get friggin' frustrated if I'm a passenger and the rider/driver doesn't use their indicators properly, also other road users for that matter.

    But then I find I dont use them properly either sometimes- though I do try and they are used properly when they have to be.

    Since I am a n00b learner I find it really hard to use the gears while concentrating on clutch, accelerator, gears, direction, balance, road position etc etc... They are way harder to use than a cage until you get used to it.
