Indicating at a Cul de Sac? (Restricted test)

[varminter]

Whoa, lets go back a bit, cars have indicators?? when did that happen.

It doesn't matter.

I'd indicate, and I'd head-check it as well - for the purposes of the test, and for the purposes of saving my ass from some dickhead behind me who thought he'd just nip into his driveway in front of me instead of waiting.

I had that happen to me, I was indicating and a bike shot up a driveway as I went around the end of a Cul De Sac, odviously a SMIDSY moment, after all I was only driving a white long wheel base VW Crafter, easy to miss... good job the VW had big mirrors.

Yep.. good aye! and one day people will learn what they are for

I'd go with indicate for the test. You lose nothing by doing that. Just like when I teach people to drive for the test they look in the rear vision mirror without moving their head, just their eyes as we all do. I teach them to do a little head movement for the test. Because the tester will check your eyes from time to time but if they look when you don't then they'll think you didn't look.

It's best to make this as simple as possible for them.

It's amazing that such a simple question can get 3 pages of responses. And counting.

Did the test today. I didn't end up using a cul de sac. Dude made me do a U turn on a narrow side street. Not easy on a RGV. But Passed

You mean you made us debate bullshit for fucking nothing?.....

hope you indicated while performing the u turn on a narrow road

[ellipsis]

...this would seem to indicate, that we are easily led..

Anytime you use a roundabout, you will have to indicate at least once.

In retrospect, I think you are right.

That road code page shows in the first picture, going straight through a single lane roundabout without indicating. However, under the heading 'Signal use at roundabouts' it says in every situation that indicators must be used, including in the situation in the first picture.

Typical mixed/confusing messages from the roading authorities!

I think the picture is trying to teach you you don't have to indicate when entering the round about to go straight through, don't confuse people by indicating left or right when that is not where you are going. But if you check the indicating to exit bit you will find when in the round about you always indicate your left exit at the entry immediately preceding your chosen exit, which also supports the rule that if you are going to go left at a round about you indicate left as you enter.

The number one rule regarding indicating in/on/at roundabouts is...
Don't believe other peoples' indicators.
