Indicating by rote?
Discussion
I was wondering what's the PH consensus on indicating when there doesn't seem to be anyone around to benefit?
Should you always indicate, say, when exiting a roundabout? One argument is that there could always be someone you haven't spotted - but is there also a danger that 'habitual' indicating could become a poor substitute for adequate observation?

Good points Rob, and I appreciate the comment regarding searches!
There are a couple of times when I'm not sure indicating is really necessary:
a) Joining a motorway via a regular slip road - why indicate right (or even left, as some people do) when there's nowhere else I could be going? Maybe more valid at night?
b) Motorway driving, returning to lane after an overtake.
