Not indicating

I've seen a few people recently who genuinely seem to think that you indicate right to signal your intention to leave a roundabout. They don't indicate and then start indicating right as they leave!
Also many in left lane, indicating right but end up going straight on!Lil_Red_GTO said:

My ex girlfriend’s dad used to do that. I was too scared of him to say anything though
Then theres those who are driving along, brake, then at some point (if at all) before they turn, they put the appropriate indicator on.
So for that period of time - you've no idea whether they're braking to stop, braking to turn left, or braking to turn right.
People seem to have forgotten - Mirror, indicate, maneuver, where braking is part of the maneuver.

Yes you know whom they are, the sort who you give way to at a roundabout to find they sail off left meaning you stopped for nothing. It's not particularly dangerous but it's so frustrating. Please make it stop!
You’ve just described almost the entire population of Italy. In their defence, it must be difficult for them as one hand appears to be obliged to be holding a ‘phone at all times.Deep Thought said:

Manoeuvre, signal, mirror seems to be commonplace these days, with the guilty parties thinking an indicator is not just a flashing a bulb, it's absolute confirmation of their right of way.We have this at the little mini roundabout heading into the shopping centre in Oban.
Folk driving in approach the T junction/mini roundabout and most, probably 90% will be turning left. Most indicate but some don't and you just know they're going to turn right. But they don't they turn left. The ones turning right tend to indicate.
