Two different situations, two different men performing the same manoeuvre.

You're going to have to explain that better, what are we meant to shake our heads wistfully at?

Quoted, because you'll no doubt sober up and delete the original biggrin

Surely you can be forgiven for ignoring stop signs when a tsunami is chasing you. Apart from that I've no idea what you're talking about.

I don't think he's pissed, he spelt manoo... maneo... manou... manoeuvre correctly.

You sir are the winner, well done.
I'd say for the Japanese driver it's more of a habit/assumption that one has to indicate at each direction change no matter what's going on around them. The bloke in the wonderful E4 coupe not only failed to indicate but also ignored the stop sign.

But we can't tell that from a photo.

Why does the driver need to indicate if nobody is there to see it?

How were we supposed to see that from a static pic? Indicators flash and the photo doesn't show what he done 2 seconds earlier.
Well, now we know, is this where we are supposed to slag off the standards of driving in the UK and proclaim how the Japanese are so great that even when they're about to die they still indicate? This is silly.

yes

Did he need to stop, or indicate, for that matter?
