Traffic Island indication

[NS66]

Can someone explain to me why some people ( happened twice today hence the post ) on approaching an island in left lane indicate right ( heeds caution at this point) but go straight on? seems to me they think they its an island so need to indicate their direction but does seem odd to me.

I think he's talking about indicating right whilst following the road ahead at a roundabout.

Thanks for that - thought it might be an old style habit,

Trouble is or possibly a good thing is you dont know if they are going all the way around the outside of the island - so caution is very much required!!
