Roundabout Etiquette
77 Answers
I am having a disagreement with my sister-in-law over this.
We have a simple roundabout...ie with exits east, north west and south.
When she is going straight on at a roundabout, she signals right and then changes to signal left, just as she about to exit the roundabout.
That sounds daft to me ! I stay in the left lane ( if there is one ) and then signal left as I pass the penultimate exit. I maintain that by signalling right, she is confusing the driver than may be coming behind her, who might be led to believe she is really turning right.
But I may be wrong of course !

I'm with you but think some of you are being harsh, I'm pretty sure that right then left indicating for straight on at roundabouts used to be taught yonks ago. After all those who do it must have learnt from someone else.

MM...they are a part of life here in South Wales !
On a related note.....I once had the misfortune to have my negotiate my way through Basingstoke......I can honestly say I have never seen so many ruddy roundabouts in my life.....it was if the Town Planners keep putting their coffee cups down on the plans in the 1960s and they kept leaving rings !
