DrivingWIMB: Do you always indicate just before you take an exit on a roundabout

[World's End Stella]

You see, the problem is that you were in a foul mood and didnt indicate. You are the original 'nutter' in this story.

Nah, difference between being lazy and slightly selfish and being a nutter.

People who do the road rage thing are nutters, driving etiquette just isn't that important.

It's not actually etiquette, though, is it? Indicating is actually road safety and basic driving competence. If you don't indicate when turning, you are an unsafe and incompetent driver. What is more, you are almost certainly likely to be in breach of the law.

It depends though, doesn't it? Changing lane without indicating? Dangerous, less so if you always check it is safe first. Not indicating on a roundabout? Less so as all you're really doing is inconveniencing the person entering.

I would put the latter in the 'in breach of the law and mildly irritating but not dangerous' category. Like speeding.

By your own admission you failed to indicate because you were in a foul mood. Your own rage led you to endanger your life and the lives of other motorists. That is road rage.

You are guilty.

There was no rage about it, merely indifference.

As for being guilty, so is anyone who breaks the speed limit.

Foul mood+offence committed= road rage.

I dont make the rules
