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

[Peter]

so that other road users know your intention and know - for instance - whether or not they can emerge safely or are you subhuman filth who deserves summary roadside execution?

Asking for a friend.

Yes, of course. Why wouldn't you? You would have to be some kind of massive ****.

The arsehole turning right at a mini roundabout who doesnt bother signallling wants ****ing stabbing.

Well that's what I'd have said, yes. However, some people seem to think it's an optional extra.

I can at least understand why sometimes people think it unnecessary. The problem is that it then becomes a habit. If you allow people to use discretion as to where and when they bother to indicate you are always going to get some **** who regularly makes bad, inconsiderate and potentially lethal decisions.

So it is best to just do it all the time.

It's just reflex for me. After all, it's important for your own welfare, too. If you've got some idiot up your arse and you're going to slow down and turn, you need to let the prick know in plenty of time.

As the sub-human filth that I am, I once didn't signal at all when going right on a roundabout, not the right signal as I turned or the left signal as I exited. Simply because I was in a foul mood and couldn't be bothered.

Turns out the bloke waiting to enter was a proper road rage nutter and he let loose a right volley as his eyes bulged out of his head.

Most amusing I think I might do it more often just to see the nutters react.

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.
