Last night Mrs d said she needed to set the alarm to get used to being for work again.
Guess who’s still in bed ?

Drivers that turn on RH indicators at a roundabout and then forget and promptly turn left without warning at first exit.

Drivers that turn on RH indicators at a roundabout and then forget and promptly turn left without warning at first exit.

In fact, people that turn on their RH indicators at all, when on a roundabout.
It's a one way system where everybody is going clockwise, i.e. to the right.
It should only be necessary to indicate left as the exit is approached.

People who don't indicate right when turning right on a roundabout.

Not even then, if the lanes are marked properly

When I was taught it was always signal right until you go half way past the turning before yours and then you signal left.

Nothing worse than someone looking like their going off the roundabout because you can't see their left signal (from the turning their going round) only for them to go all the way round without a right indicator.

I hate that, I always think the person is in the wrong lane and wants to move to the right

The problem is that most of them are still indicating right as they leave the roundabout!

I've lived in Hertfordshire for 25 years - roundabout ground zero, I believe. Most have poor line markings. Those that have good lines are largely ignored. Indication is mostly random, if given at all.

As a BMW driver, it's unlikely you can see their indicators!

not all roundabouts have more than one lane...

indicate you want to come off after the junction before yours .. and signal right if going right.... straight over no need to signal right

First thing I was told when I started training was Never..ever..say straight over the roundabout because, sooner or later, someone will.

The above pictorial representation is, of course, correct.
Sadly, according to the last research some years ago, up to 80% of people get it wrong at some point.

Is that Milton Keynes, roundabout capital of the UK. Always good for a laugh !

We have a roundabout where traffic entering at 6 o clock to go off at 3 o'clock can use both offside AND nearside lanes when entering !
No lane markings when on the roundabout . Just advice to use both lanes on approach to roundabout.
Need signals there would be folly. So far, I think, there hasn't been a serious RTA

Edit.

If the blue car is leaving the r/bout at the next exit and the green car is leaving the r/bout at the next exit, why are they not in the same position?

Here's our brand new extended r/bout, complete with traffic lights
