indicating at a roundabout
10 Answers
When going straight over a roundabout ...do you indicate just before you turn off.
I was told this isnt necasary (in 1987) However my stepson is having lessons and his instructor says he should be indicating as it is courtious. But is it Law?

Although many people hold the view that there is no need to signal if you are going straight ahead at, say, a four exit roundabout, I think that the more information you give to other road users, including pedestrians, the better.
So, although the law doesn't come into it, yes, I think you should indicate immediately after passing the previous exit.

Depends how big the roundabout is. If it is one of those vast ones that you find on multiple carriageway roads,I signal though I'm going straight on. They are so big that people won't know which exit I am taking because they may not have seen me entering. They need to be told which exit I intend to take. Most roundabouts are too small to give enough time for the signal to be of any use to anyone. The lack of signal and the positioning of the car tells them that I'm going straight on.
But however useless it is in any given circumstances, it makes sense to teach a young driver to do it. An examiner might wonder whether a learner signals randomly or not at all otherwise and young drivers haven't the experience to know whether a signal is necessary.
