Hmm, you Brits indicate twice.

We just leave the right indicator on and let the clicker turn it off when we turn in.

All that matters is you know they're crossing your lane; when waiting, you should only act when they've committed anyway. Indicators don't mean shit.

Roundabouts are cool. Easy to use, (although we don't have those crazy multi-lane ones out here in Warshington) and they are fun to do donuts in when no ones around.

very very few, that's why we suck so bad at them... (that and because here you license comes in a box of cracker jacks.)


As soon as you said "I am learning to drive" its hard to take any of your criticisms of road ways seriously.... Report back once you actually know how to drive...

Only traffic circles I have seen here are in neighborhoods/residential areas and even then, I think they are only used as speed deterrents.

We've got them every 200 yards.

But we're smart enough to figure them out.

EDIT: And they're called ROUNDABOUTS you tards. Not 'traffic circles'.
I actually say "roundabouts" IRL a lot. I felt like saying traffic circles this time >_>

And yeah, thank god we don't have these:

I think that was just part of the animation, like how indicators flash every second.

No, they swap sides. Watch Red, he indicates right, goes around, and then leaves the roundabout by indicating left.

O yeah ofc we do that if we are turning right at a roundabout. You indicate right at the start so people know you are taking an exit to the right of centre, then when you get to the exit you should always signal it and turn into it.

In your city-within-a-roundabout roundabouts maybe, but in plain old four-ways you indicate once.

Neg I was taught to do it like Vilham said Cheeeeez.

In my test I had to.

But no one really does. It does make it clearer.

We have tons of roundabouts over here. Although multi lane ones are rare. You only have to signal once here and that's when you're leaving the roundabout.

In Vic:

No indicator = forwards/opposite
Indicator right = Turning right
Indicator left = Turning left

We don't get more than 4 exits, and no indicator light changes.
