    I think that lots of people don't understand that indicating on exiting a roundabout is just as important as indicating on entering.

    • @megandunnett7900
      @megandunnett7900 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, the only people I see using indicators going off the roundabout these days are using the wrong indicator to do it as well (seriously, I’ve been behind people turning off the first exit and they put their right hand indicator on instead of their left, don’t know if the European imports are confusing them or not, but its getting more and more common).

    • @chrisbale7337
      @chrisbale7337 ปีที่แล้ว

      To be honest it makes no sense to me having to indicate as I go around the roundabout. In Europe we dont have this rule; we have no indicators turned on. We do of course indicate as we exit. In my opinion it confuses other drivers even more in double-roundabouts especially when you also perform a lane change.

    If going straight on at a roundabout you should try to indicate left when you have passed the last exit before the one you are taking. Even if, as shown, there's no exit it's good practice. It allows traffic approaching from your right to know your intentions.

    • @molsen06
      @molsen06 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I have no problem with the driver indicating left and going straight in the example given as there was no street on the left for the driver to take. The driver was indicating their intention to leave the roundabout at the very next exit, exactly as you are supposed to do.

      Yes, it's a pet peeve that people treat roundabouts like four way intersections and give way to vehicles approaching the roundabout from their right who are well beyond the give way line.
      The only vehicle "to your right" is the one actually on the roundabout.

    I like this series, it's a really good idea. I was not certain on the rules about bus lanes, now I know. The only thing I don't do is indicate to leave a round-a-bout. You know exactly what other drivers intentions are by just observing their tire angles and looking at their body language (where they're looking). It's called common sense. Almost a dead word in this day and age.

  • @jamesfrench7299
    @jamesfrench7299 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You shouldn't use the terms turning left or right at a roundabout. It should be referred to as taking the 1st exit second exit etc. That will remove any confusion with an intersection, so many have a problem differentiating.
    Oh btw good use of my previously submitted footage (double line u turn)

    • @doncoleman4938
      @doncoleman4938 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's how they describe instructions in advanced driving courses. "At the roundabout, take the third exit". Same for voice navigation. There's no such thing as "turn right at the roundabout" in Australia.

    • @NitrosDen
      @NitrosDen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Using the term taking first or second exit etc will not make a difference for the people who fail to indicate left to exit a roundabout. Everyone just needs to remember that when you are driving around a roundabout, ALL of the exits are to your left as you go around, not your right. It's really not that hard. The only time people could get confused is at a 5 way roundabout, otherwise it's pretty standard. Your Sat Nav is not going to say "At the roundabout, take the second exit, oh, and don't forget to use your left indicator when exiting the roundabout".

    • @alexwood5425

      I don't think this is a law but it's practical, I never go through a roundabout while next to a large vehicle like a truck or bus, some roundabouts are Badly designed and they have no choice but to intrude into your lane. It's safer to just drop back and overtake on the other side.

    • @NitrosDen
      @NitrosDen 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32 You are correct about the poor design but I hope you meant to overtake once you are through the roundabout. ;) You should NEVER overtake a larger vehicle that is turning or going around a bend. I drive trucks and buses and a lot of people don't realise how much the back end of a large vehicle can swing out over the line during a turn. Even in my car I won't drive beside a large vehicle on a straight road because half of them don't pay attention anyway and are all over the road.

      In Detroit I watched a guy use a right turn lane to blow through a red light and turn left from there right in front of a cop. I looked at the cop who was sitting in an adjoining parking lot, he looked at me, shrugged his shoulders and showed me his half eaten big Mac, then proceeded to continue eating his lunch

    Quick question for you. I'm planning on buying a 40 foot coach in Sydney and driving it back to Brisbane. As it will technically be a privately owned vehicle and not for fare paying passengers, can I still drive in bus lanes? If a cop sees me he'll probably just see a "bus" and not worry. But if a transport department officer was to stop me (assuming NSW has them) he might say "Bus lane only for vehicles used to carry fare paying passengers". Probably get people saying "why isn't this dick in the bus lane instead of clogging up a normal lane!"

      If you re going straight on the car opposite doesn't know you intend to exit do they? That's why you indicate left on every exit so cars don't sit waiting to see if you are going to cross in front of them.

    • @thegunner1984

      If a car opposite sees that you have no indicator on then they would assume you're going straight, so there would be no need to wait for them. Why would a car coming the opposite way need to see a left exiting indicator to know they're going straight? The fact they have no indicator on is sufficient enough to know they're going straight.

  • @compphysgeek
    @compphysgeek 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    indicating right at a roundabout is plain stupid, however, it's what the rule book says when turning right. Thing is when you enter or exit a roundabout, you can never turn right. you enter a roundabout going left and you exit a roundabout going left. While in the roundabout you follow the road and it's technically the same as going on a straight road and you don't indicate when going straight. You should only have to indicate left when exiting a roundabout, that way everybody knows what your intentions are. Saying on indicate when practical is similarly stupid because I'm normally always supposed to indicate left if I turn left or if I change lanes to the left, regardless of whether it's practical or not
