People who are driving cars which don't seem to have indicators
especially on roundabouts. It's not complicated.

Going left? Indicate left.
Going straight on? Indicate left just before you come off.
Going right? Indicate right until you are about to come off, then indicate left.

I think I am the last person left alive who knows this.

Agree, the number of times I sit at a roundabout (particularly when turning right) not knowing when to pull out and trying to anticipate a driver's intentions by the position of their car drives me mad!!!

I agreed and liked this
I feel very middle aged now.

When can I complain about litter?

It's also rather irritating when people fail to indicate when changing lanes.

"Going right? Indicate right until you are about to come off, then indicate left. "
I thought you only indicate when changing lanes, if you in the far right lane to go all around the round about, you'll only need to indicate when moving into the far right lane and THEN indicate left when moving to the left lane going into your turn-off.

On the big, coming off the motorway type roundabouts yes.
But not on smaller, town, roundabouts.

I dont drive but have picked up an epithet for this
As a passenger in a car that was nearly pranged by another car approaching us and then doing a right turn into a side road right in front of us without indicating.
Mate yelled to the other older driver "shot off in the war was it?"
Me 'huh?'
Him 'His fucking indicator finger"
I got the giggles, and from then on if a car turns off a main road as im about to cross a side street and they havnt indicated their intention to do this, I always mutter those words

Grrrrr Fume Etc
Its always High end German cars as well. It seems that the German attention to engineering detail stops when it gets to the indicators. Not one BMW, Audi or Merc I've ever followed has a set of working indicators

Kind of agree
But if you think about it, it's odd to indicate right on a roundabout when you turn left to join it, and turn left to exit.

But from where you start you are ending up on the right aren't you?
Any way, you can't kind of agree, they are the rules.

BMWs
Don't come with indicators - they're optional extras that cost more than the particles of 'wedding' that turn any easy job of work into a specialist area justified in charging a fucking fortune.
