I'm seeing it more and more, and it annoys me. People indicating onto a round about. They approach the roundabout and indicate right, then proceed to go straight. Not only is it dangerous because other people have no idea of your intentions because you are saying you are turning right, but you don't. Now before everyone (well no one really because hardly anyone reads this :) starts saying that it's polite to indicate onto a round about, let me ask you this. You are approaching the round about, where else are you going to go? Unless you slam on your brakes, throw the car into reverse and do a GTA style spin of the car to get the hell out of there, we all know you are going to enter the round about, how you are going to exit it is any ones guess, that is where Mr Indicator comes in, which you just turned on to say you're exiting the round about right.
EDIT: It's ok to indicate if you are turning left/right on the roundabout. But if you are going straight and you indicate right to "enter" the roundabout. This one is for you.

It's OK if you're taking the first left or turning past straight though!
I care more about people who don't indicate to LEAVE a roundabout. ALWAYS indicate left to leave a roundabout. It's so annoying to miss out on a gap because people are too lazy to indicate correctly. Causes no end of traffic issues near where I live.
Queenslanders are shocking drivers ... Sydneysiders are aggressive, but at least you know where they're going and they don't drive with blinkers on!
You Qlders are strange.
Yes I should add I do mean it's ok if you are turning left/right. But if you are going straight through and you indicate right to "enter" the round about that is just wrong. So many people here do it.
Scott - maybe so, but I bet you miss us!
