Default Why! Don't people use blinker lights

Model T when out of production 85 years or so ago and blinker lights became standard equipment options on vehicles in the 50s. I noticed less than 30% use blinkers especially in roundabouts.

I notice traffic can back up due to right hand turns don't use the blinker light and makes entering traffic to come to complete stop. I understand left lane would use it when the intend to exit the roundabout (which majority don't either)

I use mine all the time but feel like idiot being the only one most of the time in roundabout using it. Should I join the crowd and delay traffic?

Ok what's my point? I guess it may help traffic flow and that benifits all of us! And just may prevent few accidents?
