If you enter a round about at six o'clock in the right hand lane and exit it at twelve o'clock in the same lane, you have not left your lane and you have not made a turn. It's nothing more than a curve in the road.
Does Florida law say anything about this? Maybe there are special rules for turn signals in round abouts.

I briefly signal when exiting, whether it's the first, second or third exit. I mostly do it from the right lane as a courtesy only to the folks waiting to enter. When in the inside lane, I signal just to make anyone behind me aware of my next move.
Often people from a different entrance than me rush into the right lane and may not realize that I will be legally exiting from the inside lane based on where I entered.
If folks would just pay attention to the giant lane signs on approach it would solve a lot of problems.
So many enter in the inside lane and cut off the outside driver to exit at the first exit.
