Turn signals at roundabouts;

• I usually see drivers using turn signals when they are approaching the roundabout, the one place you don't want to use them.
  
  
• Sometimes they put on a left signal, then I tell my wife, look at that guy he's turning left I got to see this, of course he doesn't.
  
  
• Then sometimes they put on a right turn signal, and I say, he's not going straight, he's going to the right, imagine that.
  
  
• As it turns out, when I see someone using turn signals at roundabouts, they're usually incorrect and I steer clear of them. The one time I see them as necessary is at the Morse and El Camino Real roundabout, and it's not for other cars, but for the golf carts to be warned I'm exiting and you need to stay where you're at and don't cross at this time. Otherwise, if drivers would just follow the published information and street signs, turn signals wouldn't be necessary in a roundabout.
  
  
  That's my opinion after driving here full time for 6 years. I also don't dally around, I drive at a brisk pace and without incident and I usually can avoid most hazards simply by being alert. Here's a dashcam video I shot 2 years ago on BV showing how I avoided an incident on this day at Stillwater roundabout.
