I have NEVER seen a turn signal. I've been cut off when making a left from the inside lane while using a turn signal by people who are obviously going straight through the roundabout (bypassing the road that I was turning left on and exiting on the road I originally entered from). They were legally staying in the right lane to go straight and I was legally in the center lane turning left. Therein lies the problem. We were both in the correct lane for our intended turns and still almost collided. I yielded when I saw what he was going to do (he was behind me half a car length and I saw him in my right side mirror) and avoided an accident. I had my right turn signal on and felt that I was in the right of way. I started this post without thinking to search for others of a similar nature, and have since read the other threads. No one has mentioned this scenario. It is this situation that concerned me. I am not as concerned about right and wrong as I am about someone plowing into my wife's side of the car and injuring her.
