I see people putting on their turn signal which totally confuses me. e.g. If I am in the right lane and you are in the left lane at the same time, if you put your right turn signal on before we exit, I think that you are coming into MY lane. It is assumed that you are going straight through the roundabout unless you exit at the 1st exit from the right lane or the 3rd exit from the left lane.
true, thank you

It's a jungle out there
 
Crazed drivers are not unique to The Villages. Try driving on Longboat Key,
Sarasota or South Florida (FLL) this time of year. The old cold states'
population is coming south. FL is now #3 in population. Some will
meet their maker earlier than others. Take it slow we are all on finite
time.
Contractors are still the worst. Hit by Christopher Bailey.
The law and me are still looking for him.

Take it one moment at a time.

So if I'm going to the third exit I should use my left turn signal?

You're not turning right. You're simply staying in your lane.

My son lives in Palo Alto. That area can be a rush hour nightmare.
No, it's not like that all day. In fact back ups are unusual. Traffic here is very light and people for the most part are careful and courteous. You get the few that make mistakes and you the few that complain about traffic and round abouts all the time.

See how dumb I am, Walter????
Don't really get your point but yes, I see how dumb you are I guess. Maybe I'm Dumber than you. Somebody from Ohio must have been involved and didn't blow their horn to alert the other Ohio driver who wouldn't have known what it was anyway.

Please tell me where you were going with that remark.

That's good to hear. I have chimed in about circles and traffic thinking it was just a little busier towards Sumter. Yesterday I had to turn off the radio and roll down the windows and went into Philly driving rush hour mode.

If you are in the left lane....yes. If you are in the right lane no left turn.

Wow. There is never a case that one would use their left turn signal in a roundabout. A "best practice" according to the Sumter County Board of Commissioners is to always indicate your intention to exit by using your right turn signal. Even, by the way, if you are proceeding "straight" through the intersection.
