This is exactly what many drivers do.

"I hope your not going to suggest turning right from the left hand lane, or left from the right?"
Yes you do and can "turn" (exit) right from the left lane, otherwise you are just going to go around in circles!! While we're at it.....you can't "turn" left from the left or right lanes!!! I don't get what you are saying. Steve |

At that point you have the right of way because oncoming cars are to yield to cars in the roundabout.

Use my signal all the time yes even entering my driveway. In the Golf Cart I use both hand and directional signals. Someone actually told me it was against the law to use turn signals in the traffic circles because it confuses people. Really

I use my turn signal when I turn from one road to another, from a road to a driveway, from a driveway to a road, and to change lanes. That's pretty much "basic driving 101" up in Connecticut, it's on the written test, it's part of the driving test, and it's a habit most people learn when they're 15 or 16. Some forget, some rebel against it, and some think laws don't apply to their superior entitled selves. But the rest of us just do it as a matter of habit.

I wouldn't say it is ignorance or laziness. I don't use directionals in the RABs but I do use directionals every where else on all roadways.
Here is my two main reasons for not using directionals in RABs...... First of all, the RABs are so small, directionals are not really visible to folks when they are too busy navigating and exits come up so quickly, it seems counter intuitive to turn on the directional. Most importantly...........I NEVER EVER trust a turned on directional is truly a signal of intention. This is for RABs and also all other roadways, highways included. I always wait to see the car actually go into the turn or lane change for highway driving to verify that is the actual intention of the driver. Trust then verify is my mantra. I have seen way too many directionals blinking that did not indicate where the driver was actually going. Have you ever seen that? I'm sure you have. So, long story short....why bother turning on a directional when you can't really trust it anyway? This is defensive driving on overdrive but I much prefer to be safe than sorry.

I know many of you don't agree with that. But if you're yielding to both lanes of the roundabout before entry, and do not drive next to any vehicles within the roundabout, you're already handling the roundabout safely with or without turn signals. They're simply not necessary UNLESS there is a possible conflict that would have been avoided in the first place with proper roundabout driving. |
