Bl00dy police...
Three cars sat at a three way bird p00 island, me indicating right, a car on the next junction indicating right, and a police car not indicating.
I'm sure you've all had it at least once when you all arrive at these tiny islands and all giving way to each other? We must have been sat
there for at least five seconds, until the police car decided to go.
Guess which way he turned...  I'll give you a clue, it wasn't right...

Normally I do, I don't know whether the presence of a police car was making me think twice... especially as I was going to have to give way to
him had he not turned left.

...and that few seconds bothered you enough to go on-line and moan about it?

probably more the point that noone on the road seems to adhere to simple rules such as indicating, checking blind spots, giving way etc. and on a
roundabout with three cars, the one NOT indicating was the police car who should be leading by example.
I get more and more annoyed with the amount of emergency services vehicles i see ignoring the highway code....

My driving instructor always used to say to me "If their staying, we are going, put your foot down!" haha. Always sticks in my head, even
if it was 20 years ago!

Yep, that was precisely my point. We get penalised for all sorts of minor offences, but the ones doing the penalising tend to be the worst offenders.

I'm actually beginning to think cars would be safer if we didn't have indicators as miss use of them is far more dangerous than not using
them. Every day on my walk to work I see people driving past my road, and the next road, indicating left because they want to change into the lane
that appears when the bus lane ends, they usually leave this indicator on as they follow the road around to the right (There's a fork and both
lanes can go right, but you can go left) and it seems to be the same story every where I go around here, I almost hit someone doing the same when
I'd turned around in a road and was thus blocking any chance of turning into it because they were indicating for a junction quarter of a mile up
the road (And had been for a while when they got to the road I was blocking). You shouldn't expect anyone to be signalling correctly.

Im currently in Sri Lanka and have been visiting for years and have never seen an indicator used, but it all seems to just sort itself out!

I thought the use of indicators was courtesy not compulsory!
