Martin Dixon expressed precisely :
Correct - Although on a roundabout with two (or more) lanes around it, I tend to indicate a little before then if I need to move over to the outer lane.
The problem is not those who give the correct signals, but those who do not. Those who do not negate and cause confusion to the efforts of those who do. No signal might mean you are intending to go straight on, or could equally well mean that you can't be bothered to signal and could be taking any of the exits.
It does rather support the idea of giving a right turn signal, up until you intend leaving the roundabout at which point you give a left turn signal, or a left signal on entry if you intend taking the first exit.
On some busy roundabouts, they really would have to sit there forever and hold up all the vehicles behind them. I at least can see the HGV drivers problem and never object to easing off whilst going round, to give them a chance to get out or even stopping to give them precedence. Much better to make life a little easier for them, than to push them into taking a chance on pulling out.

HGV blocks road 5601Conor He is right on this one I am afraid. The rule is to give priority to those already on the roundabout, it was changed...
