I wrote the line which is quoted at the top in response to Steve Firth's description of the road on which he encountered the Rover driver. He appeared to be describing a road with traffic moving in both directions with one lane for each direction, and my response was based on that type of road.
"Lane" was referring to each half of the road with traffic moving one way in one lane and the opposite way in the other lane. "Normally" was referring to the direction of travel of your car and the lane used by traffic travelling in that direction. The "wrong side" was referring to the other lane in which there was oncoming traffic.
No, that fact that it is required is an overrider. My desire to signal my intent may or may not co-incide with a requirement to signal my intent.
Thanks to my detailed explanation above, now you do.
Not my rules, I'm simply doing what I was taught and what was required on my test last year.
You've already demonstrated that your definition of a lane is at odds with the term as I understand it so you will need to describe the "3 lane SC" in more detail so I can picture what you mean. Then I'll be able to answer your question. I've not yet encountered a situation where I would want to signal to pbutt parked cars.
