Can't say I've ever noticed that.

I'll now have to go for a wee drive in the car to see if I can spot anybody doing it...

You must have noticed it over here? It's the law if you're on a signed priority road that curves to the left or right at junctions.

Do you really think my wife let me drive when I was in Germany?


Oh that's so touchingly naive.

I'm taking notes in case I actually meet her.

You're not actually going to tell her all the stories I've posted about her on here, are you?

There are some roads where you can see how it happens (i.e. where 'straight on' takes you on to a different road but the road you're on curves right (poor road markings don't help here), and I think some folk just err on the side of caution if they're unsure. Doesn't do any harm, but totally unnecessary at the same time.

Or indicate on a piece of road where you can only go one direction, e.g. going from Sth Charlotte St to Lothian Rd, no need to indicate right and then left as you can only go that way.

To be fair, I often do similar. I'm not indicating for other drivers, but for pedestrians who may well not know the lane markings and therefore the way I am planning to go.

Yes, a peeve of mine is when I'm out walking and drivers not indicating. Many drivers forget you indicate to let other road users know your intentions. Pedestrians are road users.

A lot of that behaviour is force of habit. I've seen myself hitting the indiciator coming out of the drive, I stay in a quiet cul-de-sac
