Left turn Signal
 
Happened twice, car with left turn signal on, turned right as I was planning to go around them. I will not go around a car now even if they indicate they are turning left. Yes I am 63 and decided I would become conservative/ safe. Two times that I almost collided with them was a lessen well learned. Do as you chose, but not me.

For some strange reason, the Spanish drivers, over here, put on their left turn signal when they're stopping. Dunno why. Just one of those weird things. :cry:

I haven't noticed that here on the mainland. However, roundabouts and traffic islands are a complete mystery to most Spanish drivers, practically nobody signals at any stage when negotiating them. A high percentage of the Spanish population in my part of the country seem to have a road sense on a par with hedgehogs and rabbits. Taxi drivers are among the worst and truck drivers the best.

Traffic circles! Gotta love those darn things. I grew up with them and know how to use them and when to signal. Sadly most folks are baffled by them and are a hazard to others. They are really just a round intersection to keep traffic flowing.

Ditto in the USA, traffic circles just are a novelty and "signaling on traffic circles" did not yet make it to the traffic lessons, I think.

Half of the drivers here never bother to use their signals anywhere.
