in nsw country towns drivers are still using round abouts without indicators
it is no wonder city people tell us country drivers are the worst in the australian country
why are the police not charging them
and some of the cops believe the round abouts are to small to even bother using them indicators

Oh Redskin253 I have "played" round abouts in the ACT for about 20 odd years and I can tell you it was a nightmare negotiating those two lane round abouts. Most people don't know that you need to be in the outside lane if you are either turning left or going straight ahead. It is the B nuts that stick to the inside lane at all cost (comfort zone maybe?) and then tuck over to the outside lane to go left or go straight ahead from the inside lane??? Indicators go off like fireworks and no one knows what anyone is doing or where they are going. I used to have to negotiate 3 "terror zones" on my way to school and I can tell you it sure got the adrenalin going - I was well ready for a class of 6th graders! I now live in Adelaide and again round abouts are a problem. Only use indicator to turn off the single lane round about no exit indicator needed. I must be cursed by the things I now live where there are 3 to negotiate to go to my gym and 3 to take my hubby to the clinic? Actually now I am in so much of a spin I'm not sure if I got the rules right!
