Who bothers with the Highway Code these days? It seems to be standard practice nowadays for motorists not to bother to indicate when changing lanes on a motorway, and not to indicate at a junction or at a roundabout.

| 18-1-2010 | I think the standards in driving are generally dropping in line with society as a whole. These days there seems to be a growing "I'm all right Jack" attitude among people in general but particularly with regard to driving. It's a shame really but we see it on the roads daily "...more | Freddie |
| 14-12-2009 | Why is it that people park so close to the shop to buy something fattening and unhealthy plus they probably live less than a few hundred yards away. I saw a car parked outside a news agents actually on an island ,what was worse there was an elderley lady sitting in the passenger seat,she was in su...more | gm |
| 14-12-2009 | The best thing is to tell them when they get out of their vehicle that you are concerned for their safety as their indicators do not seem to work it saves an argument and makes them feel a pra! | anon |

| 27-10-2009 | its a virus thats spreading, its also sheer inconsideration. I have had people pull out (and in ) in front of me, they might know where they are going but I don't. drives me nuts | milligan |

You are incorrect when you say "hand lane for left and straight on, right hand lane for turning right; it's not difficult". I'm afraid the reality is a little more complex.
As a general rule, The Highway Code states : "select the appropriate lane on approach to an...more | Congo |
| 17-10-2009 | Spot on Andy.
Roundabouts annoy me for a number of reasons. Few people indicate and those that do seem to get it wrong, few people use the correct lane: left hand lane for left and straight on, right hand lane for turning right; it's not difficult. but the one thing that annoys me more tha...more | Jason |
| 02-10-2009 | Maybe its indicative of the levels of laziness, ignorance and stupidity that seem to be epidemic these days but indicating is not rocket science. You signal to make your intentions clear to other road users. Easy.
Why do the hard-of-thinking have trouble with this concept? Oh,right - it requires a...more | Andy |
| 02-10-2009 | Good morning Mallory (or is it Mallory)?
I admit that I had thought it was a failure to indicate in that situation. Now, recalling back to when I did a hill start on my test. The whole indication thing came up when doing this during lessons and admit I didn't fail or get any minors when I di...more | Youthful Griper |
| 02-10-2009 | To be honest if I see someone indicating, I sometimes wait till they start to make that manoeuvre before I make mine, false indicating can be worse, an example here is waiting to come out at an island with some-one indicating to come off at the exit before my entrance, only to realise that the indi...more | Gainsborough lad. |
| 02-10-2009 | Hmm, seems there's another Mallory on the boards now. Thought I was seeing things for a minute..."When did I post that??" I've been cloned...At least this other Mallory can spell and use punctuation!
Anyway. Yes I indicate when there's nobody around, but it's purely hab...more | Mallory (the original) |
| 02-10-2009 | Youthful Griper morning to you,
That is OK and am you are quite correct, there are far too many that don't bother to indicate at all.
The parking scenario... to sit there with your indicator on whilst traffic is flowing by is a test failure. Indicating from the side of the road makes oth...more | Mallory |
