yeah
I only got wind of it when I did an advanced car control course
refresher...earlier this year
and the friendly staff at Murcotts went thru the latest Vic road rules
and that was one of them....

cheers

How cool is that driver course Ian, I did the advanced about 11 years ago, thoroughly recommend it. Just don't have loose stuff in back of car, it flings all over the place when doing all the turns/stunts

cheers, oh and I don't indicate to go str8 thru a roundabout either.

looks like the one in Harrow (SE London)which also has
...traffic lights in the middle

there is also another one
UNDER the M25 motorway which has roundabouts
inside roundabouts with traffic lights
...pharked my driving first time I encountered it

i suggest some of you guys check out this link, from the vic roads

website, http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/vrpdf/rd ... nVicRR.pdf

specifically page 46, where it states that when going straight on a

roundabout you DO NOT indicate on approach, only indicate left

when exiting the roundabout, just like all the others states in australia (as

far as i know)

This is all well and good for a roundabout where you might actually have to turn, but we are getting more and more roundabouts that are just an obstruction in a perfectly normal suburban intersection. Anything bigger than a Mini fills them completely.

i reckon they indicate right to go straight and think to themselves haha made you stop

that would be okay if they only indicate left to leave the roundabout
