Indicating on roundabouts (feddit.uk)

I was always under the impression that on a “normal" 4 exit roundabout (i.e. two roads crossing), you would indicate left if going left, right if going right, and no indication if going straight on. Then whichever way you're going you indicate left when passing the exit before. However, a number of drivers indicate right when going straight on, which means I stop expecting them to continue around but could've entered the roundabout. Am I incorrect here? Was there a time when something different was taught?

Thats how i was taught too.

I also despair at people who have no idea what lane they should be in, for example traversing the entire roundabout in the left hand lane or whatever lane they decide will beat the traffic fastest so getting in the right hand lane to go straight on & cutting across everyone at their exit.

To be fair round my way the road planners appear to have a random approach to lanes with signs/markings saying use right hand lane for everything but left even at non-busy roundabouts so its little wonder people get confused.
