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.

Re: Left turn Signal
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.

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.

Re: Left turn Signal
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.

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