Signal left when you’re turning left except when you’re only turning a bit left - I think that’s it.
Entirely unashamed anti car propaganda, and the more the better.

Over the course of time in this thread he’s backed himself into a corner where he absolutely cannot admit a car is at fault, ever. Even in a situation as blindly clear as the video that sparked this particular meltdown, the driver must be defended at all costs.

I made it quite clear the taxi driver was wrong to make that move.
The actual situation is that a bunch of people on this thread are so desperate to prove everything I say is wrong that they keep splurging forth an endless stream of demonstrable nonsense.

What’s wrong with a bit of ad hominem, you daft ninny? I can will also build a straw man to burn speeding motorists in while invoking the spirit of Godwin.Yep, third-rate Twitter clips and ad hominem slurs.

Could be a cyclist behind you who’s filtering on the left - you’ve not signaled so it’s safe to do so.

Great to know that the minority of people arguing on this thread who have actually managed to obtain a driving licence are shit drivers.
1. edcraw says signalling should be "automatic"
2. I reply citing the Highway Code says you shouldn't give a signal that could be misleading
3. I additionally reply stating that advanced driving courses teach that you should only signal if you can identify someone who would benefit and why
4. Everyone ignores these responses and continue to insist that signalling should be automatic and cannot be misleading.
5. I don't know why I bother, you're all shit road users who should stay at home and post about cats or the Tories or whatever, just not anything to do with roads.

The thing is drivers have always demonstrated their inability to identify anyone who might benefit from a clear indication of where the fuck they’re

How can indicating which direction you’re steering in be misleading unless you’re using flags badly or summat?

That wasn't an ad hominem.

Say you're changing lanes on a motorway, from the middle lane to the inside lane, but you're approaching an exit slip-road on the left. Do you signal to move into the left-hand lane?

I passed their test but I let my membership lapse, so no.
Mate - you the one not listening. You said someone could forget to signal and I said that’s obviously shit driving. You just keep coming on here making excuses for poor driving.
Yes, of course.

I dunno, I would never cycle in a motorway. I would imagine it would be quite hard signalling when you need both hands on the bars while concentrating on not dying.
But why wouldn’t you if you were driving. You use indicators to indicate

You’re a liability - how does anyone behind you know what you’re going to do if you’re not signalling.
So true!

If you've just overtaken a lorry and are going faster than them, how would they benefit from a signal? If there are no other vehicles gaining on you from behind or anything in front, what would be the point in signalling - can you tell me that?
If you do signal that lorry may think you're taking the slip road. There may also be vehicles on the slip road that want to change lane. Not very helpful if you signal you're approaching them when you're not.

Post your driving licence and I might bother engaging with you.
