Re: Who has a radar detector?

if this indicator-roundabout rule is so, it makes for practically ONE car on a roundabout at once because.....you have to guess if someone's staying or going.

If it's the law here then I suggest they change it
It's really very simple Lob. If a car is in the roundabout and not indicating, they are still going around. If they indicate after an exit, they will be getting off at the next exit. Therefore a car waiting at the exit after that sees their intention to exit on the previous exit and can then enter the roundabout, instead of waiting to see where they actually go.

In reality, the Swiss aren't particulaly good with roundabout discipline anyway, so I never trust their indicators. Most don't seem indicate at all in roundabouts. I guess it is because they all spent a small fortune on driving lessons...
