Dashcam Finland - April 2018

[@Dylanesque]

Here's a good idea for all drivers in Finland. When approaching a roundabout signal your intentions. Taking the third exit, signal you're coming round and not using the second exit. Take the guess work out of other drivers lives. And keep the traffic moving. That's the purpose of a roundabout.

[@DashcamFinland]

In Finland you aren't supposed to signal before entering a roundabout. You also aren't supposed to signal to go around, only signal when leaving the roundabout. This differs from other countries.

@@DashcamFinland Not being taught to signal your full intentions when negotiating a roundabout is a failure of the driving schools then Indicators are there for a purpose and they should be used for the purpose they were designed for. Perhaps the driving schools should reassess their methods of tuition and rectify this matter accordingly?

[@DashcamFinland]

Not up to schools. It is the law.

[@Dylanesque]

@@DashcamFinland Then the law should be reassessed, surely? Particularly so if problems from existing laws can be considered flawed.

@@Dylanesque Why exactly? When You're entering a roundabout, You come behind a triangle-sign which means that You must avoid other road users those are in the roundabout already. After entering a roundabout, others (entering) must avoid You. You signal when You are about to exit from the roundabout. Nothing difficult and works as a treat if everyone just use their signal like they should. There is a plenty of time signal to others that you are about to exit.
