So there I was, out for a cycle, approaching a busy roundabout intending to turn left. A car behind me, so I gave a left turn signal with my left arm/hand. Sadly, I also had to brake, and steer, at the same time. Only having one left hand, I made the conscious decision to prioritise, and used it to brake and steer. Much to the annoyance of the driver of a BMW (how ironic!) waiting to come onto the roundabout from the road I was turning into, who shouted at me out their open window that I should indicate. Every day that passes, my patience for idiots wears thinner......
I never indicate left when riding my bike. I want them all to stay exactly where they are until I'm well out of their way, particularly when a vehicle coming from the opposite direction is intending to turn right ahead of me into the same road.
Signal before manoeuvring.

I have 12v indicators on my trike and drivers do take notice![]()
Oh, I didn't know BMW drivers knew what indicators where.
They know they are important for OTHERS, but, they are above such trivia![]()
I sumpathise with your intention; but doesn't this just result in you having a slightly peeved driver right behind you in the side road??
Sometimes you can't win!
