Not that it's really exactly on topic but don't for a moment misinterpret If practicable as optional. The ruling is that you must indicate and it's a three point penalty if you don't (without valid reason). Road regulations are littered with the words If practicable and some are policed eagerly. It's like a hook turn in Melbourne CBD that has you turn right from the left (If practicable) and you'll be hammered if you don't. That's policed.il padrone wrote:[That rule is not policed because it is an 'optional' rule - to be done "if practicable"

In many little single-lane roundabouts in local streets, that have tight entry and exit, like this one that I have to drive through frequently, it is not practicable to signal and maintain safe control of your vehicle.jasonc wrote: living in Brissy I really appreciate the indicate on exit rule. it just makes sense. You always exit the roundabout on your left. So why the hell not indicate that intention?
And there are plenty in the inner suburbs that are even tighter than this.
Mandatory helmet law?
