| 1281870 | 2012-06-16 06:19:00 | The original question clearly stated "AFTER" the roundabout, NOT before, NOT during. I certainly DO NOT indicate after I have passed through a roundabout. What would be the point? Maybe I am being pedantic, but I answered what the question asked :) Yup, you're being pedantic :) But yes, it would be pointless in the extreme to indicate after exiting a roundabout. |

| 1281871 | 2012-06-16 06:20:00 | That needs "flyovers'", lol. The London M25 ring-road is fantastic, loved the speed limit, yes we found the Poms' very courteous, back in 2003. Lurking. The M25 is a disaster back in the 90's I spent 18 months driving on it 5 days a week. What I deplore is the lack of a motorway from Nelson to Christchurch, and lets face it Auckland doesn't have real motorways either just dual carriageways, the way to tell is a motorway has a higher speed limit |

| 1281872 | 2012-06-16 06:46:00 | Well In note there are now three of us that don’t indicate after we have left the roundabout. I guess that is because our manoeuvre is a fait accompli and there is no need. But if you want to get tricky, try Melbourne and its “Hook Turn”. You pull into the far LEFT LANE to turn Right. Yeah, you need a drink or two before you drive in Melbourne. ;) |

You have a sense of Humour aye ! The M25 is known as the parking lot. It is clear you missed certain sections at certain times of the day when a 30 mph limit was in place which you were lucky to reach. |

What I deplore is the lack of a motorway from Nelson to Christchurch, and lets face it Auckland doesn't have real motorways either just dual carriageways, the way to tell is a motorway has a higher speed limit I think the speed limit was 75 mph (120kph) back then, I see it was dropped to 60mph (100kph). Bl**dy narrow roads out in the western counties, but the edge of the road concrete raised edging was a help in keeping one on the straight and narrow, lol. Lurking. |

I better put you right on a few things! Since I lived and spent half my driving career on UK roads. The speedlimit is 70mph (115kph) on Motorways (they are the ones with shoulder lanes and few turn offs, 70mph (115kph) Duel Carriegeways (those with two lanes each side of the road and 60 mph (96kph) on all other roads not controlled by sset speedlimits. I spent most of my drivng in South West England where single lane roads and country lanes were quite common and the best part was 60mph was the speedlimit down a narrow country lane no wider than your vehicle with hedgerows even the tallest person struggled to see over. My most hated trips were to North London when it involved the M25 my prefered route was through to the North Circular road which actually was quicker most times. But then I also like my night runs from just outside Plymouth to just east of Liverpool up the A38, M5, M6 except that intersection of the M5/M6 at Birmingham. 466kms in 4 1/2 hours in a 7.5 tonne truck because it was the only Truck Size legally allowed to do 70 mph in the 4 1/2 hour driver hours window. Now driving in France especially around the French Alps now that is fun!!!! In one day we manged to do 3 countries narrowly missing a 4th :) |
