Re: Roundabout indicating

In any test I would do it pedantically correctly. That means not touching the paint, not signalling right, and being prepared to yield if another road user infringes my priority (whether from behind or from 9 o clock).
Let me offer another wrinkle. If at a mini roundabout the first exit is the one at 12 o clock, I intend to take that exit, and there is a vehicle approaching from 12 o clock, I would give a left signal on approach. You could see this as an early breakaway signal (nice expression, I had not heard it before), the purpose is to communicate to the driver approaching the mini roundabout from 12 o clock that he can proceed without conflict between us.
