Easy roundabout question stumping Aussies

It is one of the most basic Aussie road rules, but it appears to be both stumping – and irritating – drivers across the country.

A basic Aussie road rule about roundabouts has been stumping drivers across the country.

The Royal Automobile Club of Queensland (RACQ) released its weekly quiz, this time asking Australian motorists when they should indicate when using a roundabout.

Motorists were asked what indicator should be used by the blue car approaching the roundabout and intending to take the third exit

Four options were provided in the quiz:

A) No indicator on approach and driving in the roundabout, right indicator when leaving.

B) Right indicator on approach and driving in the roundabout, left indicator when leaving.

C) Right indicator on approach and driving in the roundabout, no indicator when leaving.

D) No indicator on approach, right indicator when in the roundabout and left when leaving.

The RACQ released its weekly quiz focusing on when to indicate at a roundabout.

The correct answer is, of course, B.

The post on Facebook has generated over 1200 comments.

And while the majority who answered were correct, many lamented the inability of road users to get it right.

One person wrote that “most people in real life don’t do it”.

Another woman wrote: “No indicator at all seems to be the rule where I live.”

Meanwhile another complained about “the amount of people I see indicating right to go straight ahead on a roundabout”.

One person noted that 95 per cent of responses had the correct answer but still “nobody indicates correctly when they are at the roundabout in their car”.

“They either don’t indicate or indicate incorrectly,” they said.

The RACQ runs the weekly quiz on its Facebook page in a bid to educate motorists so they can become safer road users.
