The only thing that irritates me on Cyprus roads is the few fools that indicate right on a roundabout!

Is that not correct if you are exiting the roundabout at the third exit?

I fvollowed someone yesterday who went the wrong way round a roundabout, to their credit, it was a quicker option......

If you drive round and around on a roundabout it simply means you’re going straight whereas all exits are a left turn. The only time you would indicate right on a roundabout is if you were planning to climb on the circle in the middle!

Isn't that how it is with roundabouts in the UK?

Well it's been a very long time since past my test, but in GB (and this may differ from the situation in CY), it's acceptable to start to indicate right, if you're going to turn right as you approach the roundabout, go on to the roundabout, still indicating right, and then cancel the right and indicate left just before your exit.

Oh and by the way BillC's advice to car hirers in CY... when in CY with the hire cars, only bother to indicate if the indicator switch is on the same side of the steering wheel as the cars back home, if it isn't, use the windscreen wipers to indicate...

And you lot have gall to complain about Cypriot drivers???

Bloody useless!

I think it's safe to assume he meant taking the right exit on the roundabout which you would do by entering the roundabout's flowing direction and following it right around until you get to the right exit from your entry point if you want to be pedantic.

I think that driving in Cyprus is fun.
