I norvegesi indicheranno religiosamente quando si esce da una rotatoria. Ogni. Separare. Tempo.
Clic. Clic. “Ora lascio il cerchio.”
Oh, grazie Ole, l’ho dedotto dal fatto che la tua macchina sta fisicamente lasciando il cerchio.
È come annunciare che hai finito di fare pipì.
“Vorrei informare tutti che ho finito con la cerimonia della minzione.”
Sì, possiamo vederti fare la zip, amico.
Ma lo indichi quando entri nella rotonda?
Dai a qualcuno un piccolo suggerimento sfacciato su dove stai effettivamente andando?
Fanculo no.
Silenzio assoluto.
Ti avvicini alla rotonda come se fosse un libro di Agatha Christie.
“Nessuno sa dove vado. Nemmeno io.”
Sinistra? Giusto? Dritto?
È come la roulette norvegese, ma in viaggio.
Ti siedi lì aspettando di entrare.
C’è una macchina in arrivo.
Nessun indicatore.
Pensi: “Forse stanno andando dritti”.
No. Girano a destra.
Aspetti.
Un’altra macchina. Nessun indicatore.
“Sicuramente questa andrà dritta.”
No. Tutto a sinistra.
Adesso sei invecchiato di tre anni. I tuoi figli hanno finito l’università.
È la cortesia più meravigliosamente inutile del mondo.

Rules are rules mate
>Norwegians indicate every time they leave the circle
>Norwegians dont indicate when they go left or right in the circle
Pick one
So in the roundabout you can only turn right. Left turns are illegal.
Seriously, why is it so unbelievably consistent here? I used to work in the postal service and spent several days actually tallying up whether people indicated properly and it was a sub 50% hit rate. I had to take a driving lesson to get my Norwegian license and I’m quite sure they made a point about how to correctly indicate, so it’s not like they’re being taught incorrectly. It’s incredibly bizarre and infuriating.
In Rogaland the norm is to use the indicator when approaching the roundabout.
(Not everybody does it, and I will judge you for it)
So this is a rant about some people being bad at indicating? Ok.
Norwegians hardly indicate at all in my experience
In a roundabout like this, it doesn’t really matter how/when people enter. You’re interested in the section before you, not what happens at the other side. After a while you also can tell by speed and placement where people are going and look at that more than the blinkers.
You’re not supposed to indicate “when entering”. It’s recommended that you indicate if you’re going to the left, though (the last exit). But it’s only *a recommendation*. It’s not the law. And to be honest, a large portion of people using their left blinkers while still being inside the roundabout are clueless when to use it, so they will be using the indicator and then surprisingly they use an earlier exit anyway. You can’t win.
Personally I’d rather see that people don’t blink to the left so I don’t enter the roundabout early just to almost crash with someone that wasn’t going to the last exit anyway. And if you crash with someone mis-blinking, depending on *when* you crash in the roundabout you might still at fault due to the way-of-right.

From the olden days you were only required to indicate out of the roundabout.
Indicating your intended direction is probably 20 years old.
I have no idea why but we suck at roundabouts. I drive quite a lot for work and I’m convinced i will get an aneurism before i turn 40 from people not Indicating.
We suck at this!
>“No one knows where I go. Not even me.”
Yep, we decide to take the exit when we see it.
