Why don't people indicate in car parks?

Answer 1

Because they're bad/lazy drivers to start with! indicating just comes natural to any decent driver.

Answer 2

You are quite lucky if it's only in the car parks that they fail to indicate.

I'm a motorcyclist and round here they nearly all fail to indicate on the roads as well

I recently posted a Q regarding the disgraceful standard of driving in the UK in general and to my amazement of 30 answers not one said I was talking out of my butt.

Look it up and have a think about it

For us motorcyclists please try to keep it safe out there but also for all the other road users

Answer 3

Car parks in general tend to be on private land where the rules of the Highway Code don't apply.

However as a general rule you should continue to drive under the guidelines laid out in the Highway Code and use indicators out of politeness to let others know your intentions.

Answer 4

Because they've completely forgotten their driver's training--and the specific section in all state-published drivers manuals that states turn signals are to be used whenever turning, in all situations.

Oh, well. At least at the speeds at which cars travel in car parks, there aren't likely to be many accidents due to the lack of turn signal usage. :)

Answer 5

Because no one else does, there is less police to enforce using signals, so nobody does! It's frustrating, but I don't think it's something that is going to change unless it become more enforced.

Answer 6

They do! Except it means "bagsie that space", or "I am going to do something unpredictable".

Answer 7

Private land, they're not obliged to.

Answer 8

because no-ones going anywhere they are all dogging it ...
