    The comment about roundabouts is the same for Australia. You wait a roundabout entrance, with your indicator telling people what you intend to do on the roundabout, and that indication stays until you are ready to leave the roundabout, which you are then required to indicate left (unless you were already indicating left!).

    Having moving buttons on the steering wheel is an absolutely absurd idea. Not just for indicating, anything important (I dont mean volume control for the radio, or phone answer button) should never be on a rotating object, where it can be inaccessible or “not where it should be” in a time of need (or required).

      That’s a regional thing - I was very confused when I lived in QLD and that’s how people were driving. In Victoria everyone indicates the final direction before they enter the intersection (eg indicate right before entering if you’re taking 3rd exit, indicate left if you’re taking first exit).
