  I’m in the UK so it’s the norm (saying that, not sure if that applies to London). If they’re indicating, you wouldn’t dream of not letting them out.

  It’s more my thought pattern as I do

    NZ here. We’re, generally, incredibly arrogant drivers.

    I think it comes from having a very low population density for such a long time: the roads were empty enough that you could “own the road”. Now, same roads with five times the density and that doesn’t work out like that anymore but the mindset persists.
