Scenario: you are driving along the main road in a town. (It is a dual carriageway, with a wall in between. Periodically there are gaps in the wall to allow traffic access to side streets on the opposite side, or for making a U-turn. Making a U-turn is something one does a lot here. U-turn is your friend.) Ahead of you is a vehicle in the nearside lane - on the left - but indicating right. What could this mean?
Here are a few of the possible alternatives:
- I intend to move into the right-hand lane.
- I intend to make a U-turn. We like U-turns.
- I intend to overtake something.
- I'm letting you overtake me on the right.
- I'm letting you overtake me on the right, but once you've started to overtake me I'll have a change of heart and decide I want to go right after all. I hope your horn's working.
- My lights have some unorthodox wiring and those are actually my brake lights. The blue ones are my indicators.
- I actually intend to turn left - signals are for wusses.
- Some of the above.
- All of the above.
- None of the above.
