That's fine, I maybe wrong.

But a car entering a roundabout and ripping right with no indicator is apparently ok so long as indicate "out". (when no one cares as car gone anyway)

It's really *ing dangerous as if indicate right in, then the other side know what you are doing in advance.

Indicating to leave is nowhere near as crucial safety wise as indicating to do what you intend to imo

I don't think anyone mentioned turning right with no indicators.

However, if you're making a right turn at a roundabout you put your right blinker on. Then after the 2nd exit you're supposed to put your left one on as you're exiting...................simples really.

Incorrect.

My Ex only indicated out not in.

So nearly smash every time when turning right wkth no indication.

As previous, apparently this is correct.

So, if you enter a roundabout intending to turn right but you don't use indicators to do so it's incorrect?

Technically, it's not the 2nd exit, but any exit after the straight ahead position. That caters for a roundabout which is not a perfect cross type roundabout. But I assume you were referring to the typical cross type roundabout.

Incorrect.

My Ex was a Cop and trained specifically.

We argued over this at length......No I wasn't restrained! ha

No they are taught to turn right and indicate left.

Fact. Not sure what you are reading but thats what I said to start with

You were right to start with. Maybe your ex is wrong or the rules are different in Tasmania?

Here is a link to the guidelines from the NSW RMS on indicating at roundabouts:

https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/saf...undabouts.html

The section on turning right says:

Turning right: On your approach, to a roundabout you must select the right lane, signal right, stay in the right lane and signal left before exiting into the right lane.

Exiting a roundabout: If practical, you must always signal left when exiting a roundabout.

Legislation: https://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/v...4-0758#sec.113

113 Giving a right change of direction signal when entering a roundabout
(1) This rule applies to a driver entering a roundabout if the driver is to leave the roundabout more than halfway around it.
(2) Before entering the roundabout, the driver must give a right change of direction signal for long enough to give sufficient warning to other drivers and pedestrians.
Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.
