Incorrect CBT advice maybe? Clarification needed.

[map]

Following a lad who had been through the local CBT school.

Approaching a roundabout and he indicates right.
He then goes around the roundabout and indicates right after first exit to go straight on. The straight on was at the 12 o'clock position.

When I asked it was what he was told to do by CBT instructor.
Now unless the DSA has moved the goalposts I think that's wrong and possible dangerous. IMO it tempts car drivers to overtake on the inside expecting the biker to be turning right.

Now this is what I thought was the correct procedure for straight on at a roundabout (12 o'clock exit). Do not indicate on entry. When past the point of no return for first exit (i.e. cannot have turned) put on left indicator. This tells anyone waiting at that junction your intent and also anyone behind. Then lifesaver left and exit.

Basically as in this image borrowed from cambridgedrivingschool.net site...
https://www.cambridgedrivingschool.net/images/straight-ahead-on-roundabout.jpgexcept I would start left indicator at or just before 9 o'clock position.


However, caveat is if desired roundabout exit is after the 12 o'clock position enter with right indicator.

So, what is now correct?
If not what I though should I (a) mention it to CBT school (b) contact the DSA or (c) both?

Thanks in anticipation

No indication onto roundabout, indicate left when past the first exit.

Been taught wrong.

Sounds like they've only read the first two clauses of the highway code suggestions.

Don't forget though the lad in question may have had a lot of info rammed into his head in one day. He may have got the wrong end of the stick or not remembered it exactly as taught.

Agree with everything here.

In particular the point about the right lifesaver - you need to check for cars leaving at the same exit from the right hand lane.

It's situational, I actually do it on some roundabouts where there appears to be a high chance of incoming spackers thinking I'm likely to be exiting at 9 o'clock, and a low chance of someone trying to sneak up the inside.

I actually had this conversation with my CBT instructor, who asked me why I'd done it. Answer was that if it makes spackers confused about what I'm up to, at least they're more likely to pause for thought than to pull out.

"Fair enough, don't do it on your test though" was the answer.

Teaching it as a default though, no. Just... no.

I indicate right if i'm exiting past 12 o clock, not while i'm waiting to join the roundabout but once i'm on it and on the inside, then I turn it off once my exit is next and stick left indicator on to change lane or exit

If i'm going straight over and exiting at 12 I wont indicate unless its a dodgy roundabout and I think I need to be clearer about exiting

If it's first exit left i'll have my left indicator on as i'm joining and until i've exited

I think it makes my intentions clear

This was a fad about ten years ago wit all manner of drivers being told this bollocks... Bloody dangerous, car or bike.

I indicate left after the last exit before the exit I'm taking - indicating right is confusing.

BUT... lifesaver *left* before exiting. Basically checking for anything sneaking up my left side as I am about to lean and turn to the left, so lifesaver left is was I was taught and passed the test doing, and what makes sense to me. Lifesaver right, not so much, as I am not about to lean and turn to the right. Sure someone could be coming my way from the right, but they could be coming in at any time on multilane roads and I don't do lifesavers on the straight every two seconds, only when I am about to change position or direction.

The no indicating before the first exit is what I always taught my students, and road positioning is also very important.
