It would be nice if the people who slew across three carriageways in the last 200M before the ramp indicated.


As to the original posting about the Highway Code, it's available online, but it's been "adapted" for online use and the printed version is the one that's the legally accepted version.

I once did road signs as the picture round in my pub quiz. The scary result? Most people could guess the more obscure signs, but the ones we pass every day had a lot of people stumped.
I've just checked your link. It does say signal before leaving a motorway. I will have to own up that I don't have a copy of the Highway Code. I will put it on my shopping list!
