This is in response to Sherrill Savery's letter to the editor on Nov. 28, 2011, regarding the use of turn signals on roundabouts. You can only turn right into or out of a roundabout. Turning left into roundabout will likely result in a head-on collision, while turning left out of the roundabout will cause you to cross over the center island.

Therefore, the use of of a turn signal is pointless. Signal if you wish, but most of us know what direction you should travel. The problem with roundabouts is driver apprehension and lack of attention.
