I recently finished a return trip from Victoria to Darwin via NSW and Qld. Have been towing a van for about 12 years and in my working life was on the road almost every day, mainly around regional Vic and southern NSW.

I know my memory isn"t as good as it used to be, but, I can not recall EVER seeing anyone use the left indicator to signal that it is safe for another vehicle to overtake. How long has this "International Norm" been happening in Aus?

I must admit that I am on Yobarr's side with this one. I have noticed that most of Yobarr's usual antagonists don't have a view on this topic. Is that because they don't have an opinion on this technique, or is it because they might actually agree with something that he has written?

It would be good to find out what the majority of overtaking drivers expect to see from the slower moving vehicle, and then provide that signal, either left or right, in a consistent manner across the country.

A simple LEFT or RIGHT post is sufficient.

ps. RIGHT

Very good points Robert  agree 100% .

This "indicating system" is an absolute croc. And all sensible folks would agree. CB  and vision is the only safe method.
