Motoring experts at Goodbye Car are saying that failing to use your indicators can fall under the ‘careless and inconsiderate driving’ offense or be classed as driving without due care and attention.

This offence could land you with a huge fine up to £5,000, up to 9 points on your license, and you could even be disqualified from driving in serious cases.

Mark Royal, Operations Manager at Goodbye Car, says that “knowing when (and when not!) to indicate is a skill of its own, given there are no black and white rules, but it’s incredibly important to learn when they should be used for the safety of yourself and other motorists.”
