no point in indicating if you don't look over your shoulder to see if there's space for you to maneuver into. A big signal from what I've seen seems to infer that all traffic behind should slow and allow the maneuver whether it's okay to do so or not..

What?
Surely if you are not going to look over your right shoulder (which itself is a form of indication that you might wish to turn right) then you have a much greater need to indicate before turning right?
Are you advocating not signalling properly because lots of bad cyclists indicate properly? To a large extent indicating properly is what you do to ensure that there is a safe space to move into as the moment you indicate you are obliging everyone behind you to stay back and not overtake? (Obviously looking over your shoulder is a f'ing good idea too).

I find most traffic takes it as the opposite; "I'm about to turn right, so your best course of action is definitely to overtake recklessly just as I start my manuevre."

You see so many people barely sticking their arm out, what's wrong with a fully extended arm? Also useful to closeline moped users who speed up to close.
