Not sure if it's possibly just my corner of S. London - I don't ride in Central London - but I'm convinced indicator use has been falling rapidly over the last year or so.
Sure I have always been aware people don't always indicate e.g. when pulling out from parked the left. But now it feels like every ride I'm seeing cars fail to indicate where there is much more potential for confusion. For example when at a T junction, light controlled or not, meaning I have no idea whether they are turning left or right. Saw a bus do this the other day then turn right.
Thoughts - specifically on whether it's declining, or if it's a local phenomenon? Streatham/W Norwood/Tulse Hill/Herne Hill area. I don't seem to notice it as I go further South.
