People who don't indicate on roundabouts really get my goat! 

Lol,go to France or Spain,no bugger does there

Havn't they got some daft rule that those joining the roundabout have right of way?

Well tell your goat to calm down.

AND they are taught to stay in the inside lane even if leaving on the last exit. Very scary with the no indicators.

In the 1990's most of them were replaced with conventional roundabouts with Giveway signs. If any road on your right (or roundabout entry) in France has no road markings then you Giveway to the joining traffic. These are common in city and town suburbs and country roads. I think they were designed with a French sense of humour so each junction is a game of chicken. The aim if you are French and are on the main road is to ignore the car trying to join from the right until you can't and then braking very hard at the very last minute.

Speed limits used to be universally ignored and the Gendarmerie would generally only bother with radar speed traps on a Friday afternoon or Saturday to provide them with their weekend drinks money, but then in the very late 1990s that all changed and they are much stricter than the UK now with much bigger penalties.

Not indicating is MUCH better than doing it the wrong way round. Which is dangerously common.
