>> Also a lot of drivers make that reflex action when it's too late to be of any value to other road users.

I agree with this 100%. If it's to be of any use it needs to be in plenty of time. It is only an indication of intent. If it's not safe to make the direction change then you shouldn't.

Going back to my point on observations, when I indicate depends on my surroundings as it should for all. If turning left then you should not indicate too long before if there are multiple roads on the left. Likewise if there is a numpty travelling far too close then you need to indicate earlier to let them know you're going to slow down and turn.

My other pet hate is not if someone indicates but the fact they get on top of a turning and indicate and hit the breaks at the same time. The correct way is to indicate your intent to turn thus warning anyone behind you are going to slow down and turn.
