You can indicate automatically but be conscious that there is no-one that you have seen that will benefit. But what if you've missed someone?

Which is worse. Not indicating so you are not clear about your intentions or indicating and doing the same thing?

I have noticed this habit of only indicate when someone will benefit has turned into don't bother indicating at all. Roundabouts are bad for this. Many opportunities to pull out are missed as the car on the roundabout is turning off but there is not active indication to let you know they are going to turn off.

I'd prefer if drivers were taught to indicate all the time even if no-one would benefit as it then makes their intentions clear. Generally I'd prefer mindless indicating to mindless not indicating. Also thinking about indication takes attention. Is that attention better used elsewhere or not? I don't know.
