How much do you trust an indicator?

I think we've already established that many MOT testers don't understand the rules.

Proof that someone doesn't understand a rule definitely does not prove that they're not an MOT tester!

I suppose, but it does show that MOT testers really should know the rules or we could all end up paying for unessesary repairs that are not needed. It shouldn't be a lottery or luck of the draw who you get.

Have we?

Or have we established that a few don't ?

Or have we established there's a lot of unsunsubstaniated bias?

The 1st rule of testing is to know where to find the information needed.
 
I'd add that when I do indicate left, pull over and gently brake I've already checked that the road ahead is straight and clear. They've already passed the stupid test by tailgating, so I don't rely on them having the intelligence to make a decision.
A few months back I was watching a tv prog and celebs were discussing things that annoy them. One of the celebs said she gets really annoyed when driving along and sees the cars around and ahead of her leaving what she considers too big a gap. She said something to the effect 'it's a waste of road leaving all that empty space. They should bunch up more, plus they'll get where they're going quicker'.

I don't think she was saying it for comedic effect, it seemed to be a genuine annoyance for her.

With folk like that on the road, is it any wonder tailgating seems to be an ever increasing aspect of driving today.
