This, along with your slower speed, should allert a waiting driver to the fact that you are going full circle, although I wouldn't bank on it.

That could risk being rear ended if the approach roads, and roundabout is empty though.

Was the people carrier prepared to stop or did it just seem to say - my right of way. you stop - in which case it did not consider what the peugeot driver might think.

There is rarely, if ever, time to apply a leaving signal at a mini roundabout because the front wheels will already be at the exit by the time the signal is needed
