You are meant to give way to all traffic on the roundabout even if it's in lane 2 and your entering lane 1, if the van driver was expecting me to move to lane 2 they should still wait until I've passed them.

I don't see any reason to get irate, unless they were planning on doing something they shouldn't and are now annoyed that they can't.

Everyone else seems to understand, surprised that the only person who seems to be upset at it was a person who drives vans professionally for a delivery company. I'm going to continue to err on the side of indicating that way so that any drivers in front of me don't pull out, that seems to be the safest option for me and anyone else. I'd rather a person be upset at the extra signal and not moving than for me to be involved in an accident because they assume I'm taking the first exit and pulls out when they shouldn't.

Our duty as drivers is to be safe on the road, not to be technically correct in every manoeuvrer. Like I said, I use this roundabout twice a day, nobody else has felt the need to gesture and use the horn to admonish me for continuing around a roundabout.

If the signal is misinterpreted, what impact would it have on the van driver, the signal should either be interpreted as I'm continuing around the roundabout, or I'm moving lanes on the roundabout, either interpretation has the same effect, the van driver should not enter the roundabout.

Which part of the rules of the road say when your unhappy with an indicator you should gesticulate and distract the other driver by using a warning signal (the horn) whilst remaining stationary and out of harms way.

My actions are not a made-up rule, they're an application of the rule

The way I interpret this junction is that the exit is at about 12:30, making it borderline either way. That's why I think it results in a safer option if you apply the >12 rule, which about half of motorists here do.

If you think everybody is going to follow the exact rules of the road in a black and white manner, then you are probably the dangerous driver. Real life driving often involves picking the safest option not the technically correct one.

The car on the cycle path @1:55 is near where I live, I've seen it happen more than once, I think it's caused by people driving up the old bray road and getting confused. The lack of signage doesn't help

You've conveniently left out the important part which is in brackets (unless road markings say otherwise). The road markings show that you are to use the left lane for turning left and going straight, and the right lane is for going straight or turning right. If two lanes are shown to be the correct ones to use, then the general principle of keep left applies.

When a lane marking shows a straight and left arrow that means that both the first exit and 2nd exit are for that lane, even if the 2nd exit is past the 12 o'clock position. Notably the instructions on use of indicators is after the bit on which lane to use, so according to how it's written, you should use the right indicator in lane 1.

Either way the situation shouldn't be that confusing to a professional van driver, it's pretty easy to interpret what's going on, school run drivers seem to understand it with ease.
