Serious question though.

How do people deal with exiting these roundbaouts in Europe?

Nobody in america uses them (edit in: turn signals) when exiting and im stuck there waiting for a spot to clear, or until someone decides to let me know theyre exiting. It doesnt help theyre the smallest roundabouts they could possibly make. Everyone behind me gets mad, but just entering is like playing a game of chicken.

Do people in europe have the same issue, and they've just learned to time it better / have more space between entrances and exits, or are people more courteous, and use their damn turn signals.?

You just exit them? It’s the people getting onto a roundabout that have to wait.

Right, but do you use your turn signal to exit, or do you just exit?

Sry just realized it sounded like no one exits. Haha opps.

You should start indicating as you pass the exit before your exit.

Keldoran, I wish! If they even use signals over here, it's as they are making the maneuver.
