  "account": "Drivers approaching a roundabout often wait patiently, hoping for a chance to merge into traffic. However, the vehicle in the roundabout proceeds without blinking its turn signal, causing frustration and potential misunderstandings among other road users. This behavior can lead to dangerous situations, and drivers may even face a warning fee of 10 to 35 Euros for improper signaling, according to the ADAC. When changing lanes or exiting a road, it is generally required to signal. Unlit vehicles, such as bicycles, must use hand signals instead. The ADAC notes that many blinkers operate too late, not at all, or incorrectly. Examples of improper signaling include turning on the blinker during a turn, failing to turn it off after changing lanes, and activating the blinker when entering a properly signed roundabout. To correctly signal in a roundabout, adhere to the signs \"Allow priority\" (sign 205) and \"Roundabout\" (sign 215). If entering the roundabout, do not blink the turn signal. If exiting, ensure the turn signal is activated. If there are no priority signs or other priority regulations, the principle of right-of-way applies: traffic flowing straight does not need to signal, as changing direction does not alter the direction of travel.",
