Yeah your mom is right. An entrance signal is useful on smaller roundabouts, but is always less important than the exit right signal

My mom insisted that in her car I use the left turn signal if my roundabout exit is to the left of my entrance

As a European it’s very cute listening to you guys working out how to signal on a roundabout.
But to give some help… Signal as if you’re going to continue round until you pass the exit before the one you need at which point signal for the exit.

I think using your left signal if you’re leaving on the third exit of a four exit roundabout is actually standard practice in some countries. I saw people do this a lot in Norway for instance.

Oh? This is actually great news.
I’m a grownup who got a driving license late, but even after the practice and test I didn’t know the answer to how to signal out of a roundabout. So I looked it up.
In my home state, the law is: never use your left signal at a roundabout (unless switching to a left lane within a roundabout). So I assumed it was universal. Maybe not.

That’s probably how it should be. Otherwise the only way the left signal is useful is if you see it right when the car enters. Otherwise you’ll have no idea what exit it’s meant to be for.
