I'm on a roll!

Example

1. In the morning, I come down the white road from lower left, and turn left into Dorchester Hill, but there is another left turn that comes down at the same point (there's just a scrubby bit of tarmac between them).

Again, I don't indicate here (God save my soul!) as this would give the impression I am going back up the adjacent left turning - I've seen a couple of really near misses here resulting from this, as people waiting to turn out of the second turn think they can go.

2. In the evening, I come along Bournemouth road, turn left then second right. As almost noone goes straight on, I just flick the right indicator almost as I make the turn. I know this is unsatisfactory, but when I follow someone who indicates right before the double turning, I have no idea what they're going to do.

Any thoughts?

Standard T junction markings for each of the side turnings. To clarify, Dorchester Hill is the priority route (despite being a dead end :? )

Turn right?

Unless you are intending turning up their inside to take the first right I don't see how it matters which right turn they are taking.
