I've got a 65 without trafficators and an RP which has them. I am not sure about this, but my feeling is that modern drivers do not necessarily notice the RP's trafficators, and so I make my right turns very obvious by sticking my arm out and moving
towards the centre of the road.
I think most drivers who are not texting or taking the lid off their coffee are focussed only on the rear of the car in front.
For left turns I do the correct anticlockwise circling of the right arm, but if she's there I'll usually ask the boss to stick her left arm out, which seems to get the message across.
Of course your decision to fit trafficators may be based solely on aesthetics, in which case the above does not apply.
