It's actually not that dangerous. You make the choice to drive at speed in a roundabout. At slower speeds, turning with one hand only is not dangerous, especially considering your steering wheel isn't turned 90 degrees when you are exiting.yeah true, I have reasons why the rule is actually dangerous. There's no really any point in indicating after leaving a roundabout, it's important indicating when entering so other people know which direction you're going. Secondly, indicating left when exiting a roundabout while you are turning the steering wheel is actually dangerous as you have only one hand turning the wheel.. and especially in a small roundabout, there is limited time to indicate left or that your turn might be a bit off.
The point of roundabouts is to effectively manage traffic. If you don't indicate on larger roundabouts, you will be holding up traffic in the other direction. On smaller roundabouts, the difference in time between you reacting to a car that indicates and a car that doesn't is minimal, so that doesn't really matter.
