...what if you're just turning right?

My guess is, then you probably won't be doing 60mph and in cruise control mode.
Not if you're the stig.
Its probably like many luxury sedans (and pretty much every recent Benz) if you tap the turn signal stick it flashes the blinker three times to signal a lane change so you don't need to put it back into position once you have made the change.
I don't think that's a luxury feature anymore, my base model ford does it.
This can't be proven. No one in the drivers' seat of a Benz has ever tapped the turn signal.
