This is one of my biggest pet hates.

Cant believe the amout of people that don't know to negociate a roundabout.

Last week a bl**dy police van done this to an artic in front of me and i couldn't help but wish the truck driver had never saw him. I would have gladly been a witness against the copper for it.

Thank you! Obviously you are a cut above the rest due to your choice of car colour!

Not sure but this can cause some nasty accidents, esp with motorbikes.
And Evo eights.
And Polish bints in Mercs.


Yes, twice in a year and God knows how many near misses.

I still remember my driving instructor telling me that only 25% of all drivers indicate correctly at roundabouts.

Happens in Milton Keynes on a twice daily basis - it's got so bad here that I take the 'safe' lane on every roundabout approach if it's between 7am and 10pm. You can't trust what lane they're on, what their signals say, all you can trust is that they WILL cut you up and they won't have seen you.

Beeping your horn at them sometimes makes it worse because they panic and then they try and drive into you, or worse, someone else.

Defensive driving is the only prevention as you'll never single handedly educate them but you will give yourself a coronary trying.

That said, I completely agree with you, oh .. hang on .. i drive a red one too
