Roundabouts Rant!

This is my rant about people who don't know how to use roundabouts!

There are several types of roundabout users....

- those who don't feel the need to indicate at all (i didnt say BMW driver lol)

- those who go right round without indication but indicate when leaving (cos that's helpfull).

- those who decide to pull out infront of you

- and finally those who don't have a flamin scooby and just sit there giving way to left and right.

Is it really difficult??????????? I use about 35-40 roundabouts (no exaggeration) on my way to and from work and its a nightmare!

i know exactly what you mean fella, though it aint just bimmer drivers, round most places i know when you drive a taxi you become exempt from indicating anywhere, but especially on roundabouts!!

Another one, those that travel roundabouts at approx 1-2 miles per hour, christ how hard is it??

The one that really rips my knitting is people who use the wrong lane sitting in the right hand lane when going straight over even though the lanes are clearly marked and also not on roundabouts but dual carriageways the amount of people who hog the OVERTAKING LANE because they are turning right at the end of the road a BLOODY MILE AWAY

Roundabouts..................Dual Carriageways.........people with no road sense..............
Gaaaaaa. Kill em all.

I did 27 miles in the outside lane of motorway / dual carriageway on Wednesday. Never gained 1 place and people would not move over regardless of their speed (anywhere from 35-70mph)!!! I would've used the left lane to pass if it was 'free' but there were always people in it too travelling about the same speed.

Roundabouts don't really annoy me as if there's a safe gap i'm away... Sometimes sliding sideways.

worse roundabout round ourway is a 3 laner left lane only for turning left on to motorway middle for going straight over and right for going all the way round, all lanes are clearly marked (the middle lane is always busy and the other two dead) so how many do you see going down the left lane then chopping across the chevrons cutting you up just because they cant be botherd to wait in the queue, also people in the outside lane going all the way round (in general roundabouts) cutting everyone up who is using the roundabout correctly makes my blood boil

What annoys me with roundabouts is the BMW who approaches in the right lane along side myself (in left lane) then follows perfectly round the roundabout, then even though there is two lanes on the exit we are both taking decides he wants to be in the left lane and just pulls off the roundabout into left lane leaving me no breaking distance, missing him within mm's, and really pissing the road users behind us off as well...

Since that incident I have change to a Stoeble horn and by jove when I honk my horn now the other driver needs new trousers! (Made one guy who was cutting me up swerve all over the place when I honked the horn... Don't think he was looking!)

Thats the one

Still think its not loud enough so am going to get a deeper tone version and mount it alongside this one at some point....
