We have a new crazy on the south east , its turning right from the left hand lane. It happens so often i thought the rules had been changed . Does it happen where you live ?

On duel carriageway it's really dangerous as you can go straight on in both as long as you leave the roundabout on the lane you enter. Outside lane to outside lane etc. Saw two cars in front of do this yesterday the car on the outside lane went to leave onto the outside lane only for the car on his left to come straight across in front of. The both crashed onto each other. The car from the left lane was going all the way round the roundabout to turn right. He was adamant he was in the right.

I am sure unless signposted the first two junctions use the outside/left haned. Any thing past 12 o'clock or passed the second second turning use the inside of the roundabout.

I only travel about 20 miles aday and see people turn right from the outside lane at least 8 or 9 times a day. It's been on the increase the last 2 or 3 years

Not noticed that unless there's a long queue in the right hand lane.
But plenty of people indicate on approach when going straight on.
 
My favorite roundabout...

It actually seem to work quite well.
 
Shouldn't be in the left hand lane when going right. It's like Greek driving at times round here, no regard for anyone else on the road. Saw some **** go steaming through a red light yesterday at least 15mph over the speed limit, we're not talking a 1 or 2 second one either, I'd been sat in the left lane for 10 secs and he flew past me through the same set of lights. God knows how he never killed anyone, luckily nobody was crossing or coming through the adjacent sets of lights.

Where could you be going at 0645 in the morning that is so important during a national lockdown? Same as the twats driving over 100mph during the first lockdown, there's no need. Met a fella in quite a senior position bragging about that the other day.

Other special mentions go to people who accelerate quickly past a parked car, when it's your right of way, forcing you to slam on. Also, tits who overhang a junction or pavement, almost bullying their way into making you let them pull out. Saw a guy veer 3m out of a junction the other morning on a roundabout, Uber driver narrowly missed him. I just stopped on the roundabout and let the **** get out the way, it's not worth the paperwork. A liability who will cost somebody their life.

Now I've had my little Thursday morning rant, I'll sip my coffee and shut the fuck up.
 
I'll vote for anyone who decides to take down traffic lights at roundabouts. Waste of electricity
Me too. Also, my local council took to erecting barriers on the approach to roundabouts so that you couldnt see the flow of oncoming traffic until you are actually at pole on the junction. That is defeating the whole point of them, which is to keep traffic moving. Cunts
