Vent about some drivers

We have two of those stupid mini roundabouts at the top of our road it amazes me how many just drive right over it .

But the thing that really bugs me is that nobody seems to know that the broken lines in the road mean that you have to give way :mad: I have lost count of how many times I have nearly been hit by these MONGS!!!

as much as i hate people being in the wrong lane i HATE it when roads change and someone who probably doesn't know the road has changed ends up in the wrong lane and everyone is kicking off and getting all road rage about it... just let them in its a new road!
really bugging me at the moment with the new road beside mine! I myself ended up in the wrong lane and took the (wrong) road I ended up on because no one would let me in because they were all raged up! I have however since let people in and slowed down for people who look a bit confused... lol

I'm not a driver so I don't know where it's legal to park, but this can't be right...
There are a bunch of people who park on the horizontal bit of a T junction I know. Usually there's only one left at rush hour in the evening, but it's really annoying.

A driver pulled out of the vertical road in front of me the other day while I was overtaking one of these cars on my bike. He forced me towards the pavement and I nearly ended up running into the back of the second parked car. I suppose I should be grateful they were parked with a gap between them, otherwise I'd have been a cyclist-shaped smear against the side of one of them.

The one thing that's guaranteed to get me worked up when driving is people who don't understand that mini roundabouts have the very same rules as normal roundabouts - give way to your right - and wave people across when it's THEIR RIGHT OF WAY. This drives me absolutely nuts - I had one guy the other day sat on my right just waving away with a smug 'I'm such a nice, helpful, considerate driver' face on. It got me so MAD! It's your right of way, moron!

Gah! Sorry, just had to get that out. And no, I didn't thank him!

Or they deliberately find a big PUDDLE AAaaargh :mad:

A couple a while back got prosecuted for doing this and putting it on you tube.



There were a lot of people who complained the prosecution was over the top, and ignored anyone who mentioned "aquaplaning" as if they were talking geeky technical nonsense rather than a concept any capable driver should understand.

It's not the same though, on a normal roundabout you give way to people from the right already on the roundabout. On a min roundabout (and mini-sized normal roundabout) you don't have enough space to get going yourself.

Yes, but you still give way to the right. So if there's someone to your right, you wait for them to pull on to the roundabout and pass you before you pull out. No one should ever wave someone else out at a roundabout, it causes confusion. Just give way to your right and we'll all get along! :rotfl:

I hate lorries holding up the outside lane just to slowly overtake one other lorry and go slow again. Why not stay behind the other lorry and stop jamming up the outside lane?
