    People will always continue to drive like retards on roundabouts. I've been cut up loads of times with people in the wrong lane (different to that picture). Unless something happens to these people (Police action or an accident) then they'll never change their ways.

    People fail to read road markings an awful lot, these are far more dangerous in my opinion than those driving like nutters.

    I can always spot a nutter by their irratic driving and just let them get on with it...... But it's damn hard to spot whether the 90yr old Fred in the Wagon-R has any idea what lane he should be in OR whether Abdul Salami, can even read the road signs at all!!

    I find that it isn't any specific age or race group ( that you obviously have a downer on ) that get in the wrong lane at roundabouts.

    It is often some plonker in a Vectra, who is late for work.. :)

    There is a distinction between drivers who know the rules and ignore them and those who are simply ignorant of them.

    I was always taught up to 1200 was left or straight, from 1200 on was right, unless marked different. There's a series of roundabouts near me that continually have accidents happening- the first roundabout follows the 1200 rule, second is right for straight/right, third follows 1200 rule again.....

    People who may be unwittingly in the wrong lane proceed with caution. Others who do it on purpose have some kind of God complex that allows them to p155 on everyone else.

    You seem to like handing out personal attacks, I however will not rise to your bating.... Such behaviour is vaporous and insignificant and does not add to the forum in any way shape or form.

    When the truth hurts, you can label it how you like, but it's still the truth.

    Making assumptions however based on what mode of transport I use is little more than ignorance.
    And all cyclists run red lights.....

    So when im cycling I have to run red lights?
