    If I was driving there, I would quite happily arrive in the left lane and go straight on. I would also arrive in the left lane to go left, and would choose a lane to exit onto, so if you do try that red line, you would hit me, and you are wrong.

    It is totally dependent on the signage as you approach the roundabout. This may say something totally different to the accepted actions

    There does not appear to be any road markings to suggest anything than the " norm " in the OP.

    Need to have a look on Google maps to see what the signs say.

    Bit racist that comment.

    How?

    He came from another country, why is it racist to expect that he might not be able to read/speak English?
    A lot of them can't....

    Who's fault is that? mine? yours? his? the govt?

    If I moved to Spain without learning the language, would I cry racism if they accused me of being unable to read road signs????

    It has nothing at all to do with Race...... Therefore it is not racist.

    People doing what you just did is the biggest reason we have such a racial divide in this country! and the tendency to be accused of racism for speaking the truth is what has lead to groups such as the BNP and EDL being formed in the first place.

    Comments like his get removed in other threads.

    He has had some racist posts removed from this motoring section as well.

    There really is no excuse for it.

    I'm sure you are going to tell me you are an advanced driver etc. but turning right from the nearside lane to overtake an HGV on a roundabout sounds a bit dangerous to me.

    It is only dangerous if it is inappropriate. A competent driver training establishment will not train drivers to drive dangerously at any level.

    Describing how to do something may appear to make it seem more complex than it is in practice. Naturally an advanced driving course will teach different techniques to those taught at a basic level and should make for a safer driver.

    Some of those techniques may seem to go against the grain but when learnt and practiced their merits become obvious.

    You sound like you are a racist.

    Why single out an asian as not being able to read road signs. It may surprise you but some are actually born here and educated to a better standard than you appeaer to have been.

    Standards of driving suggest otherwise.....

    Again, I speak only the truth.

    How about Asian gangs grooming young girls into the sex trade? hidden away by our Police force, for so long because of the fear of being called racist!! Despite the extensive and rare support from the Asian community to put a stop to it!!!!!

    Me personally im sick of stepping on eggshells, the truth needs to be told, no matter who it upsets..... And it's the white British who get uppity about, not the Asian community!!

    I welcome with open arms ANYONE who wants to live by the law of the land, by the laws I live by, you live by, we all live by! But those who do not, they have no right to cry racism, when race is not the issue!
    I tell you I do have a problem with chav culture, but at least the authorities are doing something about them!

    We're all human, we should all be treated the same..... If we don't change our attitudes we're going to find ourselves in a hell of a mess.
