However I completely disagree with your second point. How is disobeying the highway code putting your car in a safe place. Are there other aspects of it that you disagree with and would also deliberately disobey?

highway code says right lane, i said right lane.

If the second exit has two exit lanes (like the picture in the first post) then being in the left lane and turning right isn't the safest option regardless of what the road markings say.
the key to driving is to have awareness of what's around you; if that means ignoring road markings and using common sense, then there you go.

Paid up 100% in my favour, I did tell you all this.......

It's utterly amusing how so many people seem to think Mr Focus didn't do a thing wrong.... No scrap that.... It's f*cking scary!!

I don't think anyone said the Focus didn't do a thing wrong. We just all agree you were worse,

What he should had done was block you from the start, so you couldn't have tried to squeeze through on his left. Maybe he didn't see you in time, or didn't expect you to try.

Hire car, driver more likely to be unfamiliar with area, possibly the country, etc.

You can guess they're not familiar as they make the mistake of pulling over to the left on the exit, and not realising it's a slip road on. At least they get back out before striders next to them trying to overtake!

Maybe he should have approached the island in the correct position and then not tried to straight line it.

Your all gonna continue this crap, but you are wrong and you know your wrong, but you won't give in because guess what? it's me and your up on your soapboxes again thinking you know better, thinking you can twist it into something it's not....

OMG I just noticed I nearly hit an invisible unicorn!!!!

Maybe you should re read this thread. Once again it's you and your invisible unicorn with your belief in your driving skills, and everyone else with their opinion on your driving skills.

Maybe I'll post a video of my car sat in a carpark, it'd be amusing to see how many pick at that :rotfl:

Providing your parking skills don't rely on your depth perception and thus the ability to choose a safe following distance, I see no reason why

Out of interest, do you drive for work or do you just have a horrendous commute?

You would rather think people are out to get you than admit your driving is flawed.

The comments that have been left are all in a similar vein and they are all based on other drivers watching your video, seeing your driving, and being quite unimpressed with it. There's a lot of things you could and should do differently, but for whatever reason, you're not willing to listen.
