    I hadn't seen it before, so I'm glad it was posted (again). The lack of indication on the Focus shows they are going straight across. The exit is blocked on the LHS with the feeder lane, so it's going to be a tight squeeze if two cars both want to go straight across, however, there is only one lane here, and Strider has no right to try to create two lanes especially as there is only room for one car on the exit. As the Focus was infront all the time Strider's driving was immensly poor not to give him a wide berth and just the common everday courtesy that should always be afforded to driver who is INFRONT of you. This is despite the video subtitles where Strider says he is expecting it and does infact give him a wide berth..... Strider, if that's your idea of not getting too close how close do you get normally?

    The difference between this video and one of his others is that in the other, Strider is the one on the inside of the RBT and the one pushing in on the exit and then he thinks he has some kind of right of way because he is infront, however in the other video the only reason he is infront is because he overtook on the RBT!!! and wants to force his way into the bumper to bumper moving traffic to his left!!! At least in this video the Focus driver is infront all the time and has some twit (Strider) up his/her bum determined to try to make some kind of "I have right of way & I'm going to force my presence upon you" incident out of the situation and force an error onto him (the focus driver) and possibly cause an accident which he (Strider) very nearly succeeds in doing.

    I imagine a possible reason the Focus strays into the feeder lane is because they may be a nervous driver and may have been paying too much attention to the bad driver behind them who seemed intent on forcing a collision.

    The road signs also indicate the road to the left on the RBT is a minor entrance to an industrial park probably rarely used.

    Strider has shown himself yet again to be a poor & dangerous driver.

    I wish I did, I'd like to have that 'new car' aroma :)
  • This stider bloke needs to learn how to drive. Take this video of his. He is the wrong lane approaching the roundabout and he doesn't indicate when he he passes the first turn off. What a twonk.

    It's a dual carriageway........ Two lanes, one is left/straight, the other is straight/right. I sincerely hope you don't think that's the wrong lane. :rotfl:
    Why would I indicate? I enter in lane 2, so I need to come off the island in lane 2, not confuse the f**k out of everyone by cutting over to lane 1 after the island.

    I dread to think what you do in that situation.....

    MMM well Strider may not be the best driver out there but in that example he doesnt do much wrong, but the fiesta that took his lane on the rabout does!

    Why was he in the wrong lane on approach?
    Agreed though he should still indicate his intention to leave the rabout, and Strider just because you indicate doesnt mean you have to go from lane 2 to lane 1 it means that you are going to leave the rabout at the next exit (from the lane that you are in)

    Well, you've answered my question at last.

    So, you're exempt, everyone else has to though?
