She was still on the roundabout, she was still in the left hand lane. You knew she was there but still cut across to take your exit regardless. Maybe you ought to get a few more lessons, especially in situational awareness.

Are u on crack? As i came up to the roundabout i was in the 2 of three lanes. I stayed in that lane. My exit also had two lanes. I indicated to come off the roundabout whilst staying in my lane.

She was in 1st lane she indicated right a couple of yards before my exit bviously looking to take 3rd or 4th exit. She should of been in the 2nd or 3rd lane for this.

Noobend.

I probably experience something like this every couple of weeks.

Usually on a dual carriageway to dual carriageway with a RB in the middle.

I am in right lane going straight on.

Someone else is in the left lane but then decides to go right.
Sometimes I get the gift of a last minute indicator while on the RB but usually its the panicked look on their face which tells me they are about to do something stupid.

If in doubt keep going round the roundabout is a mantra that has saved my passenger door several times.
Now have an in car camera as I am a high milage driver (car) and have in my view far too many non fault near misses.

I am finding the whole episode completely underwhelming.

If you saw the indicator, you could have avoided the collision.

But she wasn't so you should have dealt with it by staying in your lane around the roundabout, not tried to cut across her.

You admit you saw her but carried on regardless

So the other driver was on the roundabout and you cut across the lane she was in and thus caused the accident?

You lose everything when they find against you.

And they will.
