as I said confusing junction.Two lanes feed into one which feed into the lane mr angry wanted to take.
If you look at the google image and follow the roundabout round you see two clearly defined lanes which then feed into each other.
The only question is priority which i think falls to the cab first then the truck driver although i would use the rule of car in front has priority.
Hence my confusion its more a case of 1 lane feeds into three than 2 into 1

A colleague of mine lost his job because of something posted on YouTube. I suspect the company may have a Google alert for every time their name comes up so they can see anything being posted that may damage the brand image. Stobart will most likely come across this sooner rather than later and if they think this is damaging to them, which they will, the guy could be in the dole queue on Monday morning.
Maybe he deliberately misspelt Stobart as Stowbart to avoid this?pinchmeimdreamin said:
Thats what I thought at first then I checked the painted markings which show his lane was the right one just not the one I would have taken.

He's a pretty sad individual, if he spends his time checking to see if vehicles that have annoyed him, are insured via askmid. What a sad sad man.
Not surprising behaviour from a trucker tbh, most of them seem to get worked up over peoples driving mistakes. After all, they are driving gods, aren't they?

As would you if you were subjected to these "mistakes" day in, day out in the course of simply trying to go about your business.XDA said:

No. No-one is. In fact, the very premise of a "Driving God" is clearly ridiculous. They are just normal, professional people trying to do their job. It just so happens that they share their "work-place" with "colleagues" who haven't got the first f
king clue how to do their job.http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Armley+gyratory&am...
This should show you the markings on the road from google streetview.
To those who don't know the area, to get to the M1 you go straight on under the bridge, the left lane and the middle lane go to exactly the same place the right lane is the only lane that continues round the roundabout and splits into two then adds another just before the lights.

God, it's one of those roundabouts. I hate em.
At every junction the left hand lane turns off and a new lane forms on the right, slowly filtering all drivers off to an exit if they follow a lane.
It's at 5o'clock and a new lane starts on the left At every junction the left hand lane turns off and a new lane forms on the right, slowly filtering all drivers off to an exit if they follow a lane.
Is this guy spending too much of his time in the cab and needs help?
It's not exactly a consistent design all the way round the roundabout is it?
The guy still has problems though, and I'm not talking about the other drivers.

It does but if you look at the videoThis should show you the markings on the road from google streetview.

The markings arent visible as there's so much traffic, and road markings only advise what's that way, theyre not mandatory.
Wouldnt most people be in the middle lane knowing they dont want to turn left, and they dont want to turn right? ( as shown by people doing doing same on googlemaps
At the gantry some road numbers disappear so you have to do it by towns
and the minibus was where the silver car is

The way the video shows you either go straight on or right, their is no left option. The road signs show forward in the left and middle lane, right in the right lane. The VW should have driven under the bridge in the right of the two lanes, instead it decided it wouldn't stay in its lane and block another road user from following his chosen line.
It's a shame his chosen line is across three lanes in about 4 seconds at the end!
He only moved into the right turn lane from 1.19 to 1.26.
At 1.26 he drifted back into the lane he'd moved out of 7 seconds before!
Either complete the pass on the van, or follow it and pick a lane. Don't move alongside then cut across 3 lanes.
The guy is a retard!
If he wanted the L/H lane he ended up in, he should have followed the van, then moved left one lane, when it was time to do so.
The van was in one single lane for the entire clip.

If you watch the video then you will notice that at 1:26 the right lane splits into 2. The video uploader should have been in the left of the two when it splits but the VW pushing its way in means he couldn't. Thus he had to pull across 2 lanes to get into the correct one.He only moved into the right turn lane from 1.19 to 1.26.

The van never changed lanes. It always had a white lane marking to its left and is established in a clearly marked lane. At 1.26-1.27 both had an open empty lane in front of them, with the van slightly in front still.
The poster then moved left into an occupied lane, forcing the van to brake.
If he had stayed behind the van, instead of switching to a turn right lane for 7 seconds, he would have been in position to move to the lane he wanted at the correct moment at the end of the clip.
Why did the poster move into the marked right turn only lane for 7 seconds, when he really wanted the nearside lane at the next exit?
The van was in the same well marked lane for the entire clip.

Now look at this link which clearly shows where the middle lane should go. You Can't see this in the video because of the angle of the camera and the Van driving over them. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Armley+gyratory&am...

I do totally understand your point about the RH lane having the choice to stay right or blend left.Now look at this link which clearly shows where the middle lane should go. You Can't see this in the video because of the angle of the camera and the Van driving over them. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Armley+gyratory&am...
The images you link make it even more clear. He didn't blend though did he!
It's only a choice not a 'right' and if he wants to move toward the outside, he shouldn't shoot/get up the inside of other traffic, then move left whilst along side.
Follow the lane markings to the left of the where the van was driving. They are unbroken and the van stayed static with them to his left the entire time.
The chance to move left is not a given for the poster. He could have chosen to blend in behind the van, but he chose to get along side and then TAKE the position, crossing white lane markings to do so.
Even if it was just a standard two lanes into one situation, the poster was still slightly behind and should have blended in behind without fuss.
If he hadn't booted it for 7 seconds up the emerging RH lane he would have always been where he aimed to get, with just a single lane change left at the end.
He created this situation because he likes to shout his stupid mouth off. That is one thing we can be sure of!

Probably, but if we all write Eddie Stobart in the comment boxes we'll have him. They always know where their lorries are so the time and date at the top of each video makes it easier for them to trace which driver he is. Of course, he may have been sacked by Stobart or have some grudge against them and be tarnishing their name whilst working for another firm or as a one man band with his own lorry.
why would you want to get someone sacked over some youtube vids?, he hasn't done anything dangerous your a type A for having that type of attitude I hope someone comes and shafts you in the future..... tosser.He's obviously swearing to himself too much and getting irritated rather than cooling it 
The problem starts here
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Armley+gyratory&am...
The truck driver knows whats written on the road markings and follows it to the letter
The van/minibus driver can't see the markings as there's too much traffic so follows common sense and uses the middle lane for straight on, and as it happens works out better the way the lanes are dashed later.
If the middle lane was the one also marked B6154 or B6154 was removed from the outer lane, there would be no argument when they get to here

Well you could argue with anger problem like he has could lead to a serious road rage event, meaning murder/death/kill! It does happen. I wouldn't want that nugget in one of my vehicles. for having that type of attitude I hope someone comes and shafts you in the future..... tosser.Gassing Station | Commercial Break | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
