The "Sh*t Driving Caught On Cam" Thread Vol 3

BMW man approaches the roundabout in the straight on or right turn lane, and then moves into the right turn lane on the roundabout, effectively telling everyone he's turning right. I do agree that the biker should have anticipated that a car driver (especially of a German marque) is likely to suddenly veer into his lane without looking or signalling, so wasn't positioned well.
The biker changes lane on entering the roundabout forcing the BMW wide. had he stayed in the inside lane then their would have been no issue.100% Bikers fault.

I should not laugh, as it's quite sad news for the poor bird and all, but LOL at that editing and reaction.

BMW MAY have got the wrong lane initially but the bike forced him there.
The fact the BMW straddles the lanes on entry should've told the biker to back off. Instead, he continues to straightline the roundabout.
Giving the BMW driver the benefit of the doubt (I know!), he may have clocked 3 bikers upon approach, then lost sight of the 3rd one and therefore chose the safest option which was to stay to the right.
The biker did the exact same thing the car did. Both entered in one lane and then moved one lane to their right. So the biker is an exact reflection of the car driver - how ever much of a cock he thinks the car driver is, he is himself. What a moron.
Obviously most of this is cause because of the s
tty lines and lanes local authorities love to paint all over roundabouts, so its 90% their fault.

He should've stayed to the left of his lane on entry and that would've guided him round into the left lane of the exit. Instead he's inadvertently ended up making a lane change into the worst possible place to be on a roundabout.
As I said, he's positioned himself in the BMW's blindspot so the car had no choice but to stay right therefore reinforcing the biker's stty road position and making him think he's in the right.

Nope this junction is about 300m from where I'm sitting now.As others have said both straight lined the roundabout. The bike should have been in the lane to the left the car in the centre (L lane on approach turns left, right lane can be right or straight RH lane)

The first bikes straight-lined which meant te car had to do the same to avoid them. All bikes at fault.

100% thistty lines and lanes local authorities love to paint all over roundabouts, so its 90% their fault.Telford & Wrekin are currently carpet-bombing r'bouts with "Growth Point" work packages which involve widening given islands on their approach and in their footprint. The first one completed looks nice, but the lane markings are a f
king joke.Previously, it was a two lane approach; left lane for left and straight on, right lane for right turn only. Easy.
Now, the left lane is marked straight on or left (but not marked M54 - which is straight on), the middle lane is marked straight on for M54, but if you follow the lane markings on entering, one can actually turn right. The right hand lane is marked straight on or right, but if you use that lane to go straight on, you end up crossing lane markings that indicate otherwise.
It's a complete f
k up meant to deal with half a million new homes to be built in Telford, whilst ignoring the elephant in the room namely the M54. How the fk is a 40 year old two lane motorway supposed to cope with that much additional traffic?? Shortly, the M54 will be gridlocked East and Westbound with people trying to get to work in either Shrewsbury or the West Midlands.mmmm
Bit of a thread hijack, that was; sorry.
As you were.

He's also got this little gem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1d1Gv_-SB0 where he's so busy f
king around with the camera and capturing the car behind, that he strays out of lane and across the hatched markings.What a f
king fanny.Monkeylegend said:

It certainly looks like the BMW got his lane positioning all over the place. In a lane to turn right, then changes lanes mid way round the roundabout. At the same time, the biker could have moved off and got away without incident but chose to kick off at the driver. So driver is in the wrong, biker makes it into a 'situation'. I'd almost understand the bikers reaction if he'd had to make an evasive manoeuvre.

Yes, because the bike was sat in his blindspot not allowing him to move, legitimately, to where he was supposed to for that exit.
That's a contradiction, if the bike was in the cars blindspot, the car would move over because he hasn't seen the bike.The car is in the right hand turn lane just before the exit he needs to take so has to cut across abruptly to make the exit.

Stupid cnt comment. You think that warrants someone to die because of a driving issue?I think that people that insult others deserve to die. I know that makes me weird, can't help the way I feel though.

Try watching the video and the approach to the roundabout....biker straight lined the roundabout and got arsey when the car driver moved back to the lane he was in initially....Monkeylegend said:

He probably clocked 3 bikes on the approach to the roundabout. First 2 go past but not the third, which he loses sight of in his blindspot. He now can't move over because he doesn't know exactly where that third bike is or he DOES know exactly where it is and can't move anyway because the cocksocket has changed lanes blocking him into that r/h lane.
TL;DR: BMW may or may not have got his lane wrong but the biker DEFINITELY got HIS lane wrong and failed to heed the warning signs of the BMW possibly needing to move over/not sitting in his blindspot.
