Ok i dont get angry or mad behind the wheel but this eveining i had an incident occur witch made my blood boil i had joined a roundabout and and was in the outside lane the correct lane for exiting onto the a32 i was half way into the junction mouth wich is one lane entry.
When this apsoloute ediot in a silver mazda 6 from what i can tell came from the inside lane and all i heard was the sound of screeching brakes and greeted with beeping and flashing of lights i looked in my mirror and he was mere mm from hitting me.
It made my blood boil i then found out from my mate who was a couple of cars back at the time the idiot cut him up on the entry to the roundabout and floored it round the inside and was obviously trying to cut in. and the reason we wernt moving quickly was a learner had just pulledout not in a bad way but was head of me and had stalled the car i rekon from the lack of forward momentum and the puff off smoke out the exsausted as they then drove on.
i didnt get his reg and and niether did my mate. how can people be such a impatient poopie pants.
grrrrrrr RANT OVER.

Dont worry about it dude. Laugh, point and continue on your merry way. There are aholes everywhere, a bit like life really. If you let everyone get on your nerves you would have a hear attack by 30.

Yeah, it could have happened, but at the end of the day it didn't. No use crying over things that could happen.

I agree, chill, and let the idiot get on with it. Not a lot else you can do.

Lane discipline appears to be some sort of dark art which no one can manage round here- they are s without a doubt. Don't let em get to you though dude!

At least they didn't crash into you!
On my way to one of the Breakfast meets last year a woman straight lined one of the roundabouts on the A27 (one that is two lanes for straight on).
It only cost me £250 or so to put right... rolleyes

Roundabouts do seem to be a general driver issue at the moment, anyone who has tried to use the new and "improved" (my arse) Junction 9 (M27/A27/Segensworth) roundabout between 5pm - 6pm to head towards Park Gate must have been a victim of an idiot driver who can't use the 2 dedicated lanes correctly?
I think it's well marked out for a large 4 lane roundabout yet people still use lane 3 to exit towards Park Gate which is clearly rubbish.
The 205 does not take kindly to people pulling (well, trying to pull out) in front of it, the sound of 40's at full tilt generally satisfies the use for swearing at this point to get their attention.

I'm with Neil on it though, point, laugh, abuse if required and make in you direction of choice, it'll only be a matter of time before poor lane discipline comes back to bite them on the arse when a second idiot isn't paying attention to them.
