Irrespective of this the Audi still decided to pull left without checking it was clear and crashed into another car who was in the correct lane.
Audi still at fault.
Looking at the layout of the lanes combined with the signage on the road, I don't think blame can be attributed 100% one way or the other.Audi still at fault.
There are arguments to say both cars were in the correct lanes, following the correct markings, for the directions they wanted to go.

I say third/third/third - white car/black car/road designer.
If you go by the arrows before the roundabout, the leftmost lane is for going left or carrying on straight ahead.
But, as there's no actual lane going straight ahead from L1, you have to move into L2 in order to carry on straight. This is what the white car did, but without indicating and too late, which makes the white car in the wrong.
However, L2 is marked as being straight ahead only, so the black car was also in the wrong for turning out of it.
If you ignore the arrows before the roundabout and just go by the lane markings, then the white car was in the wrong and the black car was in the right.
But really both of them were in the wrong for starting their manoeuvres without ensuring it was safe to do so.
And the authorities are also in the wrong for making such a pigs ear of the road markings.

Strange, because when you drive onto that r-about from the RH most lane you remain in the RH most lane, ergo when you enter from the middle lane (marked on the roadway for Bawtry and M1 South) you continue around in the middle lane until after the second exit (for Rotherham) and the lane then becomes the 1st lane as the LH lane has been phased out due to the lane exiting. The next exit is for Bawtry and after that the exit is for M1 South. Left hand lane (signposted on the roadway for M1 North & Rotherham) takes you past the first exist (M1 North) and off at the second exit (Rotherham). RH lane splits after the second exit (Rotherham) and becomes the middle and RH lanes, which allows traffic to move over into the middle lane and exit to M1 South or continue round to exit onto Shepcote Lane.What's at fault is a missing strip of white line to form a cross to indicate that LH lane can cross the markings and go forwards beyond the first exit. Should be one here http://tinyurl.com/myqk2ox exactly like the one here http://tinyurl.com/l8u9xgb

Besides, if the LH lane is really for left or straight ahead then they should have hatched off the RH lane of the exit road at that point.

They can't do that as traffic that has already entered the r-about from earlier entry points can exit onto the lower desk of Tinsley Viaduct (for M1 North) using 2 lanes:http://tinyurl.com/km6e4p4

The driver certainly took their time getting out of the car; what were they doing, finishing a text?https://www.facebook.com/aditya.malik.54/videos/10...

Sorry, it seems my wing mirror's a bit misted up
Or too busy looking at your mobile (like this WVM driver approaching in the middle lane but still appears to follow the correct lanes despite being on his phone.)http://tinyurl.com/mp6a4az

Who'd have thought that drivers of those two makes of car would ever get involved in something like this?evil len said:
I like how the motorcyclist in the previous clip thinks that revving his engine means that pedestrians suddenly lose their priority to cross the entrance to a car park. Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
