My pet hate is traffic lights on roundabouts.

That and people who automatically stop when they get to a roundabout.

My pet hate is lizards, can't stand 'em.

Like roundabouts, don't mind them that much even when they have traffic lights.

My pet roundabout hate is the people who don’t indicate, leaving you guessing and stoping everyone else up from making a move.

In and around Southampton we have silly fence like screens that block your view of oncoming traffic as you approach a roundabout so that you have no option other than stopping. Really annoying!

My roundabout pet hate, is idiots entering the roundabout that don't stop, and force me to brake when I'm already on the roundabout.

Yes and a great way of increasing everybody's fuel consumption and hence pollution (unless in an EV of course). I'm sure the government want us to reduce pollution. What a ttish idea they are.

Yup Southampton's got loads of roundabouts like that and I've had the same thought that it guarantees extra fuel consumption for the majority who have to stop. Idiotic idea that would have been put in because one person once saw someone who didn't stop and they almost had an accident.

My pet hate is the young dog up our street that got out and jumped at me when out running on Tuesday, tripping me up causing multiple abrasions, cuts gashes, broken glasses and a black eye.

My pet hates going for walks in the rain. Especially near roundabouts.

My pet hate is when people wildly exaggerate the injuries they receive as a result of a minor incident.

I think roundabouts are great. Give me a roundabout over traffic lights any day. People who don’t know how they work are the problem. They should be made to get the bus.

My pet hate is people who don’t know how to use roundabouts. In particular how to use the lanes and which one to be in.

I like roundabouts and sometimes go round them twice to prolong the enjoyment.

Was following a woman a few months back, she approached 2 roundabouts, right hand indicator on at both, made a clear conscious effort to get in the left lane and went straight on at both.

But it is the stopping or heavy slowing when you can see clearly that there are no other cars about that gets on my tits the most.
