Why or when did a huge parrot become a symbol of irony?
Yes, the area is grey like a motherfVGTICE said:
Unbelievable, saying that the cam driver is at fault for not hanging back
I think theyre saying the guy was stupid rather than at fault, but theres a grey area between the two

I thought it was quite ballsy to keep flashing as well!
Don't think that kind of thing is worth sending to the force though - everyone makes mistakes.
It's not worth uploading to the internet either. Personally if I'd felt as angry as DCW (which I wouldn't) I'd have just sent them the footage as opposed to flashing my lights beeping my horn and shouting and swearing about an incredibly common transgression.Don't think that kind of thing is worth sending to the force though - everyone makes mistakes.

It is not possible to exit a roundabout from lane 2 without going in to lane 1 of the roundabout first, the line the plod took was almost exactly as the picture in the highway code with the exception of the lack of indication. The DC Warrior was just putting himself in harms way, although the bib did not demonstrate exemplary roadcraft what they did was totally predictable. If the DCW had done that maneuver with an HGV it would have ended suitably punished, they demonstrate the same lack of courtesy as you do resorting to obscenity.
There are two lanes on the entry.There are two lanes on the roundabout.
There are two lanes on the exit.
It is perfectly possible to negotiate that roundabout from a lane 2 entry and remain in that lane on the roundabout itself and stay in lane 2 on the exit.
DCW COULD have avoided that situation, but it was caused 100% by the police car NOT checking his mirrors, NOT checking his blindspot and then STILL making a lane change regardless!
There is literally nothing in that clip that anyone could point to and blame the DCW. Nothing.
If someone pulls out on you from a side road, is that your fault for putting yourself where you could get hit, or their fault for doing something stupid?
I despair at the fact I have to share the road with people with this total lack of situational awareness.

Lane 2 of the roundabout is the central ring, if you stay in lane 2 of the roundabout you would go around for ever and despair of ever exiting.There are two lanes on the roundabout.

I accept that Bibs driving left a great deal to be desired, however the DCW decided to effectively pass on the left, whilst undertaking this exercise there is a higher duty of care on them until safely passed, they put themselves in harms way and then sulked when the predictable happened.
As the entery 2 lanes only form just before the roundabout and both exits have 2 lanes off, I would argue that Bibs entry lane was correct, unlike DCW who is only using lane 1 to try and pull off an ill-advised passing maneuver.

Just no! I am sorry, you seem to have no clue about how a dc roundabout works.I accept that Bibs driving left a great deal to be desired, however the DCW decided to effectively pass on the left, whilst undertaking this exercise there is a higher duty of care on them until safely passed, they put themselves in harms way and then sulked when the predictable happened.

You really need a few more driving lessons, but in the meantime look at this especially the dual carriageway roundabout bit!

Plus dcw was actually dropping back not undertaking

With the road markings the same hasnt the police car in the video just about followed the line of the Blue car
It's a good job the red car didnt go straight on
It's also contrary to the text

It's a bit badly drawn, but look at the road markings instead of its width.
ETA: I can't imagine that there are too many roundabouts with that layout and marked as in the example - it would lead to too many conflicts.
