Rather than hitting the horn, the cam car should have just eased up a bit.

I hit the horn a long time after I hit (and came off) the anchors.

I did I accept react a little slow to his decision to change his mind from his indication and obvious (not it turned out) right turn position on the r-ab.

For what its worth I suggest you ignore the comments on here of people criticising your video. You did nothing wrong other than assuming the idiot moved into the rh lane on approach to the roundabout to go right.

Other than that your driving was good.

I think Stickyfinger forgot that the replies he's getting are all from PH driving gods who have never, ever had an issue on the road, because their god-like driving prowess lets them avoid incidents months before they even happened. You could literally be sat in your driveway and a meteorite could hit you car yet, if you post about it in here for the PH gods to look at, it'll be your fault for not avoiding the incident in the first place and "what you should have done if it was me is do XXXXXX instead", so it's all your fault!

I tend to avoid threads like this specifically because of the type of driving god poster that frequents these threads, just looking for a post they can jump all over, getting so self-righteous they get spittle form at the corner of their mouth while they type!

Some of us are lucky not to have that happen

Indeed, there are times on the board at the start of the lane, so I'd assume not operational given it's dark. The real question is, why do so few people use bus lanes outside their hours of operation, instead preferring to join large queues?

Edited by Flibble on Friday 28th April 16:55

Because most drivers are way too stupid to even know that certain bus lanes are only operational between set times would be my guess.

It's not always easy to read signs, especially in the dark on a busy road when you're trying to watch everyone around you as well. With most bus lanes covered by cameras, people tend to err on the side of caution.

Another roundabout.....so, when they tell you they are going right ?

I was a little slow to react I think

OK, you look to be relatively local to me. That roundabout is less than an hour from home.
On street view, there are no lane signs, like in the video. The signal you saw was a lane change signal, he cancelled pretty quickly.
Finally, the merge arrow on the exit suggests his conduct was technically allowable. Still, I hat people who do that. Short merge lane after the roundabout and they're so desperate to get another car ahead, only to not bother accelerating at all.

I agree with you. There is a two lane roundabout at the Bridge of Dee in Aberdeen where two lanes have to exit into one, no option. There are those who barge in, and some like me if I am exiting from the outside will slow down whilst indicating u till I see a safe gap to move over without causing anyone having to slow down or brake.

Common curtesy. A word that many drivers do not understand.

Depends whether by barge in you mean merge in turn
In those situations why dont they put 'merge in turn sign' or couple oif merging arrows on the road

No room for merge in turn here, will post pic, I mean those who aggressively come down the outside and force their way in. Give me five for pic.

This is the roundabout, traffic from 3, 6 and 9 o'clock are trying to exit at 12. There are two lanes at the pedestrian crossing, then going into one. This is where there is no give and take, it's me me me.

This is just chokka in the rush hour. Oh there is one arrow on the road, and to be honest I have never noticed driving over it, you are usually nose to tail.

If I am stopped on the inside at the lights, I will wave the car on the outside to go first.

The other thing that really pissed me off is when the pedestrian lights are red, so I stop on the roundabout leaving the entry road from 9 clear, it says on the road KEEP CLEAR and there is always someone behind me tooting.

Anyway I don't want to deflect this away from the thread title, sorry guys, just explaining a point.

Yeah this pisses me off about our roads too, go to places like Germany they have road signs before junctions/roundabouts showing lane configuration which means those who aren't from the area don't have to guess and cause havoc because road markings aren't visible due to traffic.

Ok this isn't bad driving but I feel worth sharing. An uber driver accidentally picks up a prozzie off the street.

Am calling it fake - driver was a terrible actor and what are the chances the real passenger would call the split second the other woman got out of the car.

What was that at 0.15 in the ditch?

Looked like another car?
