Sooperstar Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 It is incredible. Sometimes I can appreciate that someone might be in the wrong lane (for whatever reason that might be), but if that's the case then they should remain in the lane they are in and only change if they are 100% certain it is safe to do so. Otherwise they should just continue in the incorrect lane. It might add a few extra minutes onto their journey time but it's better to be safe than sorry. But instead many people just seem to panic and just swerve over. Arseholes. Thing is, in this example, I'm talking folk that are in the right lane as they go onto the roundabout but just can't seem to stick to it while driving round the roundabout. They veer way into the lane for turning right and then go back to their own lane as they exit the roundabout straight on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Yeah, but it's not always as straight forward as your diagram. A number of smaller roundabouts have three lane approaches and if the drivers are not familiar with the road markings they could make a genuine error. Having said that, most drivers are lazy and or selfish so who knows? I would agree with that in some ways. I've always believed signs or road markings should be placed much earlier prior to approaching a roundabout, because like you say, if you are strange to the area and they make the inside lane left turn only,what happens is people get caught out and end up pissing off a big line of traffic because you signal to move across to the right lane( albeit safely, slowly and with consideration ....and before exiting roundabout) However, what happens at the roundabout I spoke of earlier isn't down to unfortunate strangers. Once you're in lane you know what you should do even if you want into another lane. It's just inconsiderate, ignorant bar stewards who should accept they are wrong and go around again.

tian447 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Yeah, it was dark and I never got his plate. A new exhaust and wheel for me. I know this is no good to you now mate, but I would recommend investing in a dashboard camera. I've had mine since the day I bought my car (new driver in February) and I love the damn thing, I would never drive without one now. It just gives you that extra safety net for if anything like that happens again I bought a Garmin one for about ?120, but it would more than pay for itself if anything was to happen on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a pet peeve for me as well. If I find myself in the wrong lane for something like this, I accept I've made an arse of it, and take the wrong turn off and will sort it out later, rather than potentially causing an accident trying to merge into a lane of traffic that isn't expecting it. 99% of drivers are dickheads.

Harry Potter Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Prick at Sherrifhall yesterday. Driving along the bypass, going straight on at the roundabout. This stupid ******* chooses the outside Lane and cuts right across me at the exit, totally oblivious. I had to brake and swerve and if there had been anyone inside me then I'd have hit them. Naturally I beeped the **** out of my horn and the arsehole just carried on, staring straight ahead. No acknowledgement, no apology. Probably had big blinkers on, just get to work in quickest time mode, other drivers, dont care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWJ Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 If it's two lanes going onto two lanes at the straight-on or right hand exit on a roundabout then why not use the right hand lane *as long as you keep right when exiting* ie use the right hand lane of the road you're joining. That way traffic can turn a simple left onto the road you're joining too - ie both lanes being used, speeds up everyone's journey. BTW if you seethe at drivers using roundabouts in Edinburgh I strongly suggest you never - ever - drive in Inverness.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 So annoying. I bet the welt just drove on regardless. Happened to me a few years ago at the Hermiston Gate roundabout. Prick cut straight across and banged into me. Insurance went haffers because the companies stated it was notoriously difficult to attribute blame on roundabouts. That is bollox for a start. It was the arseholes fault and I regret not calling the police at the time. Prick banged into me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
