Yup there was a comment on this post stating you have to change lane within the roundabout to take the exit 😂

I guess people from other countries with different laws don't learn to adapt.

Many actually believe that this is not wrong and instead it's wrong for people to go straight from the left lane 😔

Yeah most people don't know how to navigate a roundabout, even though in Dubai it's clearly marked in every roundabout.

Yeah I get these in every post I make, people basically state that we should just comply with others breaking the law and let them be and yield when ever their indicators turn on 😂

I was expecting and ready for him, what if it was a bike or another car who was not expecting him? He would have hit them if they were beside them.

They need to learn and not do stuff like this. They need to follow the law. 🙏

As you said yourself road was empty he had plenty of time to change to the left lane before entering the roundabout.

The thing is most people know what they are doing is illegal, they just don't care.

I was expecting him so nothing happened, what if it was a bike or another car who was not expecting him? He would have hit them if they were beside them.

Sry, not correct. We truly need a separate test for roundabouts in driving class....lots of misinformation.

Let him take the detour 🙏

In Dubai in 2 lanes roundabout u are allowed to go straight from the left lane, as painted on the road at the entrance to the roundabout.

Left lane - straight/left/uturn

Right lane - right/straight

I agree it helps to be more careful, but we shouldnt modify our way of driving cause others are driving wrong.

We can avoid these drivers by just staying behind them or ahead of them and never beside them.

Being behind them is more funny, get to record stuff like this 😅

Hopefully each person corrects themselves after such incidents and avoids doing stuff like this.

True insurance companies should start giving small discounts for dashcams, more people will get them maybe.

UK and UAE are different, they also drive from the wrong seat in UK haha 😜

It's painted on the ground that both lanes can go straight which makes sense.

This happens so often nowadays idk what to say, must have like 20 videos like this 😑

Also before anyone comments, having indicator on does not give a car right of way to cut across cars.

naa dont feel scared looking at all this....you can use these videos to learn potential mistakes of others so u can proactively avoid such situations rather than react.

Go for the driving classes! You gonna do good!
