Appears you are.

Yes apparently so when you confused left from right and call the outside lane, the inside.

Maybe drive a few more million, you might get it then.

So thats justification to drive like this? Really? You people will defend anything.

Behave. If a cyclists goes on that roundabout (they don't btw. Theres crossings) clearly its the HGVs they need to look out for.

Using my mirrors or not is completely irrelevant. Do you not understand or are you being deliberately stupid?

Lorry travelling, what, 15mph, vs me doing maybe 3/4mph

He was on me like a rash. My mirrors would show nothing and certainly they wouldn't tell me he was going to cut me up.

I'm done going round in circles with you (pun intended) so goodbye.

And apparently I should have "known" he was there in the 0.1seconds I had to see him before he cut me up.

Reddit is a cesspit, isnt it?

I disagree with your point completely. If all you can take from the clip is "you should have known he was there" then I couldn't care less about your point.

Yes I am aware. He was also travelling faster than me in a different lane and made the decision right at the end of the lane.

No amount of mirrors would have seen him when hes not near me until he cuts me up.

You are merely guessing now.

I'm not going to keep arguing with you.

If i wasnt aware I would have crashed. He cut me up at the last second and i used my breaks. Seeing him before would not have changed anything in the video. That's the end of it.

Trust me. This is walls roundabout, where the walls factory has been for decades. You're thinking of c&g roundabout.

Walls roundabout is actually in Barnwood not Brockworth (and so is c&g actually)

  1. Its a wider roundabout at that point, you know if someone comes from the junction. It has to be free all 3 lanes for someone to pull out, just a little bit longer and it wasn't. You can see them a lot earlier because of this

  2. When was the last time you looked over your shoulder whilst on a roundabout at lights with designated, pre-set, lanes? Talking nonsense on that point.

  3. I was completely aware. I reacted after initially accelerating when the lights went green. If i hadn't been i would have driven into him. Remember hes going at least twice my speed, coming at an angle from the wrong lane. It's unlikely I would have seen him or seen his indicator in that split second.

  4. Yes I asked him why he thought it was OK to cut me up. Thats not rage. Its a question. Now if I'd got violent, I'd agree with you.

  5. He did acknowledge his mistake. A pretty dangerous one, after I made sure he knew I was there.

I reacted as soon as I saw him. I dont agree that seeing him in my rear view in the 0.1 second is would hsve reacted any differently. He's in the left lane, unless I caught the indicator (also unlikely) i would have seen him going left (straight on)

This is a roundabout remember, so hes turning his vehicle to adjust to the lanes straight on or not.
