I was pulled over by a very polite man called Tony who said I had pulled out in front of him at a roundabout and was upset.
When I explained to him how to use a dual carriageway roundabout he was not convinced and said he was sick of people like me and was going to post me on Facebook.
So Tony here is the Highway Code explained...
1) In the picture you are the car I n the outside lane of the dual carriageway entering the roundabout travelling straight over. (Bottom right)
2) As the picture shows as you are in the outside lane you have two choices
A) Turn right
B) Exit the roundabout on the outside carriageway
Moving across the traffic as you exit the roundabout to swap lanes to one which is now occupied is not an option.
The proof is that if you were entering a section of dual carriageway and there was a car approaching in the outside lane which then changed lanes and collided with you than the car which changed into your lane would be at fault. The same is true of a dual carriageway roundabout.
Never seen anything quote so bad. Firstly, the driver stopped after missing their roundabout exit during rush hour, then reversed into their exit. Next roundabout he was in the wrong lane, and ended up pulling out into 3 other lanes.
The driver and his passenger parked over two disabled bays at McDonald's in Blaydon, they then threatened to beat up a lady who asked them to move, when the lady drove off they started to follow her.
This driver just crashed into the side of my car and drove off. At the next set of traffic lights when asked for his insurance details he refused and drove off. He has been reported to the police.
