Are you suggesting that I should not ever use the right hand lane of a 2 lane roundabout if going straight on? I has been more or less alongside this car for perhaps a quarter od a mile. Being a Vauxhall Vectra, which in my book are notorious for the size of the rear offside blind spot, it is possible he did not see me, but that is giving him considerable benefit of the doubt.
NIP arrived. 998I think that there are several things that could be done. When I drive on the continent, I experience driving standards that are worse...
The problem was not where he was or where he was going, but the misleading signal he gave. You are supposed to signal left before exiting a roundabout, not right! If he intended to turn right he should have signalled right before he even got to the roundabout, not just as he was leaving it, and then not actually turn right but go straight on.
The exit from the roundabout was two lanes wide and I would have continued to occupy lane 2. If I had moved into lane 1, ! would have needed to drop back quite a long way to maintain a safe gap behind the Vauxhall, and there should have been no need to do so.
