Rovers do they do any speed other than 41 mph 468

Could be where you are. Surrey, Suslove and increasingly Hants seems to be populated by loons who think that they must never be overtaken, that they do not need to observe rules about priority at junctions and roundabouts and that if another driver attempts to overtake or give warning of their presence on the road that they should be "taught a lesson".

Actually at the moment I have to say it's mostly middle aged women that seem to have the monopoly of pee-poor driving at roundabouts and junctions. They seem to work on "I'm a woman, men hold the door open for me, I have priority at all times."

Had a woman attempt to T-bone the Ford at a mini roundabout last week, I was turning right and she was approaching the roundabout from my left, heading straight on. Didn't even think of touching the brakes. I was already on the roundabout and she was heading for the rear pbuttenger door. I sounded horn, floored the throttle, and just managed to swing around and down the road faster than I liked. At the next set of lights she pulled up alongside me and told me that she objected to me sounding the horn at her.

I pointed out that she hadn't attempted to slow and she told me that at roundabouts traffic going straight on has "right of way". I told her I'd buy her a copy of the Highway Code.
