Roundabout smidsy 208 BNG

Buddy wasn't looking for traffic already in the roundabout. Got the "sorry wave" after. I have an escape plan on this roundabout, which is to merge with the apron in the middle should this happen. I have to work on my annunciation: I can't understand if I say A or 8 for the second-to-last character from the plate. Also I say J when I meant G. Need to learn my NATO alphabet!

I get that a lot... and I drive a car! They are just interested in driving straight without stopping & looking. If you're interested, you can see a few examples in my channel.

@t1sutton Yep think I've seen a few on your channel!

Yikes!!

@CyclingMikey I started taking a different route to work for a while that's about 800 metres longer that avoids this. Maybe I should start doing that again (-:

thank goodness for airzound

Good reflexes there. That makes no sense. I hate when people don't give way to traffic. >:(

He was probably wondering what a yield sign even was.

I'm still not a fan of these more 'major' roundabouts. The ones you have shown on quieter roads (single lane RAB) look fine, but these ones would scare the crap out of me.

@CycleMan2200 Definitely agree!

[CycleMan2200]

@alexwarrior1 Sounds like incompetence to me.

@CycleMan2200 I could see in the side window as he approached that he simply wasn't looking.
