We took Jethro on a 50 mile round trip this morning and driving up to a roundabout and turning right with offside trafficator and flashing indicator operating we were nearly broadsided by a moron who, failing to give way to vehicles coming from the right, sped straight ahead in front of us and scowled at me as if I was the one in the wrong!
I won't mention if the dope in question was male or female as all too often we encounter both drivers continually failing this simple task and not being able to understand five simple words............
GIVE WAY TO THE RIGHT!!!

Slightly off subject, but--------
A more common practice when approaching a roundabout is the action of staying in the lefthand lane and travelling round to the 3rd or 4th exit. Those in the righthand (correct) lane wanting the same exit, find the morons on your nearside, almost scraping your wing! These dopes are male and femail.

Again it's the lack of understanding when it comes to negotiating a roundabout.
The procedure is quite simple in theory but the muppets seem to have great difficulty in putting the theory to practical use on the road.
Far easier to just cut everybody else up and look after number one!!

how about the absolute ************ who overtake a scooterist on a fast road and cut in about 2 foot in front of you

even scarier in the rain

Classic Muppet ignorance!

I'm an avid cyclist,Every time I go out dozens of these muppets overtake against on coming traffic to find,oh dear,there's a car coming the other way better pull over to the nearside,don't want to hit it head on.dosen't matter about the cyclist, he can't hurt me, I'll just push him off into the hedge,I'm in such a rush I can't afford to slow down and overtake properly because the 30 seconds it takes will delay me far too much. Yesterday one of these got so close(Yes I was single file before anyone asks doing 28 mph down an incline in a 30mph limit) that this absolute Pr........t clipped my right little finger with his wing mirror.How close was that,another car was coming the other way so be had to buzz me,one inch closer and he would have had me off, and all to do 2 mph faster ,legally,why they can't just slow down is beyond me. I'm usually travelling faster than a horse rider yet they will overtake them properly.See it all the time wherever I go both on the bike and in the car,absolutly unbelievable.
