A copy of the latest version of the highway code (the online one is out of date too). Mine has a bit about how to negotiate roundabouts and use things called indicators to let other road users know what I'm about to do. Obviously this section has been removed.

That bit was removed some time ago mate... the flashing orange lights were too much of a distraction for some drivers...

Nothing specific. We have a roundabout near us, it's massive, with 7 exits on it. For some reason folk drive round the outside of it, meaning that folk who are using it correctly can't get to their exits. Same with spiral roundabouts, they're feckin simple, so why the fcuk can't folk use them either.Originally posted by steve s View Postwhat happendDo you know that, with a 50 character limit, it'sComment

If mr plod applied the rules correctly (which they rarely do), someone with 2 front and 2 rear fog lights on at the wrong time, could have a £120 (or is it £240?) spot fine and 12 penalty points. 3 points and a C&U fine for EACH lamp.Originally posted by sv1000spilot View PostAnd on most cars they are optional extra anyway..

same with "give way to vehicles ON the roundabout".. not vehicles 100yds from the roundabout doing 50mph...
i've pulled onto roundabouts in a truck and had people beeping at the back of the trailer... i usually stop and get the paper out and have a read, if they're gonna be impatient, i'll hold them up a little bit longer!...nee nar nee nar, i'm a fire engine!Comment

And people in vauxhall nova's pulling on to a roundabout and then jamming theire brakes on. This happened to me and I hit them at about 5mph. I totally destroyed the Nova and shortened it by about 2ft.
Damage to Surf, none not even a scratch, bullbar took full impact. I did have the Nova's rear screan on my bonnet though.monstercreations.org.ukComment

Hehehe!! I do that when towards the end of a narrow road, another car just entering about twenty yards from the other end, expects me to reverse about 1/4 mile so they can get passed.Originally posted by da SLUG man View Post
I must learn sign language and lip reading so I know what they're on about as the go passed.Comment

I actually do that due to the amount of people who think that no indication means you're taking the first exit, even when you're pointing towards the junction across.Originally posted by da SLUG man View PostComment

People NOT indicating before they pull off a roundabout, thus leaving the poor suckers waiting to pull ON to the roundabout at that exit sitting there like numpties.
Selfish tw@ts cant be ar5ed to move their finger to the indicator stalk. There's a lot of selfish tw@ts on the road now. You seem to have noticed!Cutting steps in the roof of the worldComment
