either
1) Get in the right lane at the start or
2) Stay in their lane at a fecking roundabout.
One near me and I'm cut up every time, because they can't stay in the lane and end up drifting over the white line to get into the actual lane they need. |  |

I have the same experience every time I approach the A2 from where I live.
It's staggering how bad people are at driving around here (SE London). It's also genuinely dangerous. More interested in adjusting sun glasses, talking on the phone, eating, reclining in seat, adjusting radio etc. |  | | |

Roundabouts have lanes? Never knew that. Next you’ll be saying that I shouldn’t overtake on the inside. |  | | |

And it's not just the women now.
Where did this habit of randomly stopping to let other cars pull out of side roads come from?!
And why do some divs insist on stopping to let pedestrians cross the road??
FFS.

It’s fine for them to do it so long as they remember it’s Mirror-Signal-Manoeuvre rather than Manoeuvre-Signal(maybe)-mirror |  |

See also flashing hazard lights from time-to-time to say thank you. It's madness and all that stuff is miles more dangerous than people realise. It's the hesitancy bit that gets me - "you go", "no you go" etc - takes longer. | | | |

So fooking annoying.
Very few people bother to indicate now either, particularly at roundabouts. I blame traffic lights making everyone lazier/stupider/more ignorant. |  | | |

Maureen still hasn’t passed her test yet then. |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

Can we add the total loss of spacial awareness too?
Road near me has cars parked on the right as you drive up it, you always used to be able to get two cars up there plus the parked cars. Now cares are randomly stopping to let cars through.
Happens all over the place, cars right in the middle of the road to pass parked cars is another one. | |

Remember, back in the day, you were 'taught' to cross lanes when driving through a roundabout - that was changed years ago but there are still drivers who would have been taught that way. |  |

Yep, if they passed their test in the 20's! ;)
Point taken on the age thing by the way. | |

At a junction drivers should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which you are turning." | | | |

It's not entirely clear to me if this also applies to cyclists, for instance I was turning into a junction today at the same time as a couple of cyclists were riding along a cycle path that crossed the junction. I wasn't sure who had priority there.
I let them go just in case. |  |

You were correct. A car is the more deadly form of transport so you should give way. Apparently.
I assume, if were you driving your car down the cycle track, the bin lorry needs to give way to you. | |

Turning right on the A12 roundabout from Kesgrave towards Tesco.
Absolute nightmare with lanes there. | | | |

Try driving round Milton Keynes regularly, as well as the aforementioned there is always one person doing 50ndown the dual carriageway in the outside line because they are turning right in 8 roundabouts time |  |

Cyclist has priority. The heirachy of users thingy is now law so you made the right call.
As an aside, my cycling buddy and me were agreeing how much politer many cars are now compared to a year ago. Very welcome changes imho. |  |
