Roundabouts

Do people not know how these work?

Twice now in the past week I've almost been involved in a serious crash.

Not posting this in the Motor forum as they are far too hot headed in there.

The first one was a man in a truck. It happened on the roundabout outside ballymun NCT test centre. He was in the wrong bloody lane and almost went ploughing into me, I jammed on, had two of my girl friends in the car and they got an awful fright. Truck stalled in the middle of the roundabout for a few seconds while myself and several others blew our horns, he then gave the fingers and drove off. Tbh I actually don't think he even believed he was in the wrong. Frightening to think he thinks this is the way to drive on a roundabout.

Second incident was a woman. Took place on the first roundabout just off the m1 heading into Holywell/airside.

Makes my blood boil.

If that's all you noticed about the incident then is it any wonder you almost crashed?!

OP do you realise that trucks needs wider turning circle than cars and so you should either let them go ahead and hang back till they're almost round or give them as wide as berth as possible.

Don't care what your reasons are.
