You see it everywhere when there's 2 lanes entering a roundabout. The ****ers either fall into one of the following.
A) Can't decide what lane to be in so straddle both lanes entering.
Decide to drive as much as possible in the middle of the lanes thus effectively blocking both lanes.
C) Enter in left lane for say taking 2nd exit at 12 o'clock but decide to try make it in as straight a line as possible and cross from left lane to right lane before crossing again to take exit.
D) Left lane for taking say a 3rd exit at 3 o'clock position. Extra bonus points for indicator which of course makes them have right of way and you are wrong.
E) Exit lanes. Sure who needs to be in the right lane leaving a roundabout either. 2 lanes in becomes one lane out for most of these cnuts.
F) Free xmas dinner if they can manage all of the above.
D....heading south on N3 where it meets M3 the amount of clowns using left lane on roundabout to take 3rd exit at 3 o clock beggars belief.
What if someone was using the right lane to take 2nd exit?0 -
Skipping the rip off M4 toll today. The white Merc should have stayed on the motorway...
The white van slowed from 80kph to less than 60kph.

No doubt the moron sped up again once he got passed the van!0 -

the left lane is the inside lane.... i know what you mean but .....just saying
Sorry i meant they use the left lane approaching roundabout, cut into right lane on roundabout, and then cut back into left lane at 3rd exit.
Another 1 is left lane approaching, right lane on roundabout and left lane on exit 2 straight ahead. Are they apexing the corners or am i missing something? Is there a particular reason for it?
Oh and no indicators

Depending on the roundabout, I'd be understanding of lane straddling. Especially in Dublin.
There are too many inconsistencies with roundabouts and the sudden 'left/right' turn only lanes appearing, but you never realise it because they only have the arrow/writing on the road itself (which, of course, you can't see as there is traffic covering it).
A lot of people would be driving in unfamiliar territory in dublin. Lots of one-off visitors or people going up to buy, collect, drop things, or for work, visit airport, etc. unlike other places where 99% of the traffic is local and familiar with the roads.
Easily sorted with a load of new 'get in lane' signs around the city, though. I'm getting more and more familiar with Dublin each day, but I still hate the place, and still find myself playing the guessing game on certain roundabouts and junctions as i haven't a clue where the 'X turn only' lanes will suddenly appear from.0 -

Roundabouts are my biggest pet peeve when it comes to other road users. One of the scenarios I encounter most often is someone in the right hand lane taking a 12 o'clock exit. Absolutely ridiculous.0 -

Technically not a dashcam. But still cool. Also obvioius when the car slows down while the engine's still pushing - or it's only really doing 60-80kph/0 -
For some reason, every time I try to put up a vid on the Go Advanced tab to use the YouTube tab, the page just goes blank within 2 seconds and won't allow me to link it properly.0

Don't want to break the illusion but...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%27%C3%A9tait_un_rendez-vousShot in a single take, it is an example of cinéma-vérité. The length of the film was limited by the short capacity of the 1000 foot 35mm film reel, and filmed from a (supposedly) gyro-stabilised camera mounted on the bumper of a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9. A photo has surfaced that seems to reveal an Eclair cam-flex 35mm camera with a wide angle lens, and a typical "speed rail" hard mount—no gyros—on a Mercedes. This model, which could reach a top speed of 235 km/h (146 mph), was only available with a three-speed automatic transmission, yet one can hear gear changes up into fifth, as well as heel-and-toe down-shifting with a high-revving engine indicating speeds of well over 200 km/h. Calculations made by several independent groups showed that the car never exceeded 140 km/h (85 mph).[1] Lelouch himself claimed that the top speed achieved was somewhere between 230 km/h and 240 km/h.[2] Lelouch claimed during a "making of" documentary that the soundtrack was dubbed with the sound of Lelouch's Ferrari 275GTB, which has a corresponding number of gears and a V-12 sound that is quite distinct from that of any V8, including the 6.9 litre V8 of the alleged Mercedes camera car.
It's still brilliant though!0 -
Being so low to the ground the camera makes the car appear to be going really fast, but still it's going at least twice the speed of other traffic.

Looking at the other vehicles there, that video is probably 1970s or thereabouts.
Edit: it says 1976 in the title...... :pac:
I lost count of the red lights jumped.
