    This cyclist is so sick of nearly ending up in your boot because you slam on your brakes to give way to cars that are not in the roundabout. Heres a tip if you are in the roundabout you have the right of way.
    Amen! They're putting lots of these in here (one near us, and many more coming), and the drivers have not a clue what to do with them. Perhaps we need remedial drivers ed? They also speed up, pass right before the roundabout (thinking the bike can't keep up) and then slam on brakes. ARGH!

    One of the locals I know told me when they first put the roundabout in people just drove straight over the top of it.

    I guess they are improving, I havent seen anyone do that.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
