As someone who lives in the country and doesn’t drive in cities/towns often, this is something I can be guilty of. Multi lane roundabouts with multi lane exits. Obviously the locals know exactly which lane to be in and I don’t want to be in the wrong lane for my exit. Then you come to the country and drive 45 on a nsl road I know like the back of my hand.
I can understand your frustration here, but I can also empathise with the other drivers here who I'm sure are trying their best to navigate one of the many oversized roundabouts that exist in the UK. These roundabouts are a mess and it can be very difficult, even for the best and most experienced of drivers, to be able to safely and smoothly get around one of them when you are faced with the confusing road markings and inconsistent signage that are usually present at these large roundabouts in the UK. When I'm driving around these roundabouts, I never know if or when I should be indicating because the roads continue for quite a while and you often encounter a series of red lights between stints of driving at 30 mph before you eventually start to approach your exit. This roundabout here in your video is a rare example where there are additional road markings aimed to guide drivers between lanes, but even with these guide markings it probably isn't very obvious where you should be if you want to be at your desired exit. Even Google Maps will usually guide you from one lane to the next as you are driving around one of these roundabouts towards your exit.
I understand what you are saying, however all 3 lanes from the right were going in the same place but he was pushing me in the wrong lane. All drivers involved were taking split second decisions
Well, I`m not filming it, the dashboard camera dose the recording. I`m not rushing home to upload it, I want to reach home safely as for the part of uploading the clip, well, better then the alternative.
I blame whoever scribbled lines all over the road - that is a dogs breakfast of lane markings, no wonder people get confused.
It is a confusing road but also they need to be aware of the surrounding traffic participants

I can imagine you filming this then running home to upload it. Just have some patience and get offline, this is really not a big deal.

I dont see a problem here. Usual round about confusion.
@@specialandroid1603 magic word is confusion which can create haos and accidents
I was supposed to be where the red car but the black was a quarter next to me so I couldn’t go in my lane as the first lane goes in exit
0:20 look at your own lane choice.....
