Is it just me or does this happen to anyone else?

Going round a roundabout ( usually small ones ) and instead of waiting for me to go past and then enter the roundabout once it's clear, they continue on nudging forward so much it seems as though they are going to hit the side of my car as I'm going past. The amount of times this happens every week is ridiculous and don't know why people do it ?

I’ve noticed it more on t junctions where people joining the main road seem to expect it to be clear rather than aim to give way. They always seem surprised there is a car on the main road and do an emergency stop.

Some roundabouts are worse than others for what you experience and I know people will misjudge the gap and pull out on one I regularly use.

People just want to keep moving. Maybe you should negotiate the roundabout faster smile

Do you mean chichanes?

I've no idea what a roundabout is. There are only chichanes and jumps, clearly.

I live near Milton Keynes.
