We must have missed the part of the Highway Code which says you can
ignore the road user already on the roundabout if they're riding a
bicycle...

road.cc reader Lyndon said this one is "another example of how some
people are just bad people."

"This happened before 7:00am on my way to work. As I entered the
roundabout I made eye contact with the driver approaching on my left,
and he made eye contact with me.

give way to cyclist at roundabout

"However, he proceeded to drive straight through the roundabout without
so much as slowing down, forcing me to swerve right and hit the brakes.
The cherry on the top of this terrible excuse for driving was the
prolonged and soulless glare from the driver, window down, as he
barrelled past me.

"Just another absolutely pathetic, small angry man in a 2 tonne weapon.
I have not reported this to Thames Valley Police as I was not killed
this time and therefore their matrix will deem the driver is completely
innocent. I have uploaded enough footage far worse than this that has
not so much as raised an eyebrow."

Thames Valley Police appeared on road.cc recently, after a reader sent
us a video of a frightening incident involving a land rover driver using
their vehicle to push a cyclist towards the kerb, moments after shouting
abuse for not using the cycle lane.

The driver, after the report was twice downgraded, was only sent a
warning letter.
