Is it only me,but when pull off to the left,and stop to allow emergency vehicles to go past,the vehicle behind allways thinks you have stopped,and never wait long enough,and overtakes you.Even with right indicator,they never wait for you to get going again.

I have got to admit that I ballsed up today.

I had 3 dogs in the boot of my estate, music playing and all of a sudden the car in front of me, shot to the side and dropped an anchor from his boot.

I nearly shot up his chuff, swerved and was very nearly squished my a class one coming the other way. BTW, the truck driver flashed, honked and gave me the beans, nob. :laughing:

Thing was, cos the dogs were blocking my rear view, I hadnt caught sight of the ambulance coming up behind us even with all its lights. I was concentrating on the approaching roundabout and just totally didnt see it. Luckily, when I stopped in the right hand lane at the RB, the ambulance got between me and the car I swerved around.

So yes, i pulled away from that RB feeling like a right ■■■. :unamused: :laughing:
