Also, while I'm here: Stopping at a roundabout when there's nothing coming. Using the wrong lane at a roundabout. Illegal Electric bikes.
cackleberry Oct 2024 11:03am, 4 Oct 2024 4,096 posts	0 cackleberry urgh, on roundabouts... Has there been an update on how to use them or something? Almost every car I see leaving the roundabout is still indicating to go further round. It has got to the point where I do not trust ANY driver/car on the roundabout and will wait until it's definitely clear for me to go.

There is a second hand book I'm holding off on buying because I can only find it in hardback and I have the rest of the series in paperback and it would look horrible on the shelf. I don't even put novels on the shelf, they get stacked in little towers until I decide I'm not going to re-read them and take them to the charity shop.
