Ha! I had this in the Vito this morning.. at Transit pulls out (Nothing behind me at all) in front goes 20mph.. sees me overtake then tries to race me onto the forthcoming roundabout.. WTF??
Round 2/ I approach another roundabout ..its just a standard cross type roundabout and I can see the traffic ahead approaching the roundabout. There are two lanes either side:
On My Side - I have one lane that turns left only and one for straight ahead. On the opposing the inside lane is for turning right, the outside lane is for straight through only.. so there's my opposer comes towards me to go straight through, no indicators at all (not needed if traveling straight through) I move to turn my left and... there he is "Last minute Larry" turns hard right on to me and gives it all the w4nker signs of the day as if I had pulled out on him..Sorry mate, outside lane straight through only, you changed across two lanes without indicating and nearly broadsided me... Cheers Mate!
Elderly driver, I suspect, nowhere urgent to go and in no hurry to get there, can't keep up with modern traffic conditions, most of the time just a touch frightened if he/she's honest. I'd have done exactly what you did; there's no point flashing or hooting.
Either that, or he is driving for economy, or there's a tight bungee cord wrapped around his scrotum and connected to the throttle pedal...

Or possibly left?
Personally, and I know (and don't care ) that it contravenes the Highway Code, on almost any roundabout I indicate left if I'm going left, and right for anything else until I'm passing the exit before the one I intend to take, when I start indicating left.
Ok, so why do you indicate right if you're going straight on?

If you look at the photo I'm on Paddock Street, About to turn left at the Tesco Express, My oncoming traffic (thats one facing me E55BOF) approaches the Roundabout and will be either going straight through or turning right (keeping Tesco Express on his left) okay, E55BOF
It seems to me the overtaker commited an offence passing on chrevons. I head for the door.
