    A new level of driver impatience yesterday. Approaching a roundabout turning right, a large van came flying up behind us doing about 50 mph and we were in a 30 zone.

    So we enter the roundabout only for this clown to overtake us by going round the roundabout the wrong way.

    He literally turned right at the roundabout. It was lucky there wasn’t anything coming the other way as it is a blind junction due to trees etc.

    Didn’t catch it on the cameras due to the angle we were on the roundabout, but it would have been a good clip.

    We live on a busy road, with a pedestrian crossing followed by a double light-controller junction just up the road.
    This last Monday we were sat in the car with indicator flashing & waiting to pull out of the parking spot outside the house.
    A driver behind slowed to a stop to allow MsD to pull out, so far so good.
    Then MsD had to anchor on because not one, but two drivers behind the halted driver decided they were too important to wait and drove up the hill on the wrong side of the road, over a blind crest, the wrong way around a pedestrian refuge and through the first red-lit junction. Approximately 200yrds unsighted on the wrong side of the road because they were too important to wait in a queue of traffic, putting everyone around them at risk.
    We’ve already had to drag people out of wrecked cars outside the house because some BMW driving clown was arrogant enough to think accelerating over a blind crest on the wrong side of the road was acceptable behaviour.
