    What a strange day...

    1. Entered Heron quays roundabout this a.m., with a van entering from
    the junction to my right[picture me entering at 6 o'clock, him at 4:30
    ish]. He's in lane 2, I'm in lane 1. [I need to exit at 12 o'clock].No
    problems, you might think, until he decides to exit [at 9 o'clock]
    without indicating. Cue hefty tug on brakes and Linda sat on my
    shoulders.

    2. Overtaking "bendy bus" up Cannon St tonight. Quite gently, ~20mph.
    Get level with bus driver's door to be confronted with u-turning
    Metrocab. Repeat circus act from episode #1.

    3. The pedestrian X-ing along the Highway is being moved. Eastwards.
    By around 8m. No, I can't work out why, either. Traffic down to one
    lane each direction.

    4. MV 750F4 tonight.
    Reg # MU51C
    MV

    Flash git. It did sound lovely, mind you.

    problem?

    You'll get shoulder ache with her on top too much.
    It's an extra 8m of braking for you on the Wing.

    **** me!
    I thought I was slow, but no way does it take me 6 hours to get round the
    roundabouts, Even with the wife sat on my shoulders!

    There seems to be some confusion over priorities on roundabouts.
    Some people think you give way to vehicles on your right ON the
    roundabout, others think you give way to vehicles on your right
    APPROACHING the roundabout.
    Perhaps the van driver was the latter type and you the former.
