    Driving around Hyde Park / Burley in Leeds is hair raising at any time of day.

    Appologies, I meant to say a roundabout, but yes you're right at a junction, right, left then right again

    When I passed my test many moons ago, I'm sure if you were going straight over at a roundabout you didn't indicate, I know now you have to when exiting, am I right or was this not the case

    Probs for many drivers with roundabouts,when in the 70s and 80s hardly any roundabouts with more than 2 exits.
    New drivers today are much more educated with theory and tuition.
    Not everyone however follows the rules.
    We all bend them from time to time, but forget when someone else does.
    Many more drivers now so chances of meeting a dick is tenfold chance.
    Followed a chap in national speed limit at weekend doing 20mph.
    No it wasnt an old bloke .
    21 plate 4x 4 too.

    For the last one they can get into trouble as it would be deemed unsafe to alight.

    Yeah I agreed with him yesterday but thought what he did the other morning was just to get a reaction.

    They made engines more efficient - so rather than driving the same size car we used to and pocketing the extra 15mpg, we drive bigger more comfy cars that do the same mpg we got used to.
