to think it wasn't her right of way?

On my way to the shops yesterday, came to a mini roundabout which was busy, traffic queuing from all three directions, so we were doing the "no, you go first" roundabout dance. The woman to the right of me decided to go, but her exit was blocked with a queue of traffic, so she effectively parked her car across the roundabout, blocking me in. My exit was clear so I could have gone.

I must admit to making a Hmm face which probably wasn't the best idea because she saw me and shouted "it's MY right of way!" and then glared at me for the next couple of minutes until the traffic moved and she drove off.

AIBU to think it wasn't her right of way? And even if it was, I was under the impression you shouldn't go if your exit is clear?

I think I need to relax Grin

Ok, I'm really sorry, this is obviously something that's got to you.

I accept, I don't know and don't understand the situation. I just couldn't see how you could be in the right from the description you gave - I expect it was more complicated in reality. I was reacting to the posting seeming to suggest the person already on a roundabout has to give way - it's a problem where I live that people tend to treat mini roundabouts as if they were just turning left or right, so I am a bit sensitive too about rules of the road.

I shouldn't have commented without knowing the full details.
