To think this screaming Audi woman was the one in the wrong?!

[clarabellb]

Some woman going crazy as if I nearly caused an accident but I think she was actually in the wrong???

So I need to know if it is actually me that's wrong and perhaps change the way I drive if I am.

You can see from the diagram there are three roads on this roundabout. I was going to take my first exit, she was going to take her second.

So, I went as nothing in the exit to my right. But she drove straight over the top of the roundabout and almost into the side of my car. Then started going crazy at me.

It was just a slightly raised painted white circle in the road if this makes any difference?

I await the verdict of the MN jury.

Thanks

My diagram is rubbish so I attach map

Looks like you had right of way

I'm confused, why couldn't you both go? Why did she nearly drive into the side of you? Was there but enough room for you to both pass each other?

Where was she going to? I can't picture how she was near the side of your car?

You had right of way, she wasn't on the roundabout and didn't use it properly. A mini roundabout is still a roundabout. You both would have been able to go if she'd used it properly.

You have right of way. She has to give way to immediate right. Which is you.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused! Which road where you driving on? Verulam Road?

Is it a tiny mini roundabout?

You were approaching from her right, you had right of way, regardless of the size of roundabout.

Those roundabouts dont really count as roundabouts wrt right of way if you had an accident (or so said my friends insurers when they settled 50:50 in a similar case). So best to try not to crash ... so audi woman was a pushy nutter

I think she shouldn't have driven straight over the roundabout and you didn't have anyone to your immediate right so I am thinking you were correct.

Sorry, ignore me, just seen your first diagram!!

Sorry, I see she was going for her second exit. Still can't work out how she nearly hit you.

You still treat them as roundabouts, mini or not

Because instead of going round the roundabout she drive over the top of it.

From what I read the other driver is someone who was at least temporarily unfit to drive (too tired, stressed or some other reason), judging by her reaction.

Sorry DROVE

Ifyou were taking the first turn, is that the same one she was coming out of?

I don't get why she would have to drive over the top of the roundabout? You weren't in her path?

Any way she was in the wrong, driving over the top of a roundabout is not good driving.

Yes that's right mumof56, and I have no idea...except perhaps to save time?!

Okay, thank you everyone. I was starting to think perhaps these type of roundabouts you can drive over and maybe I was being stupid!

Do Audi drivers have their brains removed when they purchase their cars?

She sounds dangerous.

Do Audi drivers have their brains removed when they purchase their cars?

Only the ones who had one in the first place.

But anyway, you have to go round a roundabout - the clue is in the name - so from the description provided, the OP is right and the Audi woman wrong.

She was wrong.

I drove over one of those little bumpy painted roundabouts today at the giggling request of the DCs. No one else was anywhere near!

Obviously you had right of way. But regardless, even if she'd gone if she wasn't driving like a maniac there wouldn't have been a problem.

Was she screaming anything in particular, OP? And what did you say back?

I live in your town and know that roundabout well. You absolutely had right of way. If she'd gone round properly, there's no way she would have been anywhere near your car.
