Mobile I think i must have an INVISIBILITY CLOAK!

Driving to our local Costa the other day my route takes me over several mini roundabouts. Approaching one of them l slowed to make sure nothing coming from my right, as you do, it was clear so i proceeded to go round to the right when suddenly a car came flying across from the left junction, i managed to stop and made a reply to myself of 'thanks for that'. Mrs Gumdrops made a comment "you must have inherited Harry's invisibility cloak", which seemed quite apt.
I must say one of my main bug bears is people not using any roundabout in the correct manner.
Oh well 'rant over', just wondering what winds you Dibbers up when out driving?

When cut up my DH will often slam his hand on the dashboard and say "d*** cloaking device has jammed again!"

I appear to drive an invisible car. I used to think it was because my car was silver and quite small so it blended into the road... I now drive a slightly bigger (but still small) car which is bright red... folk still leap out in front of me to cross the road or pull out of a junction...

My car seems to breathe in, just like the knight bus in Harry Potter. Why do people think they can barge through, when there only space for 1 car, which i am already in?

Not a driving issue, but little old ladies (in the main) with those tartan pull.along shopping trollies.

Left turn Clyde. Stop, start with no warning. People need indicators.

OP. Glad you were able to.stop in time. There is a mini roundabout near us that has regular bumps on. The one 100 meters further down always fine. No idea what's special about that one...

Since we have moved to Kinloss we have discovered that people are just awfully bad at roundabouts! Really frustrating!

I estimate ( not that I have too much time on my hands…) that rush hour congestion would be reduced by 25% if….

1 People used those strange orange lights that come as standard with the vehicle

2 People positioned their vehicle in the correct part of the road when turning…..

For instance….

A right turn is ————

Not //////////////

Back to the coffee and under the invisibility cloak 😂
