That's the problem no one drives like anyone else. So you get everyone trying to do the same thing their own different way which just ends up causing problems like this.

It was an Asian bloke coming home from work in a 06 plate Zafira that hit my poor Corsa

I clouted someone a few years back on a roundabout.  They we're in the left lane, clearly marked one of two lefts (1st one an entrance to a business park) or straight on only.  I was in the right lane, which was marked straight over or right.  My lane was moving very well, left lane was crawling.  I'm happily taking the exit straight over and saw the car in the left lane turn into me - glancing impact I was doing a fair chat (well within the limit) - he ended up upside down down the culvert off the roundabout, I ended up in the dead ground between the up / down straight on - wedged between two signs - all the maneuvering I could do not to hit them head on.

Plod came, guy said his sat Nav said take the 3rd exit and he never saw the first minor left exit so decided at the last minute to carry on round (no indication not that that would have mattered).  Was asked if I wanted to make a complaint, said no, other driver admitted full culpability to plod and was therefore given a caution only.  Biggest hassle from it was the hire company trying to fob me off with a petrol zafira for my 1 series diesel (got an upgrade to a new off forecourt 320D) and then bodywork place trying to fob me off for damage to drivers side - minor only and caused by the signage I got stuck between.  Other drivers insurance company we're excellent though - bunging me ££ left right and centre to settle with them and not involve the blame / claim parasites.

Had one today. just come out of the city main centre onto the outer ring road. was first at the left turn only at traffic lights , being on a scooter i took my position centre of the road in a defensive manner. all was good. lights change and i rode the corner onto a dual section of road, indicated with fair warning done my lifesave checks and mirror checks and made my way into that lane. all i saw was a silver Merc hauling speed ( limit is 30 i was at 30, he was doing atleast 45+) , he under took me very close so yes i gave him the two finger salute , he then could not decide what lane to take, left only or left - straight on. 

i went into the left straight on due to the road being dual and i needed to be in the right hand lane. made my move and got round the roundabout and corner. stopped at the pedestrian lights on red and it happened, felt this slight push forwards, the merc drive had came right up behind me and tailtapped my rear tyre. i pulled forwards and he intentionaly did the same again. so i sat middle the road for the next mile doing 20mph lol . he drew up beside me at roundabout and i let loose, called him a ****ing muppet how dare he tailtap me how dare he try bully a leaner rider. same time the van driver behind started shouting at him, he had followed the same dude watching him.

Poxy merc drivers if i see that retard again im going to rub my nice dirty toe guard along is nice shiney piece of scrap of a car, teach him a lesson. got home to a bust L-plate
