SubscriberThere is a roundabout near my place at Yattalunga on Avoca drive where the roundabout starts at 2 lanes on Avoca Drive with a right angle off to Saratoga and Yattalunga and becomes one lane immediately after the roundabout on Avoca Drive.How do you pass on a roundabout? If there are two lanes, then each driver is entitled to travel at their own speed in each lane. Or do you mean those single lane roundabouts that are really wide so trucks can navigate safely? If so, and one car is travelling slowly, I don't see a problem with overtaking as long as the exit is wide enough.
I have been overtaken by a person in the right lane desperate to get one car ahead on Avoca Drive on several occasions.
Now the recommended safe speed into a roundabout is 40Kmh ( in NSW) and these people came from behind at 60-or 70 to force in ahead.
IMHO this is dickhead stuff.

SubscriberIf I've got the right intersection, the merge distance to the single lane is 65m effective (90m total). Whilst I agree with you on dickhead behaviour and speeding (and the absolute imperative of getting one car space ahead), I wouldn't have an issue with a slow vehicle being overtaken.Originally Posted by PhilipA

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
Cynical Moi?
More your ****wit stuff.
Have you ever tried the UK M1 with even small roadworks?? Straight up the inside without a care in the world. You never see them again so obviously they pushed their way in & gone. Seems only idiots await their turn. I did.
Selfish & inconsiderate me, me, me, stuff.

They may dress a tad better but remember they were probably a 1st class hoon earlier in their driving ability.Yes Heather, one gets a far better class of hoon, in a Range Rover.
