Saved the Omega from certain death today  Was giving a foreign lorry driver plenty of room on the roundabout then he decided to cut me up forcing me into the curb  If i had carried on i doubt he would of even noticed half the car embedded in the side of his trailer

Well done.

Sadly drive like everyone else is an idiot is the way to go.

There's blah blah blah how many deaths and RTAs on the roads each year.. the statistic nooone will ever know is just how many accidents were prevented, because of good and observant drivers. Hats off Mr EMD.

That's how my sons car got trashed a few years back. He was already stationery at a roundabout when a foreign lorry took an extra wide sweep and wiped out the side of his car.
The lorry never stopped, as let's face it, what is an extra ton and a half hanging off the side of a forty ton'er. My son phoned the police from the scene and was told to produce his licence at his nearest police station. They weren't interested at all, it was us that had to do the tracing and chasing. 

At least you managed to take evasive action but it certainly makes you aware of what could have been.

Begs the question why you were in that position to begin with

Either hammer down or hold back, but certainly keep well away...

3 lanes on the roundabout , he took the outside lane i took the inside to go round and he went straight over taking 2 and a half lanes  I always give them a wide berth but thats just taking the piss .

When at Any junction,roundabout, or in the same country as a LHD truck stay out of the way, especially the blind-spot.
 
They approach the roundabout on the left, then sat nav says" take the right lane" so they do, instantly, then look in the mirror, DAF has the largest blind spot.

I allways try to look at the plates when coming alongside HGVs, if they are "left hookers" then as was said before, hammer down or wait and see.

[EMD]

I went to put the hammer down but good job i never as he crossed 2 lanes pretty quickly and narrowing my path that i had to brake sharpish  Still lesson learnt to watch out for the foreign plates and the cooker on the side
