• I looked at the street view and it was this roundabout. I've attached a diagram showing our relative positions as I entered. As I said, I saw him a bit before the first position shown. Should I have waited, do you think, given where we were? My judgement about how safe it was to enter the junction was partly driven by the fact that there were two entry lanes on my side and clearly passing room on the roundabout itself. His judgement as to the danger of the manoeuvre was probably driven by the fact he had to pass me back into one lane of traffic at his exit.

  • Looks to me like he was freaked out by the pinch situation and vented at you on the basis of a 'I'm faster than you so you should have given way to the right even though you were there first' thing, which to be honest is quite a common expectation of tractors/trailers/other slower-moving traffic (not commenting if it's a correct expectation or not).
