E***RAU shame on you!
 
I was patiently queuing in the right hand lane for the roundabout next to the Chelmer Retail Park in Chelmsford this morning when a blobeye WR Blue STI went past me in the left lane and then cut infront of me right at the front of the queue!

Whoever you are, you may have found this funny but you are showing scooby owners in a bad light!

Its your own fault for leaving a gap..

A gap is an invitation, everybody knows that.

I miss being able to use the wrong lane at islands now I dont have AWD :(

Well it wasn't like I left a gap really.

There are two lanes up to the roundabout and you can use either lane to go straight ahead, which is where most of the traffic goes. Not being in a big hurry to get to work I stick to the busier right hand lane so that people wanting to turn left aren't held up unnecessarily. It's not unusual for people to use the left hand lane to go straight ahead but most people stick to the right like me.

What happened to me this morning was that the blue STI was approaching on the left with nothing in front of him just as the car infront of me pulled onto the roundabout. He then swerved infront of me and stopped for traffic to pass rather than stay in his lane. I suppose it saved him merging later on but it caught me by surprise, lucky I didn't put my foot down before I saw him! Or was he worried that I'd take him on the roundabout in my bugeye WRX?:idea:

If he'd stuck to the left lane I'd have just grumbled under my breath as usual but swerving in front of me at the last second was a little prevocative.

There is always somebody does it, I now work on the basis that it may aswell be me !

Cutting infront is not on i spose, maybe he thought as another scoob driver you'd just let him in...

Ideally he should have gone the whole way round in the left lane ;)

Yes, it's that roundabout but in the other direction with normal lanes so he/she could have stayed where they were. By the way I love that lane which lets you straight onto to the roundabout, you take it nice and fast! :norty:
