If I ever saw somebody do that around here I'd give them a f**king medal.

Around here the roads seem to be full of people who trundle up to roundabouts, brake, stop, put the handbrake on, look right, look left, look right again, check their mirror and then release the handbrake and trundle on to the roundabout.

all regardless of whether there's another car anywhere within 5 miles or not.

Seriously, what's up with applying a little situational awareness BEFORE arriving at the roundabout in order to decide whether it's neccesary to stop or not?

I agree with Tonigmr2 about the speed some people drive at though.

I've been stuck behind some old duffer on a country road doing 40mph, unable to overtake and then, when we pass through a village, he carries right on going at 40-odd mph whereas I feel compelled to slow down to a more sensible speed and, thus, I fall behind the old duffer until we leave the village.

There's one stretch of road where this is particularly annoying because the only potential overtaking places are straight bits of road either side of the villages.

I imagine the old duffer is sat in his Honda, looking in his mirror and thinking
