It's the same as pushing in the queue. The same queue has to give way to you as you go round that exit of the roundabout, holding people up.

It's nothing like pushing in the queue! Roundabouts are self regulating, pushing in the queue isn't!

This all started because Dixon says he has done it and he got flamed. All I have said, as others have too is that he isn't the only one who has been known to do it. Why people think this is an excuse for a row I don't know. Some people do it some don't, end of story. Why people have to get on their high horses I don't know.

No, I only piped up to state that Dixon wasn't the only one who has been known to do it. Then I get abused. Wasn't for an argument, just to state that he wasn't alone.

Put simply, it's selfish and inconsiderate of others.

By doing this, you prevent those trying to turn left at the roundabout from doing so, thus worsening the situation.

As I said above, imagine what would happen if everyone did it.
