magnatom said:Hi Col,
Haven'tdisagreedheard from you in a while.
Where could I have pulled over? I move at a fair pace and by the time I move in, it would have been time to move back out again. Also note the big green bus up ahead that would have blocked him anyway.
Nah. I think it was just his time of the month.....![]()

I know to keep your pace it means not moving into gaps that would mean pulling out again in a couple of seconds,but crossing the roundabout,i would have been on the left of the lane and secondary as i exited too,giving them a chance to pass maybe,and a little further there seemed to be a gap long enough to let them pass,but only if your not wanting to keep the pace granted,but something i would probably have done.

I don't mind compromising my progress on the road a little to make it easier for someone else, but there are limits to how much delay I'll inflict on myself when it's only to assuage the impatience of a motorist behind, who'll pass me anyway in a few seconds and is unlikely to have lost any time overall.
