Nice lane discipline from the guy in green!

police are already there

Dificultt o interpret really, but one seems to be in lane, thesecond appears to have been in the inside lane (quite posibly correct if he was leaving at the next exit) and has been forced to stop by a blue van and a silver car pulling out in front of him, and one inexplicable.

 

[PBancroft]

I would have said the left most two were OK. As Cunobelin suggests, number two (fnar!) looks like he's stopped because of the car pulling out in front of him. The guy in green is looking like a numpty though.

The green looks like he's on a fixie too.

The green looks like he's on a fixie too.

That explains it all?

 

[Tynan]

I reckon the sliver car has had to stop his probably ok pull out because of the loon in green

so possibly he's the only one at fault, can't say I like the very wide line the chap on the very wide line is taking, I use to go round there back in the day, on roundabouts like that I take primary in the appropriate lane, I don't think you can get involved in lane splitting on a big roundabout, too much going on to let cars disregard you

 

[HLaB]

I don't know the roundabout my self but going round it anticlockwise against traffic doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Is that an an ambulance car on the loons right, waiting for the almost inevitable?

Silver car has batted Mr Green out of the lane and he's spinning around trying to stay upright.

 

[Rip Van]

Guess the guy with the helmet has it right.

 

[semislickstick]

To me it looks like there was some kind of incident with the Blue van and cyclist and guy in green is going back or checking his pal is ok.

 

[semislickstick]

....actually, have a play with the before and after photos....there is something going on with the blue van and cyclist and guy in the green has come from that lane and turned to see what's going on.

 

[garrilla]

Going back about 5 steps (step -2 does nto include the event) it seems the silver renault has been out over the line for a while and has not moved, stalled perhaps? Green man, seeing the opportunity, attempts to filter directly into the middle lane and is perhaps not blamed as previously thought.

It is, of course, impossible to know, but I love the speculation that these google streetview captures present... its like a nearly interactive version of Crown Court
