ManiaMuse said:But isn't the most dangerous area of of a roundabout traffic coming from the left not seeing you/ignoring your priority? At least that's what I was told when learning to drive and I apply it when I'm cycling by eyeing up every vehicle about to join with suspicion. No-one should overtake you on a roundabout especially if you take the lane and cycle reasonably swiftly so I like to focus mainly on the hazard from the left.
Just because they shouldn't doesn't mean there won't be somebody stupid enough to try. I have come across a few chancers in my time, not just with a cycle, but with a motorcycle also. On two wheels on a roundabout the biggest hazards come from all around.
