New offences for cyclists/cycling

[PK99]

I can't see any issue with the driver in the left lane at all. It's not compulsory to exit if you are in the left lane. The car in the right hand is clearly a chump.

O
Hwc 186
When taking an exit to the right or going full circle (unless signs or markings indicate otherwise):
Signal right and approach the exit in the right hand lane
Keep to the right on the roundabout until you need to change lanes to reach your exit
Signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you intend to take

When taking any intermediate exit (unless signs or markings indicate otherwise):
Select the appropriate lane on approach to the roundabout
Stay in the lane until you need to alter your lane to exit
Signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you want to take

With the amount of motorists who do not comply with is worrying. Aside from those who do indicate at all are the clowns who indicate they are going right when they are going straight on.

That the first 3 responses to this are:

• It should be split liability but maybe 60/40
• Person on left is at fault (they were, as they used the left lane to turn right [3rd exit on a 4 lane roundabout])
• Person on right is at fault (they were, as they tried to exit when it wasn't clear to do so)

Probably vindicates the 50/50 (or at least some form of split liability) verdict!

I'm not up for an argument on this, but it does seem to me that being in the wrong lane is a somewhat less bad thing than driving directly into a car that is easily visible to you. So 50 50 seems harsh. I'd put the blame an the guy doing the colliding but add mitigation that the other guy was in the wrong lane.

But no one is asking me, so that's OK.
