Yesterday evening I was travelling round a roundabout at Kearsley near Bolton. There are two lanes on the roundabout, and I was to the right of centre in the inside lane - the correct road position to be seen clearly. I have bright coloured clothes and two bright lights on the front, one flashing and one steady.
A car was approaching the roundabout ahead, we made eye contact; he had clearly seen me, and I have priority, being already on the roundabout. As I went past his entrance, he just kept coming, then slammed on his brakes about 2 feet from my rear wheel. He then accelerated hard and and swerved round me, sounding his horn all the while.
This type of deliberately aggressive, bullying behaviour is not that rare among motorists in Greater Manchester. What can be done about that?
(Unfortunately, no camera footage as I forgot to charge it at work.)
