CharlieP Jan 2017 1:44pm, 17 Jan 2017 617 posts	Quote Pin CharlieP I pulled off the A610 today, and just as I reached the roundabout at the bottom of the sliproad the lights turned amber. It was one of those 50/50 calls - I went through rather than braking hard, whereas the car in the lane to my right stopped, as it was fractionally further back. The car behind me, however, followed me through, overtook me on the outside, overtook another car on the inside, overtook another car on the outside and exited the roundabout. I really hope they never kill anybody.

XB Jan 2017 2:29pm, 17 Jan 2017 4,465 posts	Quote Pin XB [I use "undertaking" as shorthand for overtaking on the inside.] People on side roads who steam up to junctions. They scare the bejeezus out of me.

Red Squirrel Jan 2017 4:33pm, 17 Jan 2017 19,764 posts	Quote Pin Red Squirrel Not having leave approved because "Potentially that's a busy week". Other colleagues having leave approved in the ring-fenced extremely busy times when we're all supposed to be here. This results in me having no help as I'm the only sucker here during the ring-fenced times and it becomes very stressful. Goalposts!
