Thou shalt retain ones lane upon yonder round-a-bout

I'm fed up with entering a 2 lane roundabout with another car, only to have them treat it as a single lane roundabout and have to slam the brakes on to prevent them ramming into my side.

There are lines and arrows on the road, use them!

Thou shalt still give way to the right on a roundabout, and any other traffic already using the roundabout.

F*ck the "new" rules on this one, the old one was fine!

Why do people insist on entering a roundabout - usually in your blind-spot, too - while you attempt to follow the rules and stick to your lane in a mulit-laned roundabout? I've been soooo tempted to cut people off for doing this to me, but I have respect for my car (and the income that bought it and keeps it in good condition).

It's usually some tool in a work ute loaded with tools and three bodies across the bench seat, so not only do they take off at the wrong time (either just before you get to them or just as you get beside them), they don't have the power/brakes/handling to at least get out of your way if you DID choose to cut them off...

Grrrrrrrrrrr... :)

to piss us off ... not to mention scare the shit out of you in the process

i wanna know who gave them their liscence <_<

think that instructor or RTA official needs to be shot

Wow... some interesting interpretations of our road rules. could be made simple with only one.

Give way to the person traveling on the road in front of you or on the road space you want to enter.

And remember who is working, they are quite often bigger than you!

    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
    • Well, moulded carpets should fit well if the buck they use is the right shape. The finish is then just a case of stiching the trim around the edges. Shuoldn't be too hard to get it right. Back in the day, replacement carpets were all "fitted", in that they were stitched together, with cuts and slices taken out to make them form the shapes. Many more opportunities to get it wrong, hence all the concern over good vendors and bad vendors.
