|  BMW Drivers **NOT SAFE FOR BMW DRIVERS! :)**
Hi there, Nearly had an accident this morning. Not sure how roundabouts (traffic circles) work in the rest of the world - in the UK and South Africa, you give way to traffic coming from the right. I reached a roundabout this morning, was there first, and entered the junction. There was a woman in a Beemer who had not even reached the line yet who decided to start accelerating and tried to get through the junction before me. She nearly hit me, would have if I hadn't stopped in time. She then looked at me and wagged her finger back and forth at me with a "You bad person" expression on her face. That really got me! She then screamed off down the road leaving me behind. BMW drivers in this country seem to think they own the roads. No use of indicators, cut people off and don't give a hoot about motorcyclists. This is one of the reasons I want to buy an M1 Abrams tank. Not even a Beemer can outrun an armour piercing shell.  |
