• OT: A roundabout lesson for Alan Baker

    From Thomas E.@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 7 10:59:16 2023
    From a Windsor Ontario site:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hKXirnvf_I

    Since Alan has few or no multi-lane roundabouts like this in Vancouver he needs a lesson.

    At 2:00 in the video we are told that to make a left turn you MUST move to the left lane before entering the roundabout. Then you must wait for a gap in the traffic and enter in the left lane and stay there until you exit. Watch the blue car.

    At 3:00 in the video we are told that to make a right turn you MUST move to the right lane before entering the roundabout. Then you must wait for a gap in the traffic and enter in the right lane and stay there until you exit.

    At 3:47 in the video we are told that to go straight you can use EITHER the right or left lane. Watch the yellow and light green cars as they go straight. Note that the 2 yellow cars transit together, side-by-side, straight on. The green car goes through
    straight on by itself in the left lane the entire time.

    The rest of the video covers encounters with trucks and emergency vehicles.

    These lane use rules and the road markings are exactly those in Carmel IN. One difference is that we do not require signaling exits. Our reasoning is that transit is so quick that it's too easy to make an error, confusing other drivers.

    What should have happened is shown by the 2 yellow cars going straight on at 3:50 in the video. The stay-right rule you assume must apply in this situation is contradicted by the path of the green car at 3:55.

    With regard to the accident, the other driver broke these rules. She was intending to make a left turn from the right lane. My wife did not break any rules. The other car was not in sight to my wife, and even if it was she would have expected it stay in
    its lane, go straight on, and not cross into our lane. The other driver had no reason to assume that we might not be turning left. Our lane was marked for straight on or a left turn. She crossed the lane line and hit our car.

    This was the conclusion of the investigating police officer and the other driver's insurance company. We had no liability for this accident.

    End of argument.

    Wrong again Alan, look at the green car in the video as it goes through by itself in the left lane. The strict stay right rule does not always apply in this situation.

    You were not there, you do not know if it was even advisable to move to the right lane in the traffic as it existed at the time.

    So according to you, then, he couldn't write anything!

    The accident report REQUIRES the officer to make a determination of
    agressive driving, you Lying Little Shit. It was literally written on
    the form.

    through by itself in the left lane. The strict stay right rule does

    ...IN THEN ROUNDABOUT, YOU LYING LITTLE SHIT!


    You were not there, you do not know if it was even advisable to move
    to the right lane in the traffic as it existed at the time.

    I know that when you initially told the story, you had a car going
    faster than you were that you saw coming and it was in the right lane
    and you were in the left lane.

    It was only later on that a magical third car appeared and blocked your
    view.

    A car was approaching from behind with the obvious intention to overtake
    yours.

    Your wife should have seen it coming and moved over. In fact, she should
    have (as a matter of proper driving ettiquette if not law) been in the
    right lane to begin with. For your intended travel direction there was
    no need to be in the left lane in the roundabout.


    You are the one that is lying here.

    Really?

    What do you claim I'm lying about?

    Would it be akin to you lying when you said:

    "Since Alan has few or no multi-lane roundabouts like this in Vancouver
    he needs a lesson."

    That's a lie by mistating the issue. The number of roundabouts is not
    germane to the question of whether or not I have lots of experience with driving in roundabouts.

    There could only be a single multi-lane roundabout in all of the Lower Mainland, but I could still be very experienced with their use.

    As a matter of fact, there are a few multi-lane roundabouts with which I
    am VERY familiar.

    The multi-lane roundabouts on 16th avenue which I used regularly while traveling out to UBC to play hockey:

    <https://www.google.com/maps/@49.2550803,-123.2389851,374m/data=!3m1!1e3>

    The DOUBLE multi-lane roundabout at the exit of Highway 1 onto McCallum
    Road:

    Unlike you I actually have a life outside of newsgroups. So I don't sit around waiting for your lame replies. Does your employer know that you monitor this group constantly looking for an excuse to post?

    Well, I did find two 4 lane roundabouts on W 16th Ave. Like I said, few of these in your area. We will have 150 total in this city by the end of the year. You still need a lesson.

    As has been explained many times we were in the roundabout when the other car was seen by me for the first time just before the collision. You are NOT supposed to change lanes in the circular. We had no reason to think that driver was going to ignore the
    signage or think we were intending to turn left. We do know that she was heading east before entering the intersection and in the wrong lane to turn left. There was other traffic in the right lane going straight on.

    I never said a third car blocked our view. I did say there was heavy morning traffic that made it advisable to stay in the left lane.

    That green car in the video was in the left lane, all by itself, approaching, going through and exiting the intersection. It's done all the time. I have shown numerous videos and pictures of cars in the left lane all by themseves. It's not a hard and
    fast rule that everybody follows. I cited a quote from an official BC driver where a BC driver asked if that was the case. He was told no, if traffic is not trying to pass it's OK to be in the left lane.

    Stop lying and admit the truth.

    when you said:

    "Since Alan has few or no multi-lane roundabouts like this in

    The number of roundabouts is not germane to the question of whether
    or not I have lots of experience with driving in roundabouts.

    There could only be a single multi-lane roundabout in all of the
    Lower Mainland, but I could still be very experienced with their
    use.

    As a matter of fact, there are a few multi-lane roundabouts with
    which I am VERY familiar.

    The multi-lane roundabouts on 16th avenue which I used regularly
    while traveling out to UBC to play hockey:

    Unlike you I actually have a life outside of newsgroups. So I don't
    sit around waiting for your lame replies. Does your employer know
    that you monitor this group constantly looking for an excuse to

    Do you worry your lying little head about what my employer knows, Lying
    Little Shit.


    Well, I did find two 4 lane roundabouts on W 16th Ave. Like I said,
    few of these in your area. We will have 150 total in this city by the
    end of the year. You still need a lesson.

    You think the overall number is what is important, Lying Little Shit?

    Fascinating.


    As has been explained many times we were in the roundabout when the
    other car was seen by me for the first time just before the
    collision. You are NOT supposed to change lanes in the circular. We
    had no reason to think that driver was going to ignore the signage or
    think we were intending to turn left. We do know that she was heading
    east before entering the intersection and in the wrong lane to turn
    left. There was other traffic in the right lane going straight on.

    And I never said she wasn't in the wrong lane IN THE ROUNDABOUT for a
    left turn, Lying Little Shit.

    But you were supposed to be in the right lane BEFORE the circular...

    ...as Indiana law required.


    I never said a third car blocked our view. I did say there was heavy
    morning traffic that made it advisable to stay in the left lane.

    You did later claim that a third car blocked the view of the oncoming
    car that eventually hit you, Lying Little Shit.

    Shall I produce the quotes?

    :-)


    That green car in the video was in the left lane, all by itself,
    approaching, going through and exiting the intersection. It's done
    all the time. I have shown numerous videos and pictures of cars in
    the left lane all by themseves. It's not a hard and fast rule that
    everybody follows. I cited a quote from an official BC driver where a
    BC driver asked if that was the case. He was told no, if traffic is
    not trying to pass it's OK to be in the left lane.

    BC is not Indiana, Lying Little Shit.

    I quoted the law that required you to be in the right lane.

    Must I quote it again?

    :-)


    Stop lying and admit the truth.

    At 2:00 in the video we are told that to make a left turn
    you MUST move to the left lane before entering the
    roundabout. Then you must wait for a gap in the traffic and
    enter in the left lane and stay there until you exit. Watch
    the blue car.
    Look, you Lying Little Shit:

    I have never suggested that your wife should have changed lanes

    That is a lie.
    Look!

    At 3:00 in the video we are told that to make a right turn
    you MUST move to the right lane before entering the
    roundabout. Then you must wait for a gap in the traffic and
    enter in the right lane and stay there until you exit.

    At 3:47 in the video we are told that to go straight you can
    use EITHER the right or left lane. Watch the yellow and light
    green cars as they go straight. Note that the 2 yellow cars
    transit together, side-by-side, straight on. The green car
    goes through straight on by itself in the left lane the
    entire time.

    The rest of the video covers encounters with trucks and
    emergency vehicles.

    These lane use rules and the road markings are exactly those
    in Carmel IN. One difference is that we do not require
    signaling exits. Our reasoning is that transit is so quick
    that it's too easy to make an error, confusing other
    drivers.

    What should have happened is shown by the 2 yellow cars
    going straight on at 3:50 in the video. The stay-right rule
    you assume must apply in this situation is contradicted by
    the path of the green car at 3:55.

    With regard to the accident, the other driver broke these
    rules. She was intending to make a left turn from the right
    lane. My wife did not break any rules. The other car was not
    in sight to my wife, and even if it was she would have
    expected it stay in its lane, go straight on, and not cross
    into our lane. The other driver had no reason to assume that
    we might not be turning left. Our lane was marked for
    straight on or a left turn. She crossed the lane line and hit
    our car.

    Your wife broke the rules about which lane she should have been
    in BEFORE you reached the roundabout.
    This was the conclusion of the investigating police officer
    and the other driver's insurance company. We had no liability
    for this accident.

    End of argument.
    And he didn't mention speeding or aggressive driving....

    ...which is what made you bring up the whole thing in the
    first place.

    The officer was not there when the accident happened. He cannot
    write up what he did not see.
    So according to you, then, he couldn't write anything!

    The accident report REQUIRES the officer to make a determination
    of agressive driving, you Lying Little Shit. It was literally
    written on the form.

    Wrong again Alan, look at the green car in the video as it goes
    through by itself in the left lane. The strict stay right rule
    does not always apply in this situation.
    It doesn't apply...

    ...IN THEN ROUNDABOUT, YOU LYING LITTLE SHIT!

    You were not there, you do not know if it was even advisable to
    move to the right lane in the traffic as it existed at the time.
    I know that when you initially told the story, you had a car going
    faster than you were that you saw coming and it was in the right
    lane and you were in the left lane.

    It was only later on that a magical third car appeared and blocked
    your view.

    A car was approaching from behind with the obvious intention to
    overtake yours.

    Your wife should have seen it coming and moved over. In fact, she
    should have (as a matter of proper driving ettiquette if not law)
    been in the right lane to begin with. For your intended travel
    direction there was no need to be in the left lane in the
    roundabout.

    You are the one that is lying here.
    Really?

    That is a lie.
    Look!

    Unanswered by the Lying Little Shit!

    :-)
    At 3:00 in the video we are told that to make a right
    turn you MUST move to the right lane before entering the
    roundabout. Then you must wait for a gap in the traffic
    and enter in the right lane and stay there until you
    exit.

    At 3:47 in the video we are told that to go straight you
    can use EITHER the right or left lane. Watch the yellow
    and light green cars as they go straight. Note that the 2
    yellow cars transit together, side-by-side, straight on.
    The green car goes through straight on by itself in the
    left lane the entire time.

    The rest of the video covers encounters with trucks and
    emergency vehicles.

    These lane use rules and the road markings are exactly
    those in Carmel IN. One difference is that we do not
    require signaling exits. Our reasoning is that transit is
    so quick that it's too easy to make an error, confusing
    other drivers.

    What should have happened is shown by the 2 yellow cars
    going straight on at 3:50 in the video. The stay-right
    rule you assume must apply in this situation is
    contradicted by the path of the green car at 3:55.

    With regard to the accident, the other driver broke
    these rules. She was intending to make a left turn from
    the right lane. My wife did not break any rules. The
    other car was not in sight to my wife, and even if it was
    she would have expected it stay in its lane, go straight
    on, and not cross into our lane. The other driver had no
    reason to assume that we might not be turning left. Our
    lane was marked for straight on or a left turn. She
    crossed the lane line and hit our car.

    Your wife broke the rules about which lane she should have
    been in BEFORE you reached the roundabout.
    This was the conclusion of the investigating police
    officer and the other driver's insurance company. We had
    no liability for this accident.

    End of argument.
    And he didn't mention speeding or aggressive driving....

    ...which is what made you bring up the whole thing in the
    first place.

    The officer was not there when the accident happened. He
    cannot write up what he did not see.
    So according to you, then, he couldn't write anything!

    The accident report REQUIRES the officer to make a
    determination of agressive driving, you Lying Little Shit. It
    was literally written on the form.

    Wrong again Alan, look at the green car in the video as it
    goes through by itself in the left lane. The strict stay
    right rule does not always apply in this situation.
    It doesn't apply...

    ...IN THEN ROUNDABOUT, YOU LYING LITTLE SHIT!

    You were not there, you do not know if it was even advisable
    to move to the right lane in the traffic as it existed at the
    time.
    I know that when you initially told the story, you had a car
    going faster than you were that you saw coming and it was in
    the right lane and you were in the left lane.

    It was only later on that a magical third car appeared and
    blocked your view.

    A car was approaching from behind with the obvious intention
    to overtake yours.

    Your wife should have seen it coming and moved over. In fact,
    she should have (as a matter of proper driving ettiquette if
    not law) been in the right lane to begin with. For your
    intended travel direction there was no need to be in the left
    lane in the roundabout.

    You are the one that is lying here.
    Really?

    What do you claim I'm lying about? Would it be akin to you
    lying when you said:

    "Since Alan has few or no multi-lane roundabouts like this in
    Vancouver he needs a lesson." That's a lie by mistating the
    issue. The number of roundabouts is not germane to the question
    of whether or not I have lots of experience with driving in
    roundabouts.

    There could only be a single multi-lane roundabout in all of
    the Lower Mainland, but I could still be very experienced with
    their use.

    As a matter of fact, there are a few multi-lane roundabouts
    with which I am VERY familiar.

    The multi-lane roundabouts on 16th avenue which I used
    regularly while traveling out to UBC to play hockey:

    Unlike you I actually have a life outside of newsgroups. So I don't
    sit around waiting for your lame replies. Does your employer
    know that you monitor this group constantly looking for an excuse
    to post?
    Do you worry your lying little head about what my employer knows,
    Lying Little Shit.

    Well, I did find two 4 lane roundabouts on W 16th Ave. Like I
    said, few of these in your area. We will have 150 total in this
    city by the end of the year. You still need a lesson.
    You think the overall number is what is important, Lying Little
    Shit?

    Fascinating.

    As has been explained many times we were in the roundabout when
    the other car was seen by me for the first time just before the
    collision. You are NOT supposed to change lanes in the circular.
    We had no reason to think that driver was going to ignore the
    signage or think we were intending to turn left. We do know that
    she was heading east before entering the intersection and in the
    wrong lane to turn left. There was other traffic in the right
    lane going straight on.
    And I never said she wasn't in the wrong lane IN THE ROUNDABOUT for
    a left turn, Lying Little Shit.

    But you were supposed to be in the right lane BEFORE the
    circular...

    ...as Indiana law required.

    I never said a third car blocked our view. I did say there was
    heavy morning traffic that made it advisable to stay in the left
    lane.
    You did later claim that a third car blocked the view of the
    oncoming car that eventually hit you, Lying Little Shit.

    Shall I produce the quotes?

    :-)

    That green car in the video was in the left lane, all by itself,
    approaching, going through and exiting the intersection. It's
    done all the time. I have shown numerous videos and pictures of
    cars in the left lane all by themseves. It's not a hard and fast
    rule that everybody follows. I cited a quote from an official BC
    driver where a BC driver asked if that was the case. He was told
    no, if traffic is not trying to pass it's OK to be in the left
    lane.
    BC is not Indiana, Lying Little Shit.

    I quoted the law that required you to be in the right lane.

    Must I quote it again?

    :-)

    Stop lying and admit the truth.
    What lie have I told, Lying Little Shit?

    Except that is not the applicable law, you lying little shit. We were
    not impeding 3 vehicles. There was traffic on our right, turning
    right.
    That's something you invented in your narrative later.

    https://law.justia.com/codes/indiana/2018/title-9/article-21/chapter-5/section-9-21-5-7/#:~:text=IC%209-21-5-7%20Reduction%20of%20speed%3B%20impeding%20normal%20and,safe%20operation%20or%20in%20compliance%20with%20the%20law.

    IC 9-21-5-7 Reduction of speed; impeding normal and reasonable
    movement; right-of-way to other vehicles; violation Sec. 7. (a) A
    person may not drive a motor vehicle at a slow speed that impedes or blocks the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when
    reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or in compliance with
    the law. A person who is driving:

    (1) on a roadway that has not more than one (1) lane of traffic in
    each direction; and

    (2) at a slow speed so that three (3) or more other vehicles are
    blocked and cannot pass on the left around the vehicle;

    shall give right-of-way to the other vehicles by pulling off to the
    right of the right lane at the earliest reasonable opportunity and allowing the blocked vehicles to pass.

    (b) A person who fails to give right-of-way as required by subsection
    (a) commits a Class C infraction.
    You're doing it again, Lying Little Shit:

    Pointing something out to me as if you discovered it...

    ...when in fact, I first showed it to you...

    ...then you tried to claim it didin't apply because "not a highway"...

    ...and then I showed you that ALL roads in Indiana are highways.

    Regardless of who found it first, the law is clear. One more thing is clear. You were not a witness to what happened. You do not know if it was reasonable for my wife to move to the right outside the roundabout, or not. You did not see where that other
    car came from. Clearly it was not in front of or behind us where it belonged for a left turn. If behind or even beside us it was reasonable to expect the other driver to exit with us, not try a left turn from the right lane. That's what the police report
    said and the other driver's insurance adjuster agreed.

    It's you who is testifying without proof. Stop lying about what you cannot even know.

    That you've changed your story about what exactly happened multiple times.

    You were not a witness to what happened.

    Wow! Something true!

    You do not know if it
    was reasonable for my wife to move to the right outside the
    roundabout, or not.

    But I DO know that you've tried on multiple times to evade from the fact
    that I was talking about outside the roundabout and kept lying to
    pretend I was talking about inside the roundabout.

    You did not see where that other car came from.

    And depending on which version of events you give, you saw it coming for
    a while...

    ...or there was another car that prevented you from seeing it.

    Clearly it was not in front of or behind us where it belonged for a
    left turn.

    Clearly, you weren't in the right lane before the roundabout...

    ...where you belonged if there was a car that wanted to overtake yours.

    If behind or even beside us it was reasonable to expect
    the other driver to exit with us,

    And the lie is that I ever claimed anything else.

    not try a left turn from the right
    lane. That's what the police report said and the other driver's
    insurance adjuster agreed.

    The police report also said that it was not agressive driving, and the
    form REQUIRED the officer to make a determination about that.


    It's you who is testifying without proof. Stop lying about what you
    cannot even know.

    Back at ya, Lying Little Shit!

    How many lies have you told about me by making assumptions about things
    "you cannot even know"?

    End of argument.
    And he didn't mention speeding or aggressive
    driving....

    ...which is what made you bring up the whole thing in
    the first place.

    The officer was not there when the accident happened. He
    cannot write up what he did not see.
    So according to you, then, he couldn't write anything!

    The accident report REQUIRES the officer to make a
    determination of agressive driving, you Lying Little Shit.
    It was literally written on the form.

    Wrong again Alan, look at the green car in the video as
    it goes through by itself in the left lane. The strict
    stay right rule does not always apply in this situation.
    It doesn't apply...

    ...IN THEN ROUNDABOUT, YOU LYING LITTLE SHIT!

    You were not there, you do not know if it was even
    advisable to move to the right lane in the traffic as it
    existed at the time.
    I know that when you initially told the story, you had a
    car going faster than you were that you saw coming and it
    was in the right lane and you were in the left lane.

    It was only later on that a magical third car appeared and
    blocked your view.

    A car was approaching from behind with the obvious
    intention to overtake yours.

    Your wife should have seen it coming and moved over. In
    fact, she should have (as a matter of proper driving
    ettiquette if not law) been in the right lane to begin
    with. For your intended travel direction there was no need
    to be in the left lane in the roundabout.

    You are the one that is lying here.
    Really?

    What do you claim I'm lying about? Would it be akin to you
    lying when you said:

    "Since Alan has few or no multi-lane roundabouts like this
    in Vancouver he needs a lesson." That's a lie by mistating
    the issue. The number of roundabouts is not germane to the
    question of whether or not I have lots of experience with
    driving in roundabouts.

    There could only be a single multi-lane roundabout in all
    of the Lower Mainland, but I could still be very
    experienced with their use.

    As a matter of fact, there are a few multi-lane
    roundabouts with which I am VERY familiar.

    The multi-lane roundabouts on 16th avenue which I used
    regularly while traveling out to UBC to play hockey:

    Unlike you I actually have a life outside of newsgroups. So I don't
    sit around waiting for your lame replies. Does your employer
    know that you monitor this group constantly looking for an
    excuse to post?
    Do you worry your lying little head about what my employer
    knows, Lying Little Shit.

    Well, I did find two 4 lane roundabouts on W 16th Ave. Like
    I said, few of these in your area. We will have 150 total in
    this city by the end of the year. You still need a lesson.
    You think the overall number is what is important, Lying
    Little Shit?

    Fascinating.

    As has been explained many times we were in the roundabout
    when the other car was seen by me for the first time just
    before the collision. You are NOT supposed to change lanes in
    the circular. We had no reason to think that driver was going
    to ignore the signage or think we were intending to turn
    left. We do know that she was heading east before entering
    the intersection and in the wrong lane to turn left. There
    was other traffic in the right lane going straight on.
    And I never said she wasn't in the wrong lane IN THE ROUNDABOUT
    for a left turn, Lying Little Shit.

    But you were supposed to be in the right lane BEFORE the
    circular...

    ...as Indiana law required.

    I never said a third car blocked our view. I did say there
    was heavy morning traffic that made it advisable to stay in
    the left lane.
    You did later claim that a third car blocked the view of the
    oncoming car that eventually hit you, Lying Little Shit.

    Shall I produce the quotes?

    :-)

    That green car in the video was in the left lane, all by
    itself, approaching, going through and exiting the
    intersection. It's done all the time. I have shown numerous
    videos and pictures of cars in the left lane all by
    themseves. It's not a hard and fast rule that everybody
    follows. I cited a quote from an official BC driver where a
    BC driver asked if that was the case. He was told no, if
    traffic is not trying to pass it's OK to be in the left
    lane.
    BC is not Indiana, Lying Little Shit.

    I quoted the law that required you to be in the right lane.

    Must I quote it again?

    :-)

    Stop lying and admit the truth.
    What lie have I told, Lying Little Shit?

    Except that is not the applicable law, you lying little shit. We
    were not impeding 3 vehicles. There was traffic on our right,
    turning right.
    That's something you invented in your narrative later.

    https://law.justia.com/codes/indiana/2018/title-9/article-21/chapter-5/section-9-21-5-7/#:~:text=IC%209-21-5-7%20Reduction%20of%20speed%3B%20impeding%20normal%20and,safe%20operation%20or%20in%20compliance%20with%20the%20law.



    IC 9-21-5-7 Reduction of speed; impeding normal and reasonable
    movement; right-of-way to other vehicles; violation Sec. 7. (a)
    A person may not drive a motor vehicle at a slow speed that
    impedes or blocks the normal and reasonable movement of traffic,
    except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or in
    compliance with the law. A person who is driving:

    (1) on a roadway that has not more than one (1) lane of traffic
    in each direction; and

    (2) at a slow speed so that three (3) or more other vehicles are
    blocked and cannot pass on the left around the vehicle;

    shall give right-of-way to the other vehicles by pulling off to
    the right of the right lane at the earliest reasonable
    opportunity and allowing the blocked vehicles to pass.

    (b) A person who fails to give right-of-way as required by
    subsection (a) commits a Class C infraction.
    You're doing it again, Lying Little Shit:

    Pointing something out to me as if you discovered it...

    ...when in fact, I first showed it to you...

    ...then you tried to claim it didin't apply because "not a
    highway"...

    ...and then I showed you that ALL roads in Indiana are highways.
    Let's count the lies and evasions.

    Regardless of who found it first,
    I found it first... ...and you just pretended YOU found it.

    the law is clear.

    You claimed that it didn't apply because the road involved wasn't a "highway"...

    ...until I showed you the law that statest that ALL Indiana roads are considered to be highways.
    One more thing is
    clear.
    That you've changed your story about what exactly happened multiple times.
    You were not a witness to what happened.
    Wow! Something true!
    You do not know if it
    was reasonable for my wife to move to the right outside the
    roundabout, or not.
    But I DO know that you've tried on multiple times to evade from the fact that I was talking about outside the roundabout and kept lying to
    pretend I was talking about inside the roundabout.
    You did not see where that other car came from.
    And depending on which version of events you give, you saw it coming for
    a while...

    ...or there was another car that prevented you from seeing it.
    Clearly it was not in front of or behind us where it belonged for a
    left turn.
    Clearly, you weren't in the right lane before the roundabout...

    ...where you belonged if there was a car that wanted to overtake yours.
    If behind or even beside us it was reasonable to expect
    the other driver to exit with us,
    And the lie is that I ever claimed anything else.
    not try a left turn from the right
    lane. That's what the police report said and the other driver's
    insurance adjuster agreed.
    The police report also said that it was not agressive driving, and the
    form REQUIRED the officer to make a determination about that.

    It's you who is testifying without proof. Stop lying about what you
    cannot even know.
    Back at ya, Lying Little Shit!

    How many lies have you told about me by making assumptions about things
    "you cannot even know"?

    I was also talking about outside the roundabout! What proof do you have that we were slower than prevailing traffic? What proof do you have that we were holding up traffic behind us. Therefore what proof do you have that we were obligated to move to the
    right lane you lying little shit?

    The officer did not state that the other driver was not driving aggressively. He did not state that she was either. There was no "requirement". He did not see the behavior, he could not say either way, you lying little shit.

    :-)

    At 2:00 in the video we are told that to make a
    left turn you MUST move to the left lane before
    entering the roundabout. Then you must wait for a
    gap in the traffic and enter in the left lane and
    stay there until you exit. Watch the blue car.
    Look, you Lying Little Shit:

    I have never suggested that your wife should have
    changed lanes IN THE ROUNDABOUT.

    That is a lie.
    Look!

    Unanswered by the Lying Little Shit!

    :-)
    At 3:00 in the video we are told that to make a
    right turn you MUST move to the right lane
    before entering the roundabout. Then you must
    wait for a gap in the traffic and enter in the
    right lane and stay there until you exit.

    At 3:47 in the video we are told that to go
    straight you can use EITHER the right or left
    lane. Watch the yellow and light green cars as
    they go straight. Note that the 2 yellow cars
    transit together, side-by-side, straight on. The
    green car goes through straight on by itself in
    the left lane the entire time.

    The rest of the video covers encounters with
    trucks and emergency vehicles.

    These lane use rules and the road markings are
    exactly those in Carmel IN. One difference is
    that we do not require signaling exits. Our
    reasoning is that transit is so quick that it's
    too easy to make an error, confusing other
    drivers.

    What should have happened is shown by the 2
    yellow cars going straight on at 3:50 in the
    video. The stay-right rule you assume must apply
    in this situation is contradicted by the path of
    the green car at 3:55.

    With regard to the accident, the other driver
    broke these rules. She was intending to make a
    left turn from the right lane. My wife did not
    break any rules. The other car was not in sight
    to my wife, and even if it was she would have
    expected it stay in its lane, go straight on, and
    not cross into our lane. The other driver had no
    reason to assume that we might not be turning
    left. Our lane was marked for straight on or a
    left turn. She crossed the lane line and hit our
    car.

    Your wife broke the rules about which lane she
    should have been in BEFORE you reached the
    roundabout.
    This was the conclusion of the investigating
    police officer and the other driver's insurance
    company. We had no liability for this accident.

    Just another carefully crafted lie by you.

    What proof do you

    You don't have to hold up "traffic" to be in violation of the law.

    lying little shit?

    The law I showed you, complete with an Indiana lawyer's interpretation
    of it.


    The officer did not state that the other driver was not driving
    aggressively.

    Yes. He did. He actually answered NO on the accident report, you Lying
    Little Shit.

    '2. It has a specific box to check for "Was this crash a result of
    aggressive driving", and the officer answered a flat "NO".'

    He was REQUIRED to answer that question.

    He did not state that she was either. There was no
    "requirement". He did not see the behavior, he could not say either
    way, you lying little shit.

    He also didn't say she was speeding...

    At 3:00 in the video we are told that to make a
    right turn you MUST move to the right lane
    before entering the roundabout. Then you must
    wait for a gap in the traffic and enter in the
    right lane and stay there until you exit.

    At 3:47 in the video we are told that to go
    straight you can use EITHER the right or left
    lane. Watch the yellow and light green cars as
    they go straight. Note that the 2 yellow cars
    transit together, side-by-side, straight on. The
    green car goes through straight on by itself in
    the left lane the entire time.

    The rest of the video covers encounters with
    trucks and emergency vehicles.

    These lane use rules and the road markings are
    exactly those in Carmel IN. One difference is
    that we do not require signaling exits. Our
    reasoning is that transit is so quick that it's
    too easy to make an error, confusing other
    drivers.

    What should have happened is shown by the 2
    yellow cars going straight on at 3:50 in the
    video. The stay-right rule you assume must apply
    in this situation is contradicted by the path of
    the green car at 3:55.

    With regard to the accident, the other driver
    broke these rules. She was intending to make a
    left turn from the right lane. My wife did not
    break any rules. The other car was not in sight
    to my wife, and even if it was she would have
    expected it stay in its lane, go straight on, and
    not cross into our lane. The other driver had no
    reason to assume that we might not be turning
    left. Our lane was marked for straight on or a
    left turn. She crossed the lane line and hit our
    car.

    Your wife broke the rules about which lane she
    should have been in BEFORE you reached the
    roundabout.
    This was the conclusion of the investigating
    police officer and the other driver's insurance
    company. We had no liability for this accident.

    End of argument.
    And he didn't mention speeding or aggressive
    driving....

    ...which is what made you bring up the whole thing
    in the first place.

    The officer was not there when the accident happened.
    He cannot write up what he did not see.
    So according to you, then, he couldn't write anything!

    The accident report REQUIRES the officer to make a
    determination of agressive driving, you Lying Little
    Shit. It was literally written on the form.

    Wrong again Alan, look at the green car in the video
    as it goes through by itself in the left lane. The
    strict stay right rule does not always apply in this
    situation.
    It doesn't apply...

    ...IN THEN ROUNDABOUT, YOU LYING LITTLE SHIT!

    You were not there, you do not know if it was even
    advisable to move to the right lane in the traffic as
    it existed at the time.
    I know that when you initially told the story, you had
    a car going faster than you were that you saw coming
    and it was in the right lane and you were in the left
    lane.

    It was only later on that a magical third car appeared
    and blocked your view.

    A car was approaching from behind with the obvious
    intention to overtake yours.

    Your wife should have seen it coming and moved over.
    In fact, she should have (as a matter of proper
    driving ettiquette if not law) been in the right lane
    to begin with. For your intended travel direction there
    was no need to be in the left lane in the roundabout.

    You are the one that is lying here.
    Really?

    What do you claim I'm lying about? Would it be akin to
    you lying when you said:

    "Since Alan has few or no multi-lane roundabouts like
    this in Vancouver he needs a lesson." That's a lie by
    mistating the issue. The number of roundabouts is not
    germane to the question of whether or not I have lots
    of experience with driving in roundabouts.

    There could only be a single multi-lane roundabout in
    all of the Lower Mainland, but I could still be very
    experienced with their use.

    As a matter of fact, there are a few multi-lane
    roundabouts with which I am VERY familiar.

    The multi-lane roundabouts on 16th avenue which I used
    regularly while traveling out to UBC to play hockey:

    <https://www.google.com/maps/@49.2550803,-123.2389851,374m/data=!3m1!1e3>









    The DOUBLE multi-lane roundabout at the exit of Highway 1 onto >>
    McCallum Road:

    <https://www.google.com/maps/@49.0341631,-122.2931191,303a,35y,84.88h,2.22t/data=!3m1!1e3!5m2!1e4!1e1>








    Unlike you I actually have a life outside of newsgroups. So I don't
    sit around waiting for your lame replies. Does your
    employer know that you monitor this group constantly
    looking for an excuse to post?
    Do you worry your lying little head about what my employer
    knows, Lying Little Shit.

    Well, I did find two 4 lane roundabouts on W 16th Ave.
    Like I said, few of these in your area. We will have 150
    total in this city by the end of the year. You still need
    a lesson.
    You think the overall number is what is important, Lying
    Little Shit?

    Fascinating.

    As has been explained many times we were in the
    roundabout when the other car was seen by me for the
    first time just before the collision. You are NOT
    supposed to change lanes in the circular. We had no
    reason to think that driver was going to ignore the
    signage or think we were intending to turn left. We do
    know that she was heading east before entering the
    intersection and in the wrong lane to turn left. There
    was other traffic in the right lane going straight on.
    And I never said she wasn't in the wrong lane IN THE
    ROUNDABOUT for a left turn, Lying Little Shit.

    But you were supposed to be in the right lane BEFORE the
    circular...

    ...as Indiana law required.

    I never said a third car blocked our view. I did say
    there was heavy morning traffic that made it advisable to
    stay in the left lane.
    You did later claim that a third car blocked the view of
    the oncoming car that eventually hit you, Lying Little
    Shit.

    Shall I produce the quotes?

    :-)

    That green car in the video was in the left lane, all by
    itself, approaching, going through and exiting the
    intersection. It's done all the time. I have shown
    numerous videos and pictures of cars in the left lane all
    by themseves. It's not a hard and fast rule that
    everybody follows. I cited a quote from an official BC
    driver where a BC driver asked if that was the case. He
    was told no, if traffic is not trying to pass it's OK to
    be in the left lane.
    BC is not Indiana, Lying Little Shit.

    I quoted the law that required you to be in the right
    lane.

    Must I quote it again?

    :-)

    Stop lying and admit the truth.
    What lie have I told, Lying Little Shit?

    Except that is not the applicable law, you lying little shit.
    We were not impeding 3 vehicles. There was traffic on our
    right, turning right.
    That's something you invented in your narrative later.

    https://law.justia.com/codes/indiana/2018/title-9/article-21/chapter-5/section-9-21-5-7/#:~:text=IC%209-21-5-7%20Reduction%20of%20speed%3B%20impeding%20normal%20and,safe%20operation%20or%20in%20compliance%20with%20the%20law.





    IC 9-21-5-7 Reduction of speed; impeding normal and reasonable
    movement; right-of-way to other vehicles; violation Sec. 7.
    (a) A person may not drive a motor vehicle at a slow speed
    that impedes or blocks the normal and reasonable movement of
    traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for safe
    operation or in compliance with the law. A person who is
    driving:

    (1) on a roadway that has not more than one (1) lane of
    traffic in each direction; and

    (2) at a slow speed so that three (3) or more other vehicles
    are blocked and cannot pass on the left around the vehicle;

    shall give right-of-way to the other vehicles by pulling off
    to the right of the right lane at the earliest reasonable
    opportunity and allowing the blocked vehicles to pass.

    (b) A person who fails to give right-of-way as required by
    subsection (a) commits a Class C infraction.
    You're doing it again, Lying Little Shit:

    Pointing something out to me as if you discovered it...

    ...when in fact, I first showed it to you...

    ...then you tried to claim it didin't apply because "not a
    highway"...

    ...and then I showed you that ALL roads in Indiana are
    highways.
    Let's count the lies and evasions.

    Regardless of who found it first,
    I found it first... ...and you just pretended YOU found it.

    the law is clear.

    You claimed that it didn't apply because the road involved wasn't
    a "highway"...

    ...until I showed you the law that statest that ALL Indiana roads
    are considered to be highways.
    One more thing is clear.
    That you've changed your story about what exactly happened multiple
    times.
    You were not a witness to what happened.
    Wow! Something true!
    You do not know if it was reasonable for my wife to move to the
    right outside the roundabout, or not.
    But I DO know that you've tried on multiple times to evade from the
    fact that I was talking about outside the roundabout and kept lying
    to pretend I was talking about inside the roundabout.
    You did not see where that other car came from.
    And depending on which version of events you give, you saw it
    coming for a while...

    ...or there was another car that prevented you from seeing it.
    Clearly it was not in front of or behind us where it belonged for
    a left turn.
    Clearly, you weren't in the right lane before the roundabout...

    ...where you belonged if there was a car that wanted to overtake
    yours.
    If behind or even beside us it was reasonable to expect the other
    driver to exit with us,
    And the lie is that I ever claimed anything else.
    not try a left turn from the right lane. That's what the police
    report said and the other driver's insurance adjuster agreed.
    The police report also said that it was not agressive driving, and
    the form REQUIRED the officer to make a determination about that.

    It's you who is testifying without proof. Stop lying about what
    you cannot even know.
    Back at ya, Lying Little Shit!

    How many lies have you told about me by making assumptions about
    things "you cannot even know"?

    I was also talking about outside the roundabout! What proof do you
    have that we were slower than prevailing traffic?
    The fact that in your initial post you described a car coming up from
    behind you and getting to slightly ahead of you at the time of the accident.

    And the law doesn't say "slower than prevailing traffic", Little Shit.

    Just another carefully crafted lie by you.
    What proof do you
    have that we were holding up traffic behind us.
    You don't have to hold up "traffic" to be in violation of the law.
    Therefore what proof
    do you have that we were obligated to move to the right lane you
    lying little shit?
    The law I showed you, complete with an Indiana lawyer's interpretation
    of it.

    The officer did not state that the other driver was not driving aggressively.
    Yes. He did. He actually answered NO on the accident report, you Lying Little Shit.

    '2. It has a specific box to check for "Was this crash a result of aggressive driving", and the officer answered a flat "NO".'

    He was REQUIRED to answer that question.
    He did not state that she was either. There was no
    "requirement". He did not see the behavior, he could not say either
    way, you lying little shit.
    He also didn't say she was speeding...

    ...but you used that accident as an example of speeding AND aggressive driving, you Lying Little Shit:

    'let me show you what reckless and aggressive drivers like you can do'

    Remember? No?

    I'll not argue because none of that matters. The other driver entered the circle with the intention of turning left from the right lane. My wife is not a mind reader. She had no reason to think that the other driver was not going to exit with us when we
    turned right in our lane to go straight. The other driver should have turned with us, not rammed into our right front fender.

    of what aggressive driving does, you Lying Little Shit.

    The fact of the matter is that this was STUPID driving.

    Mostly stupid on the part of the the driver who hit you. Definitely.

    But also stupid in that the accident would never have happened if your
    wife had been in the right lane.

    I do drive faster than many people on the road, but I still move to the right-hand lane whenever I can.

    Something I never disputed, Little Shit.

    Obfuscation and deflection do not win, loser. You were not there, and do not know if a lane shift was advisable or even possible.
    I know that the officer explicitly said that aggressive driving was not
    a factor in this accident that you were trying to claim was an example
    of what aggressive driving does, you Lying Little Shit.

    The fact of the matter is that this was STUPID driving.

    Mostly stupid on the part of the the driver who hit you. Definitely.

    But also stupid in that the accident would never have happened if your
    wife had been in the right lane.

    I do drive faster than many people on the road, but I still move to the right-hand lane whenever I can.

    So you are insisting that regardless of road markings and other traffic she should have moved to the right lane?

    He did not check any box for aggressive driving. As I have stated many times, he did not see the accident. The only box he checked for the other driver was improper lane use. That was information obtained from the other driver.

    Anyway, you were not there. You did not see the traffic. You have never seen the actual street. You have no idea as to whether or not we were even the slowest moving vehicle in that stream. Therefore, you cannot say whether or not "move to the right" was
    required.

    Keep insisting it was, but you are wrong. End of discussion for my part. You can have the last reply.

    Good of you to call out your stalking, you lying Little Shit.

    Come to Vancouver...

    ...and we'll discuss it.

    So, it's true! Who's stalking? I stumbled across that easily discovered item based on your bragging about people wanting to live in Vancouver causing exorbitant housing costs. Interesting that your housing prices have fallen over the last year. But so
    has mine. You are right though, housing is expensive there, even compared to some small towns elsewhere in BC.

    Housing is so expensive there that the grandson of a friend just moved back here after a few years in Vancouver. Based on their income and the arrival of a first child they could simply not afford the rent to upgrade to a small 2 bedroom apartment
    similar to your tiny condo, but slightly larger. Plus, the cost of Vancouver childcare. Then again, a niece just moved back to the Midwest from LA for exactly the same reason.

    How about email discussion? We are planning a September trip to western Canada, including Vancouver. I value my life, what's left of it. I will not be looking you up, or even giving out any details on the trip if it happens. You are one sick, potentially
    violent, puppy.

    Be assured I'll never share. You can, I will not.

    How many lies have you told about me by making

    I was also talking about outside the roundabout! What
    proof do you have that we were slower than prevailing
    traffic?
    The fact that in your initial post you described a car
    coming up from behind you and getting to slightly ahead
    of you at the time of the accident.

    And the law doesn't say "slower than prevailing
    traffic", Little Shit.
    Nothing to say, Little Shit?

    Can't figure out that if someone behind you is going faster
    than you, then you are slower.

    Just another carefully crafted lie by you.
    What proof do you have that we were holding up
    traffic behind us.
    You don't have to hold up "traffic" to be in violation
    of the law.
    Therefore what proof do you have that we were
    obligated to move to the right lane you lying little
    shit?
    The law I showed you, complete with an Indiana
    lawyer's interpretation of it.

    The officer did not state that the other driver was
    not driving aggressively.
    Yes. He did. He actually answered NO on the accident
    report, you Lying Little Shit.

    '2. It has a specific box to check for "Was this crash
    a result of aggressive driving", and the officer
    answered a flat "NO".'

    He was REQUIRED to answer that question.
    What a pussy you are, Little Shit.
    He did not state that she was either. There was no
    "requirement". He did not see the behavior, he could
    not say either way, you lying little shit.
    He also didn't say she was speeding...

    ...but you used that accident as an example of speeding
    AND aggressive driving, you Lying Little Shit:

    'let me show you what reckless and aggressive drivers
    like you can do'

    Remember? No?

    I'll not argue because none of that matters.
    And yet here you are... ...arguing.
    The other driver entered the circle with the intention of
    turning left from the right lane.
    Something I never denied, Little Shit.
    My wife is not a mind reader. She had no reason to think
    that the other driver was not going to exit with us when
    we turned right in our lane to go straight.
    Something utterly irrelevant to her not driving in the
    right lane before she ever got to the roundabout.
    The other driver should have turned with us, not rammed
    into our right front fender.
    Something I never disputed, Little Shit.

    Obfuscation and deflection do not win, loser. You were not
    there, and do not know if a lane shift was advisable or even
    possible.
    I know that the officer explicitly said that aggressive driving
    was not a factor in this accident that you were trying to claim
    was an example of what aggressive driving does, you Lying
    Little Shit.

    The fact of the matter is that this was STUPID driving.

    Mostly stupid on the part of the the driver who hit you.
    Definitely.

    But also stupid in that the accident would never have happened
    if your wife had been in the right lane.

    I do drive faster than many people on the road, but I still
    move to the right-hand lane whenever I can.

    Reply # 2 - The officer did not say anything about the other
    driver's aggressive driving or lack thereof.
    You are lying.

    The form required him to answer and he answered "No".

    But a liar is who you are.

    He did not check any box for aggressive driving. As I have stated
    many times, he did not see the accident. The only box he checked for
    the other driver was improper lane use. That was information obtained
    from the other driver.

    It's not actually a check box...

    ...but he did answer the question:

    "Was this crash the result of aggressive driving?"

    And the typed answer was: "NO".

    First page of the report, right hand column, last item above the box for
    the first "Owner's Name and Address"...

    ...you little shit.


    Anyway, you were not there. You did not see the traffic. You have
    never seen the actual street. You have no idea as to whether or not
    we were even the slowest moving vehicle in that stream. Therefore,
    you cannot say whether or not "move to the right" was required.

    You didn't NEED to be slowEST.

    You were clearly slowerER than the other car in this accident.


    Keep insisting it was, but you are wrong. End of discussion for my
    part. You can have the last reply.

    Ironic.

    By the way, I notice that you have not replied to my latest

    Good of you to call out your stalking, you lying Little Shit.

    Come to Vancouver...

    ...and we'll discuss it.

    So, it's true! Who's stalking? I stumbled across that easily
    discovered item based on your bragging about people wanting to live
    in Vancouver causing exorbitant housing costs. Interesting that your housing prices have fallen over the last year. But so has mine. You
    are right though, housing is expensive there, even compared to some
    small towns elsewhere in BC.

    Housing is so expensive there that the grandson of a friend just
    moved back here after a few years in Vancouver. Based on their income
    and the arrival of a first child they could simply not afford the
    rent to upgrade to a small 2 bedroom apartment similar to your tiny
    condo, but slightly larger. Plus, the cost of Vancouver childcare.
    Then again, a niece just moved back to the Midwest from LA for
    exactly the same reason.

    How about email discussion? We are planning a September trip to
    western Canada, including Vancouver. I value my life, what's left of
    it. I will not be looking you up, or even giving out any details on
    the trip if it happens. You are one sick, potentially violent,
    puppy.

    Be assured I'll never share. You can, I will not.
    Interesting you infer violence from a simple offer to discuss something.

    It says a lot more about you than it does about me, little shit.

    Interesting that:

    You took someting to a social media platform when a private email would have worked. Apparently denigration trumps privacy. Noted.

    You want to confront me in person, not via email. Hmmmmm.

    Here is a link to the accident report, driver info redacted.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z9uIMx4He5cRWXodQfj4Q0BEhyh1zMQc/view?usp=share_link

    Not true in highly dynamic morning traffic. Those drivers came up so quick that moving to the right might have caused an accident. And, before that drivers in front of us had slowed to make right turns at the first roundabout.

    This is not a straight 4 lane city street. It was 2 closely spaced roundabouts with limited time to make any lane decisions. She did what she thought was safest, not knowing that a driver was in the wrong lane for a left turn.

    Anyway, it is accepted practice here for drivers to get in a 4 lane (very common) roundabout's left lane and stay there when going straight on. What she did is normal behavior. I have made several videos showing this. Here is one:

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/19K_M0HsroJltI7j6eydDARijzaXgvvyK/view?usp=share_link

    Complain all you want, what she did is not at all unusual.

    In local parlance, that would be because of a "left lane sitter",

    Not true in highly dynamic morning traffic. Those drivers came up so
    quick that moving to the right might have caused an accident. And,
    before that drivers in front of us had slowed to make right turns at
    the first roundabout.

    This is not a straight 4 lane city street. It was 2 closely spaced roundabouts with limited time to make any lane decisions. She did
    what she thought was safest, not knowing that a driver was in the
    wrong lane for a left turn.

    Anyway, it is accepted practice here for drivers to get in a 4 lane
    (very common) roundabout's left lane and stay there when going
    straight on. What she did is normal behavior. I have made several
    videos showing this. Here is one:

    Complain all you want, what she did is not at all unusual.

    Couple of points, Little Shit.

    1. "Not at all unusual" does mean it was legal, and if she'd been where
    she was supposed to be this accident would never have happened. You
    can't turn left into someone who is on your right.

    2. No one has ever argued what lane she should have been in ONCE SHE
    REACHED THE ROUNDABOUT. She was in the wrong lane on the road PRECEDING
    the roundabout.

    3. She should have been in the right lane from the moment the road
    gained a second lane before the first of the two roundabouts.

    No, no and no. She could not have been in the right lane when the street gained a second lane. At that point the second lane is marked "right turn only" onto a side street. Also, how do you know that we were the slowest vehicle once past that right turn
    lane? You don't, and I don't remember either. But with the first roundabout coming up quickly it's very possible that vehicles turning right there were slowing to make the turn. Also, in this community, as repeatedly shown in videos, use either lane to
    go straight when those lanes are so designated.

    Alan, you are lying yet again. Your lack of first-hand knowledge of the Carmel roundabout system is no excuse.

    From Google Earth, 2016 (accident was 2017), 106th and Springmill. Note the right turn lane where the street widens to 2 lanes eastbound. Yes, this is true, there is right turn only lane there. She could not move to the right the moment the street
    widened.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TqCI36QWDyQwlzFoDvLu7yCYjMEzCrMd/view?usp=share_link

    Also note the road signage indicating that either lane is for straight through traffic. On a busy day the car in front you as the road widens can shift to the right for a right turn and start to slow. Yes, traffic was heavy and slowing for a right turn
    at Springmill.

    From Google Earth, 2016 (accident was 2017), 106th and Illinois, the accident site. Note the right turn only lane where the street exits the Springmill roundabout. Also note the white car pulling out of the side street heading east and the very limited
    distance between Springmill and Illinois. Also note the white car in the left lane exiting the Illinois roundabout in very light traffic, a common sight here. Also note the road signage for Illinois indicating that either lane is for straight through
    traffic. In heavy traffic there is no way to safely move to the right lane here. Past this intersection, we were already in the left turn lane for U.S. 31, the next intersection, for our turn northeast.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1azjxqNFR3MdokeKGADEOEG_PURcRqigu/view?usp=share_link

    After the accident investigation we took the left lane, turned north, and still got to Riverview Hospital in time for my hernia repair. I also note this was shortly after I saw the surgeon and was diagnosed. Need to see my medical records too?

    Now, Liarboy, keep insisting that "She should have been in the right lane from the moment the road gained a second lane before the first of the two roundabouts."

    I cannot prove that the other driver was going faster than us or being aggressive, but she was.

    You stated she needed to move to the right AS SOON AS the street transitioned to 4 lanes from 2. By your definition you lied.

    As for moving to the right, what if all drivers tried that? In heavy traffic like that morning it would leave the left lane empty and create traffic congestion in the right lane. No, Alan, it's not practical or necessary. The left lane is available for
    straight on and that's what we did. The right lane is for right turns and straight on. Clearly marked that way in Google Earth. The other driver did not obey the lane markings, we did.

    The fact is, as shown to you in many minutes of video, local traffic does not adhere to your insistence that we all stay on the right except to pass on city streets. I doubt that Vancouver does either. I'll likely be driving on your streets come
    September and will be interested in observing local driving customs. Based on what we saw last year in Qubec and Ontario I expect to observe exactly what we see here in Carmel

    Sorry, but you do not determine those local driving customs, here or in Canada.

    Alan, you are lying yet again. Your lack of first-hand knowledge
    of the Carmel roundabout system is no excuse.

    From Google Earth, 2016 (accident was 2017), 106th and
    Springmill. Note the right turn lane where the street widens to 2
    lanes eastbound. Yes, this is true, there is right turn only lane
    there. She could not move to the right the moment the street
    widened.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TqCI36QWDyQwlzFoDvLu7yCYjMEzCrMd/view?usp=share_link


    And after the (very short) right turn only lane, there is 120 yards
    where she could have moved right.

    Also note the road signage indicating that either lane is for
    straight through traffic. On a busy day the car in front you as
    the road widens can shift to the right for a right turn and start
    to slow. Yes, traffic was heavy and slowing for a right turn at
    Springmill.
    A new "detail"!

    From Google Earth, 2016 (accident was 2017), 106th and Illinois,
    the accident site. Note the right turn only lane where the street
    exits the Springmill roundabout. Also note the white car pulling
    out of the side street heading east and the very limited distance
    between Springmill and Illinois. Also note the white car in the
    left lane exiting the Illinois roundabout in very light traffic,
    a common sight here. Also note the road signage for Illinois
    indicating that either lane is for straight through traffic. In
    heavy traffic there is no way to safely move to the right lane
    here. Past this intersection, we were already in the left turn
    lane for U.S. 31, the next intersection, for our turn northeast.
    How can there be "heavy traffic preventing your wife from moving
    right...

    ...when the road had been single lane?

    Where does this magical traffic appear from, Little Shit?

    After the accident investigation we took the left lane, turned
    north, and still got to Riverview Hospital in time for my hernia
    repair. I also note this was shortly after I saw the surgeon and
    was diagnosed. Need to see my medical records too?

    Now, Liarboy, keep insisting that "She should have been in the
    right lane from the moment the road gained a second lane before
    the first of the two roundabouts."
    She should have.

    After the (very short) right turn only lane for exiting onto
    Temple Drive, there was 120 yards of two lane road with a dotted
    line between them.

    After that (very short) right turn lane, all the traffic your wife
    was holding up must have been BEHIND her.

    And your claim was that the other driver was both speeding and
    being aggressive...

    ...and you've proven neither.

    All we know is that she was going faster than your wife.

    I cannot prove that the other driver was going faster than us or
    being aggressive, but she was.

    Except the officer explicitly disagreed about aggression...

    ...and she WAS going faster than you, Little Shit.


    You stated she needed to move to the right AS SOON AS the street
    transitioned to 4 lanes from 2. By your definition you lied.

    I didn't know about the (very short) right turn lane.


    As for moving to the right, what if all drivers tried that? In heavy
    traffic like that morning it would leave the left lane empty and
    create traffic congestion in the right lane. No, Alan, it's not
    practical or necessary. The left lane is available for straight on
    and that's what we did. The right lane is for right turns and
    straight on. Clearly marked that way in Google Earth. The other
    driver did not obey the lane markings, we did.


    So you should leave the right lane empty instead?

    The fact is, as shown to you in many minutes of video, local traffic
    does not adhere to your insistence that we all stay on the right
    except to pass on city streets. I doubt that Vancouver does either.
    I'll likely be driving on your streets come September and will be
    interested in observing local driving customs. Based on what we saw
    last year in Qubec and Ontario I expect to observe exactly what we
    see here in Carmel

    "Others do it wrong, too." is never a defense.


    Sorry, but you do not determine those local driving customs, here or
    in Canada.

    But I knew the law...

    ...and you didn't.

    Not true in highly dynamic morning traffic.
    Those drivers came up so quick that moving to
    the right might have caused an accident. And,
    before that drivers in front of us had slowed
    to make right turns at the first roundabout.

    This is not a straight 4 lane city street. It
    was 2 closely spaced roundabouts with limited
    time to make any lane decisions. She did what
    she thought was safest, not knowing that a
    driver was in the wrong lane for a left
    turn.

    Anyway, it is accepted practice here for
    drivers to get in a 4 lane (very common)
    roundabout's left lane and stay there when
    going straight on. What she did is normal
    behavior. I have made several videos showing
    this. Here is one:

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/19K_M0HsroJltI7j6eydDARijzaXgvvyK/view?usp=share_link











    Complain all you want, what she did is not at all unusual.
    Couple of points, Little Shit.

    1. "Not at all unusual" does mean it was legal,
    and if she'd been where she was supposed to be
    this accident would never have happened. You
    can't turn left into someone who is on your
    right.

    2. No one has ever argued what lane she should
    have been in ONCE SHE REACHED THE ROUNDABOUT.
    She was in the wrong lane on the road PRECEDING
    the roundabout.

    3. She should have been in the right lane from
    the moment the road gained a second lane before
    the first of the two roundabouts.

    And 4:

    Unbelievable: "So you should leave the right lane empty

    Really? No you idiot, you use both lanes per the roundabout
    signage, "stay right except to pass" be damned. Just like on
    any very busy 4 lane city street.
    Except the road just went from one lane each way to two.
    Unless some people move to the right lane, that lane will
    remain empty?

    You're not just a lying little shit, you're not much of a
    thinker.
    Just like on any 4 lane street, or highway, or roundabout, if
    you try a left turn from the right lane, or a right turn from
    the left lane (except in countries where you drive on the
    left, then it's all reversed), you are making an illegal
    turn.
    Which has nothing to do with what should happen in the 120+
    yards before you GET to the roundabout.
    Which is why the other driver's insurance paid our repair
    costs, no questions asked. Which is why the police report
    found no fault in my wife's driving. You found a law and
    attempted to interpret it in a situation where it does not
    apply. You are lying through your teeth, and just want to
    harass.
    I never once claimed the other driver wasn't at fault for the
    accident as you are trying to imply, you lying Little Shit.
    Ignoring your lie.

    What I pointed out was that there was an action your wife
    could have taken...

    Moving into the right lane after the (very short) right-turn
    only lane.

    ...that would have removed the conflict.

    And your initial reason for citing this accident was a "proof"
    of the dangers of speeding and aggressive driving...

    ...yet somehow you don't like it pointed out that not only did
    the police report not mention speeding, it EXPLICITLY STATED
    that "aggressive driving" was not a factor in that accident.
    Ignoring your lie.

    And so you pick and choose what times that officer's silence
    has meaning (when it fails to mention that if your wife had
    moved to the right lane, there wouldn't have been an attempt to
    pass her on the right)...

    ...while simultaneously claiming that other silences don't
    mean anything.

    Alan, first of all we are both well aware of the keep right law.
    You weren't.

    You insisted it didn't apply because you weren't on a highway.

    I literally had to explain Indiana law to you, Little Shit.

    BUT, in this case, on a very busy morning, it was not required.
    The officer looked at the damage, took our statements and wrote
    up the results. Given the traffic we were under no obligation to
    shift right. We had NO way to know that the other driver was not
    intending to exit in the right lane with us.
    Given that the road had just opened up to a second lane, how could
    there BE traffic there, you lying Little Shit.

    Maybe there was traffic in front of us already. Maybe there was no
    need for us to move over into a busier lane than the one we were in.
    How could a lane which had only just come into existence be busy at all, Little Shit?

    And yes, I am well aware of the need to keep right.
    You specifically denied it was the law...

    ...and you certainly didn't teach it to your wife...

    ...and you've done nothing but insist there is no need this entire argument.

    You taken video showing how no one does it and so (by implication) it's
    not something one needs to do.

    The simple fact is that if your wife had been in the right lane, there
    would have been no accident in this case.
    Even more so
    since I learned from my hybrid cars just how much the fuel mileage difference there is between 60 and 70. :)
    And yet another attempt to draw another discussion away from the issue
    at hand.

    You are lying. I never said it was not a law, but rather there are issues with your rigid insistence that it strictly applied.

    If you can prove the following I will admit you were correct:

    1. The other driver was entitled to the right lane for a left turn.
    2. Traffic conditions at the time were such that a shift to the right lane was absolutely required on our part.
    3. We were not entitled in any way to use the left lane to go straight on.
    4. The investigating officer reported any fault on our part.
    5. The investigating officer reported no fault on the other driver’s part.
    6. Lane markings showed no possible use of the left lane for going straight on.

    Which is why the other driver's insurance paid our repair
    costs, no questions asked. Which is why the police report
    found no fault in my wife's driving. You found a law and
    attempted to interpret it in a situation where it does not
    apply. You are lying through your teeth, and just want to
    harass.
    I never once claimed the other driver wasn't at fault for the
    accident as you are trying to imply, you lying Little Shit.
    Ignoring your lie.

    What I pointed out was that there was an action your wife
    could have taken...

    Moving into the right lane after the (very short) right-turn
    only lane.

    ...that would have removed the conflict.

    And your initial reason for citing this accident was a "proof"
    of the dangers of speeding and aggressive driving...

    ...yet somehow you don't like it pointed out that not only did
    the police report not mention speeding, it EXPLICITLY STATED
    that "aggressive driving" was not a factor in that accident.
    Ignoring your lie.

    And so you pick and choose what times that officer's silence
    has meaning (when it fails to mention that if your wife had
    moved to the right lane, there wouldn't have been an attempt to
    pass her on the right)...

    ...while simultaneously claiming that other silences don't
    mean anything.

    Alan, first of all we are both well aware of the keep right law.
    You weren't.

    You insisted it didn't apply because you weren't on a highway.

    I literally had to explain Indiana law to you, Little Shit.

    BUT, in this case, on a very busy morning, it was not required.
    The officer looked at the damage, took our statements and wrote
    up the results. Given the traffic we were under no obligation to
    shift right. We had NO way to know that the other driver was not
    intending to exit in the right lane with us.
    Given that the road had just opened up to a second lane, how could
    there BE traffic there, you lying Little Shit.

    Maybe there was traffic in front of us already. Maybe there was no
    need for us to move over into a busier lane than the one we were in.
    How could a lane which had only just come into existence be busy at all,
    Little Shit?

    And yes, I am well aware of the need to keep right.
    You specifically denied it was the law...

    ...and you certainly didn't teach it to your wife...

    ...and you've done nothing but insist there is no need this entire argument. >>
    You taken video showing how no one does it and so (by implication) it's
    not something one needs to do.

    The simple fact is that if your wife had been in the right lane, there
    would have been no accident in this case.
    Even more so
    since I learned from my hybrid cars just how much the fuel mileage
    difference there is between 60 and 70. :)
    And yet another attempt to draw another discussion away from the issue
    at hand.

    You are lying. I never said it was not a law, but rather there are issues with your rigid insistence that it strictly applied.

    YOU are lying, Little Shit.

    You said it was a law that only applied on highways, and that the road
    you were on was not a highway.


    If you can prove the following I will admit you were correct:

    1. The other driver was entitled to the right lane for a left turn.

    I never said she was entitled to a left turn from the right lane.

    Straw man.

    2. Traffic conditions at the time were such that a shift to the right lane was absolutely required on our part.

    The lane was, by force of it only coming into being right there,
    necessarily empty and there was (as you, yourself, have admitted) a car
    behind you that wanted to go faster than you were going.

    3. We were not entitled in any way to use the left lane to go straight on.

    Straw man.

    4. The investigating officer reported any fault on our part.

    Straw man.

    5. The investigating officer reported no fault on the other driver’s part.

    Straw man.

    6. Lane markings showed no possible use of the left lane for going straight on.

    Straw man.

    You used the incident as an example of speeding and aggressive driving
    and their bad consequences...

    ...only you can't show that either of those happened, and the latter was specifically ruled out by the officer.

    going straight on. What she did is normal
    behavior. I have made several videos showing

    And 4:

    'End of discussion for my part. You can have
    the last reply.'

    No, no and no. ...

    Alan, you are lying yet again. Your lack of
    first-hand knowledge of the Carmel roundabout system
    is no excuse.

    From Google Earth, 2016 (accident was 2017), 106th
    and Springmill. Note the right turn lane where the
    street widens to 2 lanes eastbound. Yes, this is
    true, there is right turn only lane there. She could
    not move to the right the moment the street widened.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TqCI36QWDyQwlzFoDvLu7yCYjMEzCrMd/view?usp=share_link








    And after the (very short) right turn only lane, there is 120 yards >>>>>>>>>> where she could have moved right.

    Also note the road signage indicating that either
    lane is for straight through traffic. On a busy day
    the car in front you as the road widens can shift to
    the right for a right turn and start to slow. Yes,
    traffic was heavy and slowing for a right turn at
    Springmill.
    A new "detail"!

    From Google Earth, 2016 (accident was 2017), 106th
    and Illinois, the accident site. Note the right turn
    only lane where the street exits the Springmill
    roundabout. Also note the white car pulling out of
    the side street heading east and the very limited
    distance between Springmill and Illinois. Also note
    the white car in the left lane exiting the Illinois
    roundabout in very light traffic, a common sight
    here. Also note the road signage for Illinois
    indicating that either lane is for straight through
    traffic. In heavy traffic there is no way to safely
    move to the right lane here. Past this intersection,
    we were already in the left turn lane for U.S. 31,
    the next intersection, for our turn northeast.
    How can there be "heavy traffic preventing your wife
    from moving right...

    ...when the road had been single lane?

    Where does this magical traffic appear from, Little
    Shit?

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1azjxqNFR3MdokeKGADEOEG_PURcRqigu/view?usp=share_link









    After the accident investigation we took the left lane, turned >>>>>>>>>>> north, and still got to Riverview Hospital in time
    for my hernia repair. I also note this was shortly
    after I saw the surgeon and was diagnosed. Need to
    see my medical records too?

    Now, Liarboy, keep insisting that "She should have
    been in the right lane from the moment the road
    gained a second lane before the first of the two
    roundabouts."
    She should have.

    After the (very short) right turn only lane for
    exiting onto Temple Drive, there was 120 yards of two
    lane road with a dotted line between them.

    After that (very short) right turn lane, all the
    traffic your wife was holding up must have been BEHIND
    her.

    And your claim was that the other driver was both
    speeding and being aggressive...

    ...and you've proven neither.

    All we know is that she was going faster than your
    wife.

    I cannot prove that the other driver was going faster
    than us or being aggressive, but she was.
    Except the officer explicitly disagreed about
    aggression...

    ...and she WAS going faster than you, Little Shit.

    You stated she needed to move to the right AS SOON AS
    the street transitioned to 4 lanes from 2. By your
    definition you lied.
    I didn't know about the (very short) right turn lane.

    As for moving to the right, what if all drivers tried
    that? In heavy traffic like that morning it would leave
    the left lane empty and create traffic congestion in the
    right lane. No, Alan, it's not practical or necessary.
    The left lane is available for straight on and that's
    what we did. The right lane is for right turns and
    straight on. Clearly marked that way in Google Earth. The >>>>>>>>> other driver did not obey the lane markings, we did.

    So you should leave the right lane empty instead?
    The fact is, as shown to you in many minutes of video,
    local traffic does not adhere to your insistence that we
    all stay on the right except to pass on city streets. I
    doubt that Vancouver does either. I'll likely be driving
    on your streets come September and will be interested in
    observing local driving customs. Based on what we saw
    last year in Qubec and Ontario I expect to observe
    exactly what we see here in Carmel
    "Others do it wrong, too." is never a defense.

    Sorry, but you do not determine those local driving
    customs, here or in Canada.
    But I knew the law...

    ...and you didn't.

    Unbelievable: "So you should leave the right lane empty
    instead?"

    Really? No you idiot, you use both lanes per the roundabout
    signage, "stay right except to pass" be damned. Just like on
    any very busy 4 lane city street.
    Except the road just went from one lane each way to two.
    Unless some people move to the right lane, that lane will
    remain empty?

    You're not just a lying little shit, you're not much of a
    thinker.
    Just like on any 4 lane street, or highway, or roundabout, if >>>>>>> you try a left turn from the right lane, or a right turn from >>>>>>> the left lane (except in countries where you drive on the
    left, then it's all reversed), you are making an illegal
    turn.
    Which has nothing to do with what should happen in the 120+
    yards before you GET to the roundabout.
    Which is why the other driver's insurance paid our repair
    costs, no questions asked. Which is why the police report
    found no fault in my wife's driving. You found a law and

    This is not a straight 4 lane city street. It
    was 2 closely spaced roundabouts with limited

    traffic. In heavy traffic there is no way to safely
    move to the right lane here. Past this intersection,
    we were already in the left turn lane for U.S. 31,
    the next intersection, for our turn northeast.
    How can there be "heavy traffic preventing your wife
    from moving right...

    ...when the road had been single lane?

    Where does this magical traffic appear from, Little
    Shit?

    After the accident investigation we took the left lane, turned
    north, and still got to Riverview Hospital in time
    for my hernia repair. I also note this was shortly
    after I saw the surgeon and was diagnosed. Need to
    see my medical records too?

    Now, Liarboy, keep insisting that "She should have
    been in the right lane from the moment the road
    gained a second lane before the first of the two
    roundabouts."
    She should have.

    After the (very short) right turn only lane for
    exiting onto Temple Drive, there was 120 yards of two
    lane road with a dotted line between them.

    After that (very short) right turn lane, all the
    traffic your wife was holding up must have been BEHIND
    her.

    And your claim was that the other driver was both
    speeding and being aggressive...

    ...and you've proven neither.

    All we know is that she was going faster than your
    wife.

    I cannot prove that the other driver was going faster
    than us or being aggressive, but she was.
    Except the officer explicitly disagreed about
    aggression...

    ...and she WAS going faster than you, Little Shit.

    You stated she needed to move to the right AS SOON AS
    the street transitioned to 4 lanes from 2. By your
    definition you lied.
    I didn't know about the (very short) right turn lane.

    As for moving to the right, what if all drivers tried
    that? In heavy traffic like that morning it would leave
    the left lane empty and create traffic congestion in the
    right lane. No, Alan, it's not practical or necessary.
    The left lane is available for straight on and that's
    what we did. The right lane is for right turns and
    straight on. Clearly marked that way in Google Earth. The
    other driver did not obey the lane markings, we did.

    So you should leave the right lane empty instead?
    The fact is, as shown to you in many minutes of video,
    local traffic does not adhere to your insistence that we
    all stay on the right except to pass on city streets. I
    doubt that Vancouver does either. I'll likely be driving
    on your streets come September and will be interested in
    observing local driving customs. Based on what we saw
    last year in Qubec and Ontario I expect to observe
    exactly what we see here in Carmel
    "Others do it wrong, too." is never a defense.

    Sorry, but you do not determine those local driving
    customs, here or in Canada.
    But I knew the law...

    ...and you didn't.

    Unbelievable: "So you should leave the right lane empty
    instead?"

    Really? No you idiot, you use both lanes per the roundabout
    signage, "stay right except to pass" be damned. Just like on
    any very busy 4 lane city street.
    Except the road just went from one lane each way to two.
    Unless some people move to the right lane, that lane will
    remain empty?

    You're not just a lying little shit, you're not much of a
    thinker.
    Just like on any 4 lane street, or highway, or roundabout, if
    you try a left turn from the right lane, or a right turn from
    the left lane (except in countries where you drive on the
    left, then it's all reversed), you are making an illegal
    turn.
    Which has nothing to do with what should happen in the 120+
    yards before you GET to the roundabout.
    Which is why the other driver's insurance paid our repair
    costs, no questions asked. Which is why the police report
    found no fault in my wife's driving. You found a law and
    attempted to interpret it in a situation where it does not
    apply. You are lying through your teeth, and just want to
    harass.
    I never once claimed the other driver wasn't at fault for the
    accident as you are trying to imply, you lying Little Shit.
    Ignoring your lie.

    What I pointed out was that there was an action your wife
    could have taken...

    Moving into the right lane after the (very short) right-turn
    only lane.

    ...that would have removed the conflict.

    And your initial reason for citing this accident was a "proof"
    of the dangers of speeding and aggressive driving...

    ...yet somehow you don't like it pointed out that not only did
    the police report not mention speeding, it EXPLICITLY STATED
    that "aggressive driving" was not a factor in that accident.
    Ignoring your lie.

    And so you pick and choose what times that officer's silence
    has meaning (when it fails to mention that if your wife had
    moved to the right lane, there wouldn't have been an attempt to
    pass her on the right)...

    ...while simultaneously claiming that other silences don't
    mean anything.

    Alan, first of all we are both well aware of the keep right law.
    You weren't.

    You insisted it didn't apply because you weren't on a highway.

    I literally had to explain Indiana law to you, Little Shit.

    BUT, in this case, on a very busy morning, it was not required.
    The officer looked at the damage, took our statements and wrote
    up the results. Given the traffic we were under no obligation to
    shift right. We had NO way to know that the other driver was not
    intending to exit in the right lane with us.
    Given that the road had just opened up to a second lane, how could
    there BE traffic there, you lying Little Shit.

    Maybe there was traffic in front of us already. Maybe there was no
    need for us to move over into a busier lane than the one we were in.
    How could a lane which had only just come into existence be busy
    at all,
    Little Shit?

    And yes, I am well aware of the need to keep right.
    You specifically denied it was the law...

    ...and you certainly didn't teach it to your wife...

    ...and you've done nothing but insist there is no need this entire argument.

    You taken video showing how no one does it and so (by implication)
    it's
    not something one needs to do.

    The simple fact is that if your wife had been in the right lane, there
    would have been no accident in this case.
    Even more so
    since I learned from my hybrid cars just how much the fuel mileage
    difference there is between 60 and 70. :)
    And yet another attempt to draw another discussion away from the issue
    at hand.

    You are lying. I never said it was not a law, but rather there are
    issues with your rigid insistence that it strictly applied.
    YOU are lying, Little Shit.

    You said it was a law that only applied on highways, and that the road
    you were on was not a highway.

    If you can prove the following I will admit you were correct:

    1. The other driver was entitled to the right lane for a left turn.
    I never said she was entitled to a left turn from the right lane.

    Straw man.
    2. Traffic conditions at the time were such that a shift to the
    right lane was absolutely required on our part.
    The lane was, by force of it only coming into being right there,
    necessarily empty and there was (as you, yourself, have admitted) a car
    behind you that wanted to go faster than you were going.
    3. We were not entitled in any way to use the left lane to go
    straight on.
    Straw man.
    4. The investigating officer reported any fault on our part.
    Straw man.
    5. The investigating officer reported no fault on the other
    driver’s part.
    Straw man.
    6. Lane markings showed no possible use of the left lane for going straight on.
    Straw man.

    You used the incident as an example of speeding and aggressive driving
    and their bad consequences...

    ...only you can't show that either of those happened, and the latter was
    specifically ruled out by the officer.

    Please point out where I said a car behind us was wanting to pass. I
    want the exact quote and source.
    That's what brought this whole thing up, Little Shit.

    I'm going to annotate.

    1. "let me show you what reckless and aggressive drivers like you can do"

    The police report specifically states that your accident was not the
    result of aggressive driving. It doesn't leave it an unanswered
    question. It is answered definitively "NO". Do you agree that is true?


    2. "The driver of vehicle 1 saw what appeared to her to be a nice gap in
    right lane traffic that she could use to overtake vehicle 1,"

    A gap she wouldn't have need to go for if your wife had moved over to
    the right lane. Do you agree that is true?

    And since the other driver could slide up alongside your car, it is
    clear that moving over to the right lane would have been possible. Do
    you agree that is true?



    3. "Going at an excessive rate of speed for the conditions"

    Is that your claim or is it from the accident report? Since I have a
    copy of the report, it would be best if you told the truth for once.


    4. "I know she was speeding because I was on the passenger side and saw
    her coming up on us out of my mirror. It happened so fast that I had no
    chance to warn my wife. "

    Since you were looking at her coming up in the passenger side mirror,
    you couldn't have seen what speed your wife was driving and therefore
    don't know whether the other car was speeding or not.

    Oh, and if you could see her in the car's passenger mirror:

    1. The mirror was improperly aimed for the driver.

    2. There couldn't have been this magical other car that you only brought
    up much later in the discussion.


    5. "Needless to say, vehicle 1 was at fault."

    Yes, and I have never claimed otherwise. Do you agree that is true.

    What I have stated, and what remains true is that IF your wife had moved
    into the right lane when the right lane became available (more than
    yards before the roundabout), then the other car would have stayed in
    the left lane, and there would have been no conflict to make an accident possible at the roundabout. Do you agree that is true?

    You have consistently lied by making the claim that I was suggesting the
    lane change take place IN the roundabout. Do you agree that is true?

    Also note that you make no mention of a third vehicle blocking your view
    at this time. Do you agree that is true?

    And despite your claims about being unable to remember this mystery car
    until much later, the accident took place just two weeks before you made
    your first post about it. Do you agree that is true?
