2:15 : He had the right of way, he merged onto an empty lane , YOU changed lane to his lane AFTER he was already comitted.. in short : YOU caused that your self.

[@TenerifeRider]

I disagree. I was already on the roundabout, came on 3 junctions earlier.

[@tonyrulez69]

​@@TenerifeRiderThat roundabout has 2 lanes, you were in the inside lane, he merge onto the outside lane. As he was already merging onto the outside lane did you only change lanes.

0:55 What you call idiosyncrasy of Spanish law is actually the world standard. Maybe you accommodate to those standards instead of creating you own ideas? And in general, you should relax a bit more and create yourself a bit more of situational awareness.

[@TenerifeRider]

Agreed but as I am from the UK I know the differences between UK & Spanish traffic laws. In the UK you should indicate as you enter a roundabout.
What is the law in your country regarding this?

[@EverydayRoadster]

@@TenerifeRider There is no requirement of indication on entering, just like in the UK and any other European country. An exit has to be indicated. For UK you can check nidirect gov website, appendix for roundabouts, see pictures for 2 and 3. Indication within a roundabout would be given only if you would change lanes within a roundabout.

I detest motorcycles on the roads they seem to think they own them, speeding , fast overtaking with their little tiny number plates etc,

[@TenerifeRider]

And as if by divine intervention the exact thing happened to me today. Video to come.

[@Ducatipete]

First clip, is that car actually on the roundabout a fraction before you are? It must be very close.

[@TenerifeRider]

Probably. You can't see on camera but I zoomed in later and they looked down the road I was on and like most drivers didn't do a 2nd check before entering the roundabout.
I have a 530cc scooter but from the front it just looks like a 125 so it's kind of understandable that people pull out.

[@reynoldslot]

Roads look a lot better condition than ours

[@TenerifeRider]

We run guided tours here and yes, the roads are far better than the UK.

[@GBR4ME]

are you a Brit living over there?

[@TenerifeRider]

I am indeed.
