That isn't as daft a theory as it may sound at first because I've noticed that people up here do seem to let other drivers out of sideroads and things like that. When doing that in southerly regions I've been given some very surprised looks by people and one even wound down the window and said "hey thanks!"

But (yes before anybody tells me about it, I know you shouldn't start a sentence with "but" let alone a paragraph!) doing that on a mini roundabout is more than a bit daft and the people who don't seem to uinderstand who has right of way can cause more accidents. The only time it should become a dilemma is when 4 people all approach the mini roundabout at the same time! Everybody is on the right of somebody else and who gives way to whom then?

In defense of northerners I have been frightened to death on roundabouts in Cambridgeshire where people on inside lanes suddenly dart in front of you to leave at the exit you are just about to leave at from the outside lane. Don't these people know which lane they should be in or at least move across behind the car in the correct lane?
