Weaving in Totteridge

I followed this drivers along Totteridge Lane from Hendon Wood Lane to the Orange Tree Public House.

The way he or she was weaving about indicated that driving was only of secondary importance. The erratic braking and speeding up also pointed to distraction, tiredness or being tipsy. The darkness didn't help me see inside the car. I kept my distance and was glad when they did turn off.

Witness to an accident

It is one thing being a witness to an accident and trying to remember all everything that happened. It is another thing when it is all dome on video. The accident occurred on my regular ride home from the office. Waiting at the lights I saw the whole thing as it happened. But who is to blame? At the moment both parties are saying the other one is in the wrong. White car turned across on-coming traffic but was the blue car travelling too quickly and did it jump the lights?

Mind on other things

I noticed the car as it left the driveway. It didn't look right. As I got closer I noticed the car was weaving and the driver was constantly moving. At first I thought he was on the phone but I realised he was just sorting himself out and getting comfortable. Things he should have done before he started off!
He nearly hits a bus and on-coming traffic when overtaking a cyclist.
When he disappeared completely I was astounded. It was only the verge that kept him from going off the road.
He shouldn't have been driving!

Pedestrians crossing

Sending your kids off in advance to check there are no dangers is not the best method for road safety. Luckily I am always wary about islands.
Not sure if the mother was annoyed at me or her. I did grin at the fact they started crossing the next section with no checks of the pedestrian lights.

Not giving way

Unlike my earlier post where the right of way on the roundabout was in doubt.
This time I felt the car was trying to race me. He just continued as if it was the correct thing to do.

Don't do as I do...

You would expect better from a driving instructor but this chap just kept on breaking the rules.
I am doing 30 in a 30 limit and he overtakes me exceeding the limit, on a blind bend. I was on the left of the road and couldn't see round the bend. The driver could see even less.
He hares off at speed until he meets a car driving legally and tail gates him.
In the end it didn't get him any where and he used extra petrol and some wear on his break pads.
I wouldn't recommend Uncle Nick as an instructor.

Who has the right of way?

It is an area that I feel is very unclear.
Large roundabouts don't pose a problem it is the small and mini roundabouts. The highway code states that you should when arriving at a roundabout you should give priority to traffic approaching from your right. How far away from approaching the roundabout should you observe?
In this example I am approaching but is not on the roundabout, the other car is just on the roundabout. So who has the right of way?
I was actually set to allow the car to pass in front of me and I would carry on. The driver was suddenly aware of my presence and stopped. He did wave an apology.
