Exiting Roundabouts (example: Wairere Dr, Gordonton Rd, Pardoa Blvd)

Rajan from Chartwell

Hi All,

I’ve experienced this many times and today it was a close encounter, so thought of posting it. People often change lanes when just exiting the roundabout, which could be very dangerous. As I was standing on the Gordonton Rd(left lane) waiting to turn left towards Pardoa Blvd, I saw a car on the inner lane of the roundabout giving left indicator to turn/exit towards the Pardoa Blvd. As there are two lanes exiting the roundabout and no one was on the outer lane, I decided to take left. To my surprise that guy changed his lane at that moment and came right in front of me. I had to apply brakes to avoid the accident. On top of that he honked at me. I hope he understands his mistake.

I believe we not only need to know the rules but to understand people’s ignorance about the rules too...

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.

A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
