The Avenue

I've just had a near miss at the Avenue/Offham Road junction. I was turning right out of the Avenue when a car came from the Landport direction and didn't stop at the roundabout. Luckily I was half expecting it and stopped on the roundabout and then watched as this grey haired old bloke mouthed abuse at me as he went on his way. Has anybody else had a near miss here yet?

Funnily enough exactly the same thing happened to me yesterday; bloke came barrelling down Offham Road. Give way to the right doesn't apply there?

It's a big accident waiting to happen. Not enough signs to warn about the new round layout and so many people who have been driving down there for years, their minds on other things, forgetting they now have to give way at the roundabout. Just hope everyone gets used to the idea pretty quick!

When i moved to Lewes it cracked me up how people here cannot work out how to use roundabouts. They either drive over the middle or sit there for ages not knowing when to go. I used to get really wound up but now i do the same (drive straight over the middle not wait). it's the only place I know like it. oh well.
