Bikes are not traffic on roundabouts…

12 Jun, 2020 - 6 years ago - on Norris Road

On Palmer Avenue just outside Arncott coming up to a mini roundabout. It is raining so I deliberately put my light on to be seen. Clearly signal I am going right, second exit (out of shot but after hearing someone in our cycling club was hit on a roundabout the previous day, I make it very obvious). Roundabout is clear so I continue round. I notice a white car coming to my left and not slowing down. Guessing the usual 'I do not exist', I apply my brakes and slow down. Driver does not even slow, yield or even look for traffic on the roundabout. Female driver doesn't even notice I am there less than a metre from her as she drives by. If I had not braked and anticipated this, I would have been on her bonnet or under her car.
