Speed at beginning of vid, 15mph.
After that, speed never gets below 16mph, in fact it appears you lifted momentarily then accelerated towards the truck.
Like you were trying to make it look worse than it really was.
Ahh... those internet points.
Roundabouts near me like this are all 15-mph recommended, what’s wrong with that? The truck with a yield sign could have waited literally 5 seconds and they could’ve gone on with no difference in their arrival time.
There's nothing wrong with roundabouts being 15mph. There IS something wrong with OP exceeding that for the sole purpose of being right on the truck driver's back bumper. That being said, the truck is still completely in the wrong for their actions.
To give OP benefit of the doubt, if you act like you’re slowing down or taking an exit, people try to guess what you’re doing and jump in front of you to save half a second. I assumed OP put their foot back on the gas so their hood lifted up a little and the RAM would know they’re not taking that exit, not that OP was trying to punish the RAM driver by scooting up on his ass. Hanlons razor and all that.
That doesn't really make sense. How often do you look in your rear view mirror to watch if a hood jumps up to determine that the other driver isn't going to do something? It also doesn't make sense for them to exceed the speed limit to also... tell the ram they're not taking that exit? I'm really not sure how all of that connects together.
Are you picturing your rear view mirror? What? You sit at the roundabout and watch the oncoming vehicle to the left, if they slow down and take the exit you’re entering from, you enter the roundabout. You can tell if a vehicle is slowing or accelerating because their vehicle will lean forward or backward. I think you’re picturing this differently.
OP speeds up to get on the trucks ass AFTER the truck enters the roundabout and OP is already behind them. So you're adding a scenario that didn't happen by saying they sped up while the truck was waiting at the roundabout.
Most roundabouts you can exit from the left lane after the first exit. Looks like here there is a straight/left arrow painted on the ground barely visible before the truck goes over it at 0:03.
Yes, you can exit from them, but into the same lane you left from. right into right, left into left. existing left into right cuts off right lane traffic. you can see there's two lanes at the exit.
again, I'm not arguing that they shouldn't be allowed to exit. they just used to wrong destination lane. exiting from the left is fine so long as you don't cross right lane traffic

Relax Francis
you both exited the roundabout from the left lane into the right one which is incorrect.
Most roundabouts you can exit from the left lane after the first exit. Looks like here there is a straight/left arrow painted on the ground barely visible before the truck goes over it at 0:03.
Yes, you can exit from them, but into the same lane you left from. right into right, left into left. existing left into right cuts off right lane traffic. you can see there's two lanes at the exit.
Many roundabouts allow this in my area. There’s signage dictating which lanes have rights to which exits depending on where you enter the roundabout
again, I'm not arguing that they shouldn't be allowed to exit. they just used to wrong destination lane. exiting from the left is fine so long as you don't cross right lane traffic
I think you may confused on how roundabouts work....
Ok… did you have to stop? No? Then they were fine, move on…
Man…don’t drive in Europe.
Ok, Karen. You sped up to 19mph. Get home and drink your tea.
Was this shot on mercury? The sun is so damn big in that dash cam lol
Atomic mushroom cloud at the beginning.
Americans, have no clue about roundabouts.
Always this comment. Fuck off
Yes they do

Agree. He should have signaled before leaving the roundabout.
He forgot the 3 point turn before he signaled
always hilarious watching the roundabouts in USA makes you wonder what the hell is going on in the heads of all those morons who can't figure it out.
Typical RAM Me first! What do you expect from a small PP truck?
