She was in the wrong lane and drove into me when I had already begun to exit the roundabout.
It was a single lane exit at 12 o'clock we both pulled off the roundabout at the same time, me in the left, correct, lane and her in the right, incorrect, lane.

Was this in Galway, and if so, which roundabout?

The understanding of how to use a roundabout in this country is appalling. Almost every day I see someone completely misuse their indicators on a roundabout. About once a week I see someone indicate left to turn onto a roundabout, the indicate when on the roundabout and then indicate left when they're exiting. It's not unusual to see someone do that when going straight on from the right hand lane either.

It should be a compulsory element of a driving test if a roundabout is available.

That's about once every 5 minutes in Galway!

Not if she came from an exit over 180 degrees to the one taken, and especially if she indicated to take the exit after the previous one.

Make sure you have the gardai on your side on this one ! No loose ends as to how she traveled and indicated....

We both came from the same exit, at the same time(different lanes), which was exactly 180 degrees from the exit we both took

We never called the guards to the scene, can I go down to them and tell them what happened and find out who was in the right/wrong?

If you were going from bohermore to the tuam Rd and she hit you. You were in the right

I'm assuming that you were in the inside lane the whole time

Definitely go and report it anyway !

Her insurers could challenge it and if there's a garde report, it's better to be in your words first.

I went to them earlier and they told me I don't need to file a report unless the insurance companies ask for one

File your report anyways. Make sure there's a written down report of your description of the accident.

To my shame I killed a family dog once, not my fault but nevertheless, I made absolutely sure I made a Garda report so if anything happened I could say, "hey look, I did say so". End of story, It's solely and absolutely to cover your arse.

Almost happened me a couple of weeks ago. Exact same scenario. I blared the horn and the man (in the wrong) got out. I told him he was in the lane to turn right so why did he go straight. He said "I can drive wherever the fcuk I want"

I see just last week the council have now put right turn arrows on the road in the right lane. It pis*ses me off no end when I see people drive right up past everyone on the left and then cut ahead at roundabouts. I'm going to buy an old banger of a jeep and clean these fcukers out of it some day!!

Got up this morning at 6 to watch GOT before anyone else got up. In hindsight I should have made popcorn, amazing stuff.

Same! I get up early at about 8 on a Monday to watch it just so I avoid spoilers.

Girlfriend thinks it's hilarious cause I'm not a morning person at all and this is pretty much the only thing that gets me out of bed early!

I just watch it at 2am on Sunday night on Sky Atlantic. Incredible episode

Couldn't be dealing with this 9am start business. Girlfriend leaves the house about 7:15 so I get about 2 hours in bed by myself. Roll out of bed at 9:15, in work for 10ish.
