Are Cyclists exempt from yield rules on roundabouts

    Twice in the last few weeks, once in Clonmel, once outside Mitchelstown I've seen a large group of cyclists just sail through a roundabout blatantly ignoring yield right of way. Luckily both times the traffic coming from their right stopped. Very dangerous I would say, whats going on? Why such disregard for the rules of the road?

    No, they are not exempt.

    The usual thing with a group is that the group as a whole will yield or the group as a whole will go through. I think the idea is that the group is treated as a single vehicle but this is not enshrined in law and it relies on driver consideration.

    Why such disregard for the rules of the road?

    Did you just answer your own question?
