Spoke to my friend who got hit by a car. She's still in hospital and in for a big recovery but it could have been a lot worse. I'm so relieved. I just don't understand how someone can sail out onto a roundabout and clean up someone right in front of them on the roundabout (who also has right of way). I really like being on public transport more and more.

I'm so glad. There are some terrifying drivers out there.

I almost had two accidents on round abouts the other day in my large bull bar'd van. Both times people cutting in front of me turning right. I'm one of the fewer people who use their indicators for direction and exit in the roundabout too. In retrospect, I'm thinking about selling it, so with the dash cam maybe I should just go for the write off.
