As I get closer, I see that the car is in fact a socking great SUV drived by a middle aged female driver, with L plates aplenty.Approaching the roundabout, I slow down and signal, and she, presumably in response, suddenly slows to a crawl. Taking this to be an indication that she is letting me around the roundabout first, I pedal harder, signal again, and prepare to go round.About a second before I go round she suddenly accelerates and screeches forward, causing me to have to swerve violently around to not crash into her. In response to this she starts screaming at me and calling me and idiot etc.!Let's just say I paid her back with interest!</blockquote>
