Bastards got me

[DugieT]

Was riding home, and instead of going around the tiny mini roundabout i went over it, and its so small i'm still on my side of the road, go down the hill and see lights flashing got pulled over and fined £30 on the spot

must admit, i do it all the time if there is no traffic about.
sometimes its the way you talk to the copper, sometimes they are just after numbers for the office.

unlucky dude.

oh! and buses/lorries find it rather difficult to go round a mini roundabout

Wouldn't worry too much.

Was only a £30 fine.

I think the thinking behind them is to make a reasonable effort to go around them. There are some on my road which are impossible to go completely round. It's amusing to watch people who aren't local do it, only to end up on the pavement!

Not worrying about it, was quite novel being first time being pulled over lol just have to make sure i wont do it again, whats crazy about the mini roundabout is i have to practically pootle around it walking speed, made sure it was all clear and done it, and feckers where waiting there to catch anyone doing it.

That's pretty harsh in my oppinion.

When I was riding a supermoto, I NEVER went round mini roundabouts, always over the top. Same with some of the not-quite as-mini roundabouts if I was in the mood.

It's like the whole not supposed to be doing jumps off the top of speed humps on the girlfriends YB100 all over again.

He definetly didn't get none last night cause that's harsh!

I bet he went straight over it to catch up with you

[ThoughtContro...]

[Moonie]

I never go over mini roundabouts anyway, they just feel so slippy it's faster for me to go around.

Sounds a bit harsh really. Only time I go round them properly is on a test lol (pita in a car). I always go over slightly especially in the wet as I'm going straight then not having to lean. When I was on my 50 and carrying as much speed as possible was important I have gone the wrong way around small (but proper) roundabouts in the middle of the night and when I can see there's no cars.

Interesting... Funnily enough i was told when on my CBT that you didn't have to ride around mini roundabouts and you could go straight over them... I always thought the guy who i did it with was a cock... Maybe something todo with being a beamer rider... .

Did you treat the rounadbout as a straight piece of road and just cross it without adjusting your speed or preparing to give-way to the right?If so it might have been that which had more to do with getting a ticket. I often approach mini roundabouts in the city and see peds whizz across them without even looking to their right. Since you have to give way to the right on a roundabout the cop might have thought that a ticket would be just the thing to make you take more care in future for your own sake.
