Morning Mangs,
F*CK cops. Got pulled over and harrased this morning for honking my horn at a douche that didn't give way to me.
I entered the roundabout right (to be fair I didn't slow down much/at all, but I wasn't speeding and there was no one coming) and then while I am on the roundabout this fool just pulls out in front of me so I get on the horn.
Dunno where the cop car came from but he saw me, followed me for a bit then pulled me over. RBT and licence check then gave me a lecture about how I was in the wrong because the dude was already on the roundabout I needed to give way to him. I was like I SAW him enter the roundabout in front of me when I was already on it, he should have given way to me. Cops were all "Do you know the road rules", "YES I know the road rules: Give way to vehicles already on the roundabout, ie ME". Nup, lecture on road rage etc... Gave up in the end with a sarcastic "OK, I'll beleive you, I'm sorry."
F*ckers, at least they didn't give me a ticket (probably because they knew I actually was in the right).
Obligatory google maps shot:

I entered the roundabout from Dayboro Rd (going to Gympie Rd), el douchebag entered from Anzac Ave (going to Gympie Rd). Apparantly I'm meant to give way? Maybe the f*cking cops should check their road rules...
