What more can I do?

Unfortunately not, it's the RAB immediately outside my place of work. All routes lead to this point.

If it's right outside work, would it not be better to walk across the r'about as clearly you are not going to lose much time doing so?

Am I therefore right in assuming the woman that almost knocked you off works with you?

Yeah, I've had the same. Actually the driver got in the right hand turn lane because I was already in the middle of the left and straight on lane at the RAB junction. So I set of to go straight on and the driver (no signalling, I looked) tried to overtake to go immediately left! He obviously thought he was in the right as he just leant on the horn, I could still hear him as I exited.

Why do some drivers believe they have an absolute right to overtake, and to go first, even if that means cutting across from the right in a left-hook manoeuvre ?

No, thankfully! The RAB has an exit for Leeds' only mall like shopping centre and the business park for my office. She was going to the former.

Entry and my intended exit marked with the white arrows, my bike position with the green and the red arrow the driver's path.

And the sign at the entry point dictating lane use:

Good point about walking it though, there does look to be some cyclepaths around the RAB that have fallen into dis-repair but they will probably be a better option than getting squished.

Blimey! It's summer near Leeds by the looks of the trees! I'm moving

Looking at the bird's eye view and considering the fact that you are passing two exits before yours I would be tempted to ignore the sign and enter the roundabout into the righthand lane, moving into the appropriate left lane in good time as I progressed around the roundabout. This approach isn't without risks though, but it helps if you are damn quick off the mark and assertive as you negotiate the roundabout.

Is that White Rose?

Yep thought it was.

I will not be using that route, don't fancy it on a daily basis so going out the back of Millshaw Park Ind estate and over at the lights and up towards Beeston road and into Leeds. I

I keep waiting for it to happen to me on one particular roundabout. I keep seeing cars avoid the queue in the LH by shooting up the right, entering the RAB on the right, then swinging into the 1st left exit. Best thing is there should be no misunderstanding as to my direction - that 1st exit is onto the M18. It'll happen one day.....
