Is this the ultimate peril?

A truckie, talking on the cellphone - entering a roundabout - who looks LEFT, FFS but not RIGHT (where I was, about five metres away from him) before proceeding into the roundabout in a state of total oblivion...

Fortunately the spidie sense had already warned me that he looked like a total dork approaching and I managed to stop - in the middle of the roundabout - with no drama. Gave me a chance to utilize the new Stebel warning device once more - and he DID hear that....

Bloody cell phones should be outlawed...

I would have phoned up his company but did not see the branding on the truck...too much traffic to do anything dramatic...

The very reason I am always cautious going into roundabouts with trucks waiting to enter. There's one here which is on the expressway that a lot of trucks use coming through from Taupo to Hastings. Always a very busy place but I find it notorious for trucks just entering willy nilly. I realise sometimes trucks need to enter otherwise they would be stuck there all day but when they follow another big truck in

Well, the buggers have plenty of time to ban smacking and patches, but using cell phone pffft, who cares. Bastards.

Is the intersection (roundabout) big enough to have CCTV? Or do I watch way too much pomy TV.
