"Me Me" calls them (men) Machos, is that more slang or slur maybe ?

Don't think so

Remember Me Me is as British as she is Spanish!

That´s my first lol today! Thank you DD

Back on track.... Behind (To the left of too) a driving school car in Malaga this morning coming into a roundabout. They/It is in the RH lane goes all round in the RH lane, 360 degs.

ps. doesn't surprise me, a driving instructor friend told me that any lane is OK.

A guy I used to work with in Madrid worked part time as a driving instructor. One day we were discussing roundabouts and I asked him why Spanish never indicate at a roundabout. He said it you don't have to, to which I replied: If people used their indicators the other vehicles would know what they're all doing and there'd be less accidents and things would run more efficiently. He told me: What's your hurry? Just wait until the other car's gone.

Insha'Allah...that sorts out 50% and the others have to change their horns every year.

I was riding my push bike the other day when a guy reversed out onto the road and nearly knocked me off the bike. I hit the back of his car with my hand to stop him and he gave me some right verbal abuse. As I have been here less than a year I understood very little of it, but I assumed that he thought he was in the right just to reverse from a parking space onto a main road irrespective of who (or what) was behind him.

That is the correct way to use a roundabout

The British people taking the roundabouts according to British rules are doing it wrong and will infuriate other road users

It is worth reading the Spanish highway code as it is different to the British one

What a gentle breed the Spanish are. So gentle they get offended by a driver telling them where they intend on leaving the roundabout before actually doing so!

It seems you havent read the highway code!

British drivers turning left at a roundabout will use the inside lane and then cut across traffic. In the UK the drivers in the inside lane has right of way, but in Spain he does not.

People on the outside lane always have right of way, so if you go in the inside lane in heavy traffic then you will effectively get stuck unless you agressively push other drivers out of the way

This misunderstanding on the part of British drivers in Spain leads to a lot of the "Spanish are terrible drivers" comments when actual the British people are the ones being terrible drivers

If everyone uses the highway code, there is no need to "cut across" anyone!
The vehicles you might cut across, should be leaving at the exit before. Unless of course, someone has pulled out infront of you, when they should have waited for you to pass.
Back to the study books for you I think?

That is the British (and everywhere else) highway code, not the Spanish version.

The Spanish one is illogical and (frankly) stupid. And although the highway code is quite specific in its illogical and stupid way, other drivers instructional material is not which causes confusion and danger. How about this?



It's from here and quite clearly contradicts what is said in the highway code.

No wonder everyone is confused - including the Spanish who very often take the offside lane and cut up drivers in the nearside lane as they leave the roundabout.

No, you are quoting the British highway code. You live and drive in Spain, so the Spanish highway code is relevant. Forget what you have learnt in Britain

It is amazing the amount of people who do not understand this.

That's clearly wrong as well

My wife learnt to drive in Spain just three years ago. I read the highway code out of interest. Basically the rule is that you must always stick to the outside lane whether you are going left, straight on or right.

You can use the inside lane but only if you have time and space to re-enter the outside lane as you exit. You have no priority

The rule is logical although not very efficient, but it is what it is

You can see why everyone (including it seems many Spanish) are confused.

a) The rule is different from everywhere else
b) It's stupid
c) It's contradicted in much literature

The terminology is difficult enough WRT roundabouts anyway. e.g., what exactly do you mean by 'outside lane' in your post?
