The original submission notes: “This incident took place when dark so I can t confirm the exact colour of the car or if the driver was male or female. This large roundabout is located on the A22 dual carriageway where it meets the A27. I approached the roundabout in the left lane (out of two) to take the 3rd exit (12 0’clock) which is straight on. Road signs confirm this by directing traffic into both lanes for this exit so no one should misunderstand the procedure. The Lexus - complete with front fog lamps switched on (*no fog*) – was behind in the second lane & joined the roundabout *after* I did. As I signalled to take the [single carriageway] exit I let the car in front filter in; the Lexus driver decided to try and overtake me & push in between myself and the car in front, almost driving straight into the side my car. Realising that there wasn’t enough room the driver dropped back & flashed his/her lights repeatedly before leaving the high beams on.” Keeping this first-hand wording matters because it preserves how the event was experienced at the time of reporting. As more reports are logged from the same area, small details such as overtaking style, lane movement, junction pressure, or recurring time windows can reveal whether this is an isolated event or part of a broader local trend.

This incident is best read alongside nearby reports to understand whether the behaviour is occasional or recurring. Comparing reports by location and incident type helps surface trends that are more actionable than any single account on its own.
