No wasn't speeding ...so you're saying I should drive into the lorry instead of stopping lol ..I apologise for misinterpreting the high way code , as give way to the right or those already on the roundabout and when changing lanes don't make the other lane brake or change course .. I agree my hand signals are I bit over the top (spur of the moment frustration) and he might have the radio on so miss the language
but at least you haven't called me names in this post so it's progress

I accelerated to let the indicating car in behind as there was nothing behind me ... I just let my emotions get the better of me no one mentioned the apology and chilled bit seconds later .. I just put it up good or bad ...it's not really a big deal and I would hope new riders will look and say fuck you have to be careful ..so it's not all bravado and i never thought I would hit any of them ...if I lived in a rural area and didn't encouter aggressive driving (not just me) every day I may well be chilled all the time ...hope we can all hug and share a brew in the future
you dont have to justify your riding to anyone.

No need to justify anybodies riding, but it is a chance to learn. Anybody who thinks they have nothing to learn in riding is fooling themselves. I always enjoy feedback from people I ride with, the negative more than the positive as I learn from the negative.
So agree there is no need for name calling, but it is useful to give hints and tips where people are putting themselves into danger. I would hate to think that a person was not given the chance to improve and became a fatality due to that.

If you feel like checking it out, my youtube channel has everything I have come across on my daily commute since riding again after my second accident in November last year, I don't get angry so no swearing and gesticulating (aside from hand signals), the video's have been mostly stripped of all audio due to wind noise.
