Driving like a white van driver...

Okay... I'll confess driving works van has started to turn me into a bit of a white van driver. In the last week I've forced myself on to roundabouts and relied on the bulk of the van to drop the hint to other drivers that continuing to block me isn't a good idea.
Okay, so I have a tiny excuse in that I'd been trapped at the same junction for 10 minutes because none of the other drivers were obeying the very simple rule of not entering a roundabout when you can see your exit is blocked, thus jamming me and a fire marshal in our junction (they were headed from my right across to the next turning on the left) In the end I edged forward and the fire marshal followed my lead, until we'd forced our way through the stream of traffic. Still had some numpty try and hit us though.
