I was cycling to work yesterday along a section of the A4174 ring road
(dual carriage-way), approaching a roundabout where I am going straight
ahead, two lanes filter off to the left for traffic heading onto the M32.

I was cycling in the middle of the left lane, before the left turn lanes
appeared, doing approx 25-30mph.

I heard a horn behind me. I glanced behind to see the driver gesticulating
wildly for me to pull over to the left and get out of his way.

This seems a bit odd if it's a d/c road as he would have had an extra lane
to overtake in, or am I missing something?
