No crashes as such but I did leave the road this morning....

Canterbury's city walls has one of those horrible 1950's ring-roads - two lanes linked by several roundabouts. The right-turn on the first was okay (well a little hairy ). I left the roundabout and joined the left-hand lane (I wasn't confident of making it in one piece to the right-hand one...). Needing to turn right at the next one I tried moving to the right-hand lane (okay I should probably have stayed in the left ) As I looked to see whether the right-hand lane was clear I was faced with a van in the right -hand lane trying to cut across into the left where I was and little more than two car lengths to the roundabout - not being convinced he'd seen me I decided disgression was the better part of valour and made myself aquainted with the lovely patch of grass between the road and the city wall...
