What did I do wrong here?

If you're talking about "roundabouts," then the problem is no one out here in the wild-wild-Inland Northwest knows what the hell to do at one. And when they have a two-lane roundabout, drivers' heads explode.

For a while in my part of the world, driving your big, jacked-up pickup through the middle of the roundabout was quite the trend. You'd see several sets of tire tracks through the freshly-planted sod and landscaping.

They've since wisened up and put rocks and concrete sculptures in the middle.

(and yes, as you approach a roundabout, you are supposed to yield to vehicles already using it)

 

Speed up, move over and keep up with traffic. Simple.

 

This should scare you @SpeedTchr

 

I'd have to see the situation, but yielding to a vehicle is not the same as not entering a traffic circle when any other vehicle is in the traffic circle.
If a vehicle enters the traffic circle 180 degrees away, you have ample time and clearance to enter the circle as well, maintaining the flow of traffic into, within and out of the traffic circle.
Your potential entry into the traffic circle does not impede the progress of the vehicle that entered the traffic circle before, so you do not have to yield.

There are multiple factors and inputs that go into each and every driving decision.

Again, I posit that if you are constantly honked at in multiple and varied driving scenarios, and you don't understand why other drivers are honking, then you should really consider that other drivers are not the problem.
I occasionally get honked at, we all do, and 99.9999% of the time I know why the other driver honked.

 

Let’s all pitch in and buy sp a dash cam and have him post videos say, once a week. Then we can review them.

Could be a good game show: “Asshole, Not An Asshole”.

 

and I shouldn't be surprised when somebody wants to kill me or back their car into me at speed.

 

And if his car occasionally blows up, we’d have the special “Flaming Asshole” edition.

 

@Smallpotatoes going for his Driving Permit.

 

How the fuck does a thread asking why someone got honked at get to 10 pages?

 

I can't speak to that.
I do a lot of driving, and I am often angry and frustrated by other drivers. I live in a largely rural part of a large and populous state. The region I cover for work is largely rural compared to other parts of the state.
And these hayseeds are absolutely terrible drivers that stand out in a state known for bad drivers.
However, my anger and frustration do not and have never crossed the line into any desire to kill, back into, hit or in any way harm someone or damage their property.

If your consternati0n is genuine, maybe you should consider driving lessons.

 

After reading this thread? No.

 

Just recognize that not everyone driving is in control of their temper or even completely rational sometimes. JR and I were driving on a highway early on a Saturday morning, doing 65 miles/hr in the right hand land with cars in the middle and left lanes going slightly faster and passing us. Some moron thought everyone was going to slow and passed on on the gravel median on our right at a minimum of 80 miles/hr. He isn't typical but those people are out there.
