Very true, but you don't need to wait for long on any journey to find someone driving too close behind you. At cruising speed, if you can not see their number plate in your inside rear view mirror, they are too close.
The significance of that observation is that, if you have to slow down or stop, you must take account of the vehicle behind as well as the situation in front.
If the driver behind is using a cell phone or applying makeup, it adds an extra dimension!
Yes agreed it is all about knowing what is around you 360 degrees and the consequences of your actions. The fact a roundabout was chosen throws a lot more variables into the equation.
In my experience the car's you cannot read the numberplate of 9/10 tend to have a BMW badge on them
