The only thing that the vivid description of the gesture brings to mind - is the "one of them" jokes that Morecambe and Wise had - i.e. "what's one of them ?" reply "one of them - dead" it was pretty visual though and difficult to convey here.

Did the road signs indicate that it was acceptable to go round the RB on the left like that?
There are a few weird ones like that, so it does make a difference.
If yes, then I can understand (though not condone) a certain amount of animosity on the part of the other driver.
If no, then I'd have been tempted to veerrryy sllloooowwwlllyyy get out of the blighter's way, making life as hard as possible for him, and ready the index finger (or better, a blow-kiss) in retaliation. It's the only thing these neanderthals understand (making sure I'm not holding an innocent party behind me up mind you).

ooh yes! I've advocated that before. Put on a big smile, give a really sweet wave and they go ballistic. Probably die of a heart attack induced by high blood pressure just down the road. Just make sure they're not bigger than you / you can drive off.

Not in my case, Jase, there were two other dual carriageway junctions before the one we took and it was 3/4 way round the circle (if you see what I mean!)...
And I did the slow exit as well!
Poor lane discipline on roundabouts seems endemic these days, though, even though the council try to help them with decent road markings.... there's a bad one near us from the A491 meets the M5 at Lydiate Ash, you start of on the right and have to gradually move left as you go round past two other exists to end up in the correct lane to go down the M5 - the road markings are clear enough, but none else seems to bother with them and you end up in the wrong lane!
