ACTUALLY Mr Red.... I always filter for up to the back of the first car for the same reasons you stated, in my eyes the front driver is more interested in pulling away and less in me so :nana :b love you really.
But this morning was rush hour, busy 2 lane roundabout and the dick in the white van who it turned out when I got to the front had almost parked in the car in fronts boot so that didn't leave me a gap to pull in. I had a car to my right too who also wanted to make a quick get away and cars on the roundabout that had just passed from the right. It was pretty congested and because I have no idea which way any of the cagers are going to go (remember it's rush hour and they don't care about lane dicipline or signals) I don't like to sprint off too quick only to have a car turn across me, but turns out chap in white van wasn't going to let me filter in and it was a Fazer sandwich down the middle of a tightish roundabout. Those seconds he saved squeezing me out must have been very precious to him.

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!
