Swerving to the opposite side when junction turning?

[hyperseven]

I notice this more and more, maybe it's just me and I can't for the life of me think why?

-the turning circles on cars have changed?
-Is some sort of slingshot manoeuvre to gain speed on the exit of swerve ala Star Trek IV?
-Is this now taught in lessons?

rant over

I do similar manoeuvres around medium single lane roundabouts and it's crazy how fast I catch up to the car in front whilst hitting the roundabout the same speed as them and not touching the gas pedal.

Why are you trying to catch up to the next car on a roundabout, are you in a race?

Tight 90 degree corners are rare to come across.

Dont you have junctions where you live

I've eventually found a video with what was intended by the thread.

I refer to it as more advanced because I actually calculated these things in my first few years of driving. I don't just drive to get from A to B like 99% of people out there... I actually practiced to become better than the average driver.

I bow to you, oh driving god. Please impart us with all your driving techniques.
