A collision at a roundabout has divided social media users over who was in the wrong.
Dashcam footage was shared of the collision which occurred at the Henderson Road exit roundabout in Ingleburn, south-west Sydney, in April.
The driver with the dashcam is in the left lane approaching the double-lane roundabout, while there's a red BMW in the right lane.
Both vehicles enter the roundabout and the dashcam driver continues straight after the first exit while the red car tries to veer left into the first exit.
The cars collide as the BMW continues driving before parking on the side.

The footage was shared onto Dash Cam Owners Australia Facebook page and has users confused as to who was in the wrong, with some blaming the dashcam driver.
'The car with the dashcam is at fault. You can exit from either lane on a double lane roundabout if you are going straight through. You can't turn right from the outside lane on a double lane roundabout,' one wrote.
'Dashcam driver completely in the wrong. There is nothing to discuss here. Edit: I missed some details when I first commented. Saw the markings on the road and and signage, and was wrong,' another commented.
Others lashed out and said the red BMW is clearly in the wrong, with the page explaining the markings.
'The road markings are indicative of exits, not direction. A road marking of ⬅️⬆️ means you can take the first or second exit. A road marking of ⬆️➡️ means you take the second or third exit. The red car has tried to take the first exit when they're not permitted to do so,' the page wrote

'LOOK AT THE ARROWS ON THE ROAD...Cam car has the right of way to continue straight..The red car could only go straight or turn right... DERRRR!' another commented.
'I'm loving these comments from people who can't count roundabout exits,' one person wrote.
'To those people saying the dash cam car at fault, please hand your licenses back and first learn to associate road markings with the signs and situations that they correspond to,' another wrote.
Upon arrival to the roundabout, there are markings on each lane indicating which exit each lane is allowed to take.
The BMW was in the right lane and is only allowed to take the second and third exit.
The dash cam vehicle in the left lane is allowed to take the first exit and the second exit.
