English term or phrase: to the services
Opis kolizji ciężarówki z samochodem osobowym. Rzecz dzieje się w UK, a więc ruch lewostronny. Zeznaje kierowca ciężarówki.

‘I saw the car come around the roundabout.
It was in the left hand lane to the services whilst I was in the middle lane to go straight on.
I heard a clonk on the nearside.
It all happened very quickly.
I got out and the driver asked me what had happened.
I explained she had driven into me and she disputed it.
I explained that it didn’t really matter because the vehicle’s cameras would have recorded the entire event.
I don’t think she believed me.’

Polish translation:(linia) prowadząca do MOP
Explanation:
About 1 mile in advance of a service area, a sign may inform drivers of the availability of services ahead, including the names of the operators. It will normally show the next two services, and include services on other motorways if the junctions with those motorways are reached before the second service area. Where the first services are located at a junction, this sign is likely to be used about 2 miles in advance; the word "Services" may be added to the junction direction signs as an exit destination - http://www.ukmotorists.com/motorway_signs.asp

Samochód osobowy jechał lewym pasem na rondzie, prawdopodobnie przeznaczonym jedynie dla tych zjeżdżających na stację; ciężarówka była na pasie środkowym (jechała dalej prosto). Kierująca samochodem zapewne NIE zjechała jak powinna była tylko kontynuowała dalej na rondzie i zahaczyła o naszą ciężarówkę.
