    I love how the meme assumes everyone trusts everyone else’s driving. Utopian ideals, man.

      You not following the rules because you assume everyone else isn’t following the rules is why no one is following the rules…

        I don’t follow the rules only because I don’t drive at all. Otherwise, yes, you are correct, I don’t follow rules which endanger my life. Just weird that way.

          Well you usually find out the rules when you learn to drive. Roundabouts are spooky at first but once you have the rules down it’s actually one of the easier things.

      That’s not how roundabouts work. They’re really simple:

      1. Look left and enter when clear
      2. Look straight until you exit

      That’s it. This only gets complicated if traffic is backed up, in which case everyone is going slow enough for it to not matter.

        Nice, I don’t know why, but I was picturing the pink car going fast enough to squeal their tires like they used to in the one nearest where I live. We only got roundabouts here a decade or two ago, so they’re still a novelty to most. I don’t drive much, as you can probably tell.

          Yeah, speeds in a roundabout should be very slow, like 15mph/20-25kph. Bigger ones can handle a bit faster traffic, but they’re not designed for high speed, but lack of stopping.

          And I envy you, I wish I didn’t need to drive as much.
