I knew a girl who was instructed to turn left at a roundabout, so she proceeded to turn left when merging into the roundabout.

Poor girl, fortunately everything was fine (she did fail, but no accidents) but that's a special kind of 'too literal' that loops back around to being dumb.

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

My mom taught me to never trust a turn signal (or lack of one)

My country is full of donkeys driving cars

[–] Deepus@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Damn, how'd you train a donkey to drive?

Who said anything about training?

Car C is really just waiting for the pink car to arrive so that they can slam the gas as soon as it does.

There's one "roundabout" that I know of that doesn't have this sign:

But instead has a few of these in the middle:

You HAVE TO give way to the right while driving on the "roundabout".

Mental.

Thanks for your time.

The hard part is when back to back traffic for 15 miles worth of cars is coming from one direction and everyone else is either too scared to zipper merge or they allow the one direction to have perpetual right of way.

At some point of heavy traffic, the circle right of way must yield for zipper merging, else face my ass aggro merging and beeping at everyone who doesn't.

Ok, now do one where C and A arrive at the same time to an empty roundabout and A still, to this day, thinks they have the right of way. Because why wait a fraction of a second when I can make others wait for a lot longer?

I hate having classes in a classroom with windows pointing to a roundabout because I get to realize how NO ONE seems to do them correctly... (In Spain, for reference)

Depends on the size of the roundabout. For one big enough they could both join simultaneously and maintain a safe distance, that's fine. If not, if you drive on the left the one on the right has priority and vice versa for the rest of the world.

In fact it's only a problem if people arrive simultaneously at all junctions, since now there's no person to the right of everyone.

In this case usually everyone stops (unless one of the cars is a BMW or audi) and then someone will start to move first. After which normal operational rules are restored.

I love in Washington state and honestly have had next to no problems with people in roundabouts. They're pretty common here and people use them as intended. Wherever you are all from, I hope it gets better lol

Circles are awesome, fight me!
