Fucking cop nailed me today for the most ridiculous reason possible;
"Letting another driver go ahead at a four way stop (obstruction of traffic)".
In short, I was nice and let someone else go when I had the right of way, and got punished for it.
Must be quota time.
Just get fucking roundabouts already!
Those things are good when they're small, but when you get to the size of the one around the 'arc de triomph' in france, it SUCKS.
The arc de triomph one has no rules I believe...
Roundabouts work a treat in Britain.

Absolutely, if you are in the correct lane.
the inside one?
In the UK I think you have 20 circuits before its illegal (or possibly 8...)
There is a limit though...

The roundabouts with several lanes area always a pain. Especially the arc de triomphe, which has four or something like that, if you get stuck in the middle you are really screwed.
I've never seen a single roundabout in the time I've spent in the US... How common are they over there?

They are just toying with them in my province here in Canada and it's painfull so far. Just like the four way stop people are baffled. Merge here is another simple concept that people can't grasp.
I had a couple of issues with them in UK.
One was the right of way was opposite of France so I was going to enter it thinking they had to yield to me.
The second was like people in my city there was an tendancy toward. "Look out I'm ramming it in there!"

Then they put an enormous "Rick Perry for Governor" sign in front of their house. Since then I give them no mercy. The slightest disturbance, and I call the cops. Plus it's not even good music that they're blaring at all hours of the day and night, but mostly mid-90s pop-rock and country. How old were these kids in the mid-90s that this is what they're listening to? Are they 8th year seniors?
(Rick Perry was Bush's Lt. Governor for many years and is the current governor of Texas. He's so conservative that during the last election, the Republican party actually splintered to the left, and there were two moderate Republicans opposing him in addition to the Democratic candidate. He was re-elected with 30% of the vote, thanks to the likes of my next-door-redneck-hillbilly-neighbors.)
Ah, partisanship. Destroying the country one election at a time.

If you have people that can understand the concepts traffic circles are way better because you don't have to stop. But the four way stop is a little safer for the dummies because everyone stops before lurching into the intersection to vie for dominance.

I think the implementation of roundabouts would probably lead to massive deaths in the first week or two, but then once all the retards died off or learnt you'd be ok. It's win/win.
Also we've got roundabouts all over the place here in Ireland, works a treat... though only a few multi lane ones.

I wish that were the case, there's been one in the capital of our province Edmonton for decades and it's still a cross between high comedy and source of road rage.
If you have to do them for your test and you have them in every town people really don't get confused. I'd say there were far more accidents in the UK at junctions than roundabouts.

There aren't very many. I've seen the greatest concentration of them in residential neighborhoods planned around the turn-of-the-century. They apparently figured considerably into Moderns' urban utopiae (utopias? utopia?).
I drive better when i'm drunk. To our teenage members, i wrote that to start something, and no one jumped on me about it - go figure. Only a complete idiot thinks they drive better drunk. I don't even think that when i'm drunk.

i love venturing into other states and countries...well most...a boston training is like a black belt in driving second only to NYC they are simply professional drivers...we might not make many friends on the road, but our offensive driving courses allow us to drive circles around less aggressively trained drivers
