How To NOT Use A Roundabout

TheFreak says...

Interesting. It's also possible that I was misinformed about how the right of way works. Mind you, I'm not talking about stopping in the roundabout to let people enter. I mean that you slow slightly if it's necessary to allow people to enter. You certainly don't speed up to block them, which is what happens in my neighborhood right now.

I also know that no one is going to survive a 3-lane freeway roundabout if people aren't being conscious of the traffic that's entering the roundabout.

It depends on what country you're in. In the UK and I believe most countries you yield to people already on the roundabout.

How To NOT Use A Roundabout

TheFreak says...

Here's the issue I have with roundabouts in America.

Merrka! FUck yeah!

We're full of "me first" individualists. In Sweden I dealt with the giant freeway roundabouts and it works because you yield to people entering the roundabout. Sounds counter intuitive but as long as EVERYONE FUCKING COOPERATES it works.

I deal with a roundabout almost daily and the issue is that when an American gets onto it their instinct is to block people entering. It's the exact same mentality that has someone speed up to block you from changing lanes in front of them on the highway.

The end result is everyone pulls up and has to come to a complete stop while the people on their left get on and try to accelerate hard to prevent the people on their right from entering. Fucking absurd.

To be clear:
You don't yield to people already in the roundabout when you're entering.
You do yield to people entering the roundabout when you're already in it.

They installed a double roundabout freeway exit/entrance here, in Arcata, about 4-5 years ago. The only signs are yield signs. Because it's got two one way freeway exits, two one way freeway entrances, and one through street it's pretty hard to mess up.
Now, the roundabouts ON the freeway in Iceland, three lanes wide, those were incomprehensible.

I'm from the home of the good 'ole roundabout and honestly... I don't get how you are meant to use this thing. Also yes, ours are absolutely plastered with signs and help.

Is this two one way roads, or was it just random chance that all the traffic was going one way? Normally one side of the road would be for return traffic?

Took a wee while, but I found a picture of a normal looking roundabout and even in a country where people use them all the time there are a lot of attempts to tell you how to use it:

BODYCAM: What Not To Say To A Traffic Cop

newtboy says...

As a woman?! As a woman?!
If that's your reasoning why police can't approach you when you stop in the fast lane and block traffic and your excuse for being obstinate and ignorant, get the fuck home, throw away your shoes, get in that kitchen, get pregnant, and learn to shut up.
I bet she says she's a feminist too.

Car Cuts Off Semi Truck

wtfcaniuse says...

The car driver indicated before having a seizure and changing lanes?

I find it easy for the car to be hidden from the truck driver in a blind spot. I find it impossible that the entirety of the truck was in the car's blind spot.

If a truck was to keep all vehicles out of their blind spots it would be almost impossible to drive.

Maybe not an idiot. The driver of the car could have been having a seizure.

I'm sure the truck driver thought the same thing and decided to teach the idiot a lesson at any cost.

As far as blind spot is concerned, the truck driver should have kept the car in view if there was a blind spot at all.

Car Cuts Off Semi Truck

Khufu says...

Also, the truck shouldn't be following a hundredth of a second behind the truck in front and when it was obvious the silver car was going to do the lane change there was ample time to take the foot off the gas, this was a 50/50 at fault if we're honest.

Almost car jacked by Cartel in Nuevo Laredo.

Janus says...

Sounds good, but realistically then they likely have your license plate number and a grudge to settle.

EDIT:
Not to mention those other cars they were using to block the lanes, of course.

AMERICAN RIDING A MOTORBIKE IN HANOI VIETNAM

StukaFox says...

You've apparently never driven in my neighborhood. There's a 6-way stop that leads into my section of Seattle and NO ONE knows how to work it. The people who actually live here do ok, but Uber/Lyft drivers encounter this traffic monstrosity with a mix of dread and WTF-ery.

Brave Men Save Pelican Tangled In Fishing Line

StukaFox says...

I love 84!

I had some friends into exotic cars and we'd take 84 over to the coast now and again, mostly because we had a shit-ton of money and a shit-ton of spare time to kill -- the Dot-Com fucking rocked!

There's a bend in the road just outside La Honda on the coastal side that's a 15mph hairpin with a tree at the apex. It's a lovely goddamn thing, especially when you forget it's there. So here we all come, lane-trading and exercising general assholery in cars that cost what a nice single-family home does.

Oh FUCK, the turn!!

My friend in the 911 does this beautiful trail-brake and swings through the curve. Elise follows suit, complete with smoking tires. Next up is Countach. He BARELY holds it together, but gets through without any real drama.

Now it's my turn.

Did I mention I was driving a '97 Camaro Z-28? Yeah, Camaros of that year are good at exactly one thing: driving very fast in very straight lines. Corners? Yeah, not so much. I realize I'm in trouble and I'm coming into the turn WAY too fast. I grab the shifter and get ready. My plan is that I'm going to slam it into first, let the rev limiter do its thing to save the engine, pull the e-brake and swing the tail, then punch it and swing the ass-end around and launch out of the curve with smoking Z-rated tires and all!

And HERE WE GO -- grab the shifter, yank it all the way down and...

That's when California emissions standards fucked me.

You see, when you buy a Camaro Z-28 in California, you don't actually get first gear. You get what's called a California First, which is actually SECOND gear, because if you were actually able to use FIRST gear, the goddamn car would belch enough emissions to make a farting Brontosaurus blush. And second gear ain't exactly gonna work for my little plan.

tl;dr is that I hit the no-lock brakes hard enough to get my speed down and was able to bring the ass around with the little e-brake trick. I wasn't out of the woods because I over-corrected on the way out and spun. The same God that I spite and don't believe in actually saved my ass and I didn't end up going off the road. Apparently, he loves fools and Z-28 Camaros.

I honestly had more fun in that car than the law allows: sometimes literally, like when I got clocked at 110 coming onto the straight at King City. Good times, man, good times.

newtboy said:

I love that stretch of coast.
As a teen I used to party at hidden beach a few miles North. The only access was a sketchy 6" wide path on the cliffside, so we knew cops wouldn't bother us there.
Should've taken 84 home, less time driving in the stink and you could've gotten great BBQ in La Honda. ;-)

MMA Fighter shows exactly what happened to George Floyd

greatgooglymoogly says...

Kueng hadn't yet completed his third full shift as a police officer on the day of the incident.

Thomas Lane was on his fourth day on patrol.

In the video, Lane can be heard asking several times about rolling Floyd over and Chauvin says no.

I think it will be hard to get a murder conviction against these two.

There certainly is distinction between the actions of all 4 officers.

Trump denied it was a problem, just a China hoax, until there were hundreds of infected on our shores, despite being told by every adult to start testing and quarantining months earlier.
Trump removed the CDC officer in China that was there to give the U.S. early warning about exactly this kind of pandemic.
Trump cut CDC funding making them less prepared, which has now cost hundreds of lives and trillions in losses that could have been prevented if this was taken seriously. It could have been stopped from spreading in America if Trump didn't actively ignore the blaring warning sirens for months, or had not instructed his subordinates to do the same.

Trump now says any governor that isn't nice enough to him personally will be abandoned by the federal government with their calls for help going unanswered by the Whitehouse, threatening to just let thousands of American citizens die if governors don't properly kiss his ass and claim it tastes like peaches.

For al the bluster Trump does, He still way teh fck better than Biden or Sanders.

Thump has a good team in place to fight this. Can it be stopped? only in a Communist country can lock down 100%. America cant do that with out bitching and lawsuits and state / local opposing, not to mention the media jumping piling on even more for Anti Trump Slant.

Anatomy of a Viral Lie, COVID-19

newtboy says...

So sad you're that deluded. There are many he pleaded guilty to, both before and after being elected. Defrauding children and veterans with a fake charity he used to line his own pockets just to name one he admitted under oath and paid millions in fines for.
You really don't pay attention, do you? I have no lane, I swerve wildly across the freeway in an unpredictable zig zag pattern. Criminal cop exposure is hardly "my lane". Derp.

bobknight33 said:

No scandals only anti Trump people trying to take him out. All proven wrong.

Stay in you lane and just keep posting bad cop videos.

Wow....after 3+ years of multilayered overlapping scandals, any one of which would have ended any other leader's/politician's career, you still believe something exists that could turn his cultists away? You think far more of humans than I do.
I tend to think that if he was caught red handed in bed with three fourteen year old boys, suddenly homosexuality and pedophilia would be perfectly fine with them.
