My country is full of donkeys driving cars

[–] Deepus@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

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.

These idiotic roundabouts used to be everywhere in France. Most of them have been converted to inside-has-right-of-way but a few of the old ones still exist, with traffic lights on the inside.

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.

I get in and out of those roundabouts as fast as possible

I don't mind the design, I think they're great and save time and reduce traffic congestion

I just don't trust drivers of this generation to use them properly. We are currently in a transition period of generations ... an older generation of drivers that didn't grow up with these and a newer group who will think these roundabouts will be normal. As long as these old timers (including me) are around, these traffic situations will be dangerous.

Which is why, when I get to these roundabouts, I get in as quickly as possible and get out as quickly as I can

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)
