The amount of people who cannot properly drive a roundabout is mind-boggling.

Combine that with people who cannot stay in their lane and they are just a recipe for disaster.

By learning the simple rule of yielding to traffic in the roundabout, you eliminate problems with entry. The problems arise because lane changing within the roundabout must occur when motorists are making more than just a right hand turn. Paths will cross in a very short distance and while turning. Merging under this circumstance is not something American motorists are familiar with and leads to panicked moves, as well as uncertainty about what the other guy will do.

The four way stop, by contrast, is very familiar. It has one simple rule, and it gives motorists time to stop and sort out the order of who moves when.

So transitioning from one way of handling intersections to the other is not as trivial as it might seem.

Take this simple diagram and superimpose the same pattern coming from all four directions. It gets confusing fast for people who didn’t grow up with it.

I couldn’t tell if he survived it or busted something. The girl said something about stopping for him. It would be karma i f he broke something important.

I don’t see any lines going against the flow for a left turn on the chart , I see that far too often in real life .

Well that’s just someone freaking out or not using common sense.

Or maybe the guy in KingTchalla’s video.
