Now I've seen it ALL in a roundabout!
A few minutes ago. As I yielded/stopped for vehicles in both lanes to my left, at entrance to the roundabout at Morse and Stillwater, myself heading northbound on Morse.
Vehicle to my left came around the circle as if intending to either exit onto Stillwater to my east, or keep going around to go north on Morse.
When this driver to my left got just past the exit onto southbound Morse (to my left), said driver must have thought they missed their exit and stopped and backed up, trying to get back enough to go south on Morse! Said driver screwed up drivers coming around in both lanes beside and behind him IN the roundabout, AND the drivers doing a right turn from Stillwater onto Morse southbound. It could have been an 8-car pileup.
Note to everybody who's never been here and thinks it's just a bunch of old people too feeble to drive, think again: At least eight other of us drivers were keenly alert and did not hit or get hit by that crazy person backing up inside a roundabout and at the convergence of two entry lanes northbound, two lanes southbound, and right turn lane for those turning right from Stillwater onto Morse southbound.
Please. If you do not know enough to keep going and not stop/back-up when you miss your turn IN a roundabout, please stay off the road.
