My friends, my friends, my friends, You live in The Villages EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. We have people from just about every geographical area in the Western Hemisphere. It should be clear to everyone that utilized a round-a-bout once that some folks are just too timid. Tthey don't know the difference between yield and stop. They can't see that a round-a-bout is no more than a curved intersection. They either panic or have short attention spans when navigating? They haven't figured out that if they signal their intentions it helps other drivers. We big city drivers understand the complexities of multiple lanes on/off exits etc and recognize that all you need to do is go with the flow and trust ( well trust but verify) every other driver knows what s/he is doing because s/he who hesitates creates a stoppage of traffic
Of course all of this still can't explain why I almost rear ended a guy who parked his golf cart in the left lane of a round-about and was out walking around
I am grateful for round-a-bouts because they 1) alleviate traffic 2) give me a break to talk about something better than the awful politics of today
Personal Best Regards:
