It's a little like playing chicken. He said people just back off every time. That's not me but I thought I would give it a try. So the next morning I just headed into the circle not looking left or right and then in my peripheral vision I backed off at the last minute because another PU was barreling in and knew I'd get clipped. I safely exited the circle and the driver who almost clipped me was Pete.

At lunch that day he said he never saw me. For Pete's sake and my own I never did that again.
