No license tag, and he was using the diamond lane.
When we got to the Buena Vista roundabout, rather than taking the mandatory left onto the MMP in order to negotiate BV via the tunnel, he went through the roundabout, very fast, ( there was no traffic at that moment on BV or on the roundabout so he had a clear shot), and like a rocket was gone, down St. Charles.
I was torn between being incensed at his blatant disregard for the rules of the road, and being amazed at his daring and brilliance in shaving a good 45 seconds off of his travel time.
I felt like Mr. Magoo puttering along at my pedestrian 18mph enjoying the beautiful evening air.

LOL, just need to get out of the way off the fools, which is not so easy when in a diamond land.
I love it when they cut over early to avoid the crossing at the gate and zoom up the exit lane.
Not suggestion to do it but if the speed limit in a roundabout is 20 mph, is it illegal?
There's a residential street into a Meggison roundabout at Okahumpka Rec Center that does not have a "No carts past this point sign." Noticed Carts frequently crossing there to get to the rec center?
