In 2005 or thereabouts, the newbies had a different idea and everything got screwed up. Everyone thought they were more experienced in round abouts and we had to change the rules.
But I do not think that the new rules are not right for our community.
I Will never make a right turn from a left lane and FEEL SAFE. It is against all of the rules of traffic that I was taught. Therefore, I will stay in the right hand lane and go through three exits to get out of the exit. I will either keep my eye on the people in the left hand lane or straddle the line so I am not cut off.
I am easy to recognize. I am the motorized cart with the yellow flag. Just kidding.

So let me get this straight. You admit to breaking driving laws since 2001.
You won't make a right turn from the left lane which is correct if you go
3/4 around but you will make a left turn from the right lane which is
illegal on any type of road, roundabout or straight.
By the way the "Newbies" did not change anything. Just pick up the
pamphlet at TV office that the police have put out you may learn something.
You say you stay in the right lane and keep an eye on the left lane so
you will not be cut off. So I guess in your mind it's ok for you to cut
everyone else off.
