Thanks. Great conversation

I assume you are talking about how they use the roundabouts in the UK but I want to draw attention to this so someone doesn't get mixed up and start doing that here. It's bad enough already. PLEASE people: according to the roundabout pamphlet if you are going to be leaving the circle at the 3rd exit, you MUST enter in the left/inside lane then cross back to the rt/resident lane or stay in lt/visitor lane upon exit to gate. I see sooo many people using the outer lane to go 3/4 of the way around to exit. The outer lane is for leaving at the 1st or 2nd exit--there is a straight arrow in the outer lane and a straight/left turn arrow in the inside lane. e.g. let's say two cars, side by side, are going South on Morse Blvd just past the LSL circle. The car in the rt lane plans on exiting at the Caroline gate. The 2 cars enter the circle. Car "A"/inside lane, plans on continuing South on Morse. As they get close to the 2nd exit(southbound) if car "B" continues going around it will broadside car "A" and much

ing and body damage will occur. Car "B" should have entered the circle in the left lane. Just remember, if you are going to be exiting at the 1st or 2nd exit, stay in the right lane; if you are going to be exiting at the 3rd exit and are approaching the circle, get over in the left lane well ahead of the circle and of course, use your turn signal to indicate you are changing lanes. Thanks for your cooperation. And Scratch, welcome to TOTV!
