Choosing the wrong lane to enter the roundabout is not what’s causing the majority of the accidents. It’s failure to yield until both lanes are free that’s causing most of them.

And why is that? Because it’s counterintuitive to what you’ve been doing all your life. Think about it. When you’re heading home from work in heavy traffic and you’re entering the highway on an entrance ramp., do you wait until both lanes are free or just the right hand lane?

Nuff said?
