"Its sometimes OK to roll through stop signs if you can clearly see no traffic coming from either direction" was one of the quotes on this thread. Where does the law say thats OK? Or is it more of an "attitude" by the driver?
If you are entering the round about at six o'clock and are going to exit it at three o'clock should use the left hand lane. If you're planning on exiting it at 12:00 you can use either lane. If your going to exit at 9:00 or continue all around and exit where you entered, you should use the left hand lane. How is it that a perfectly safe exit is not possible?

A driver obviously needs to be aware of other cars around him and sometimes we need to make a decision on whether to go in front of a car or slow down and let that car pass. These decisions are made all the time whether or not you're in a round a bout.
