Can't wait. Now all I do is close my eyes and floor it.

We could do a demolition derby at much lower electrical cost.

My solution is a more serious one:
Go to 1 Lane inside instead of two were most mishaps happen.
Makes to much sense I guess

.......or learn to navigate a roundabout properly, which also makes to much sense I guess!

People trying to merge into one lane every 1/2 mile or so? The traffic would be ridiculous. Plus, if they can’t figure out a roundabout then they most likely don’t know the rules of merging. Now enter bikes into the fray. Oh my.

So you are the one taking the third exit from the right lane?

Well, we know there is at least one person who does it, since about 2 months ago he posted "I always take the right lane to the 3rd exit because I BELIEVE it is safer". I suppose he also believes in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy as well.

Coming from Pinellas gate going towards Sarasota or Walmart it went from two lanes to one. The arrow on the inside lane states you must continue around the RB but people on the outside lane are cut off all the time as people on the inside make an illegal exit to Moyers Loop.
NOT 100% acceptable.

That is NOT the typical RB. I will modify to 99% acceptable.
