Being fairly new, I didn't know that roundabouts are the perfect place to attempt to pass someone. Entering the roundabouts at 25mph wasn't fast enough for the old brown Lexus so he decided to try and pass. Now, I see why road rage is all the rage in TV. IMHO.
Update We were both in the left lane, he was behind me. Another car was in the right lane and was much slower. All 3 cars went straight or 2nd exit. As soon as the slower car slowed more the car behind me floored it to cut them off, get on my bumper and in a matter of 1 exit passed me. I was doing 20-25mph which I consider a very tolerable speed. Some people are simply jerks I guess. Luckily I caught him at Meggison and 44 and just smiled. Last edited by BPRICE1234; 03-13-2025 at 11:19 AM. Reason: Update |

Did he do anything more egregious than exit the roundabout before you, did he take an improper exit or prevent you from taking a valid exit?

Speeding counts. Passing in a roundabout is unnecessary and is aggressive/dangerous. That counts. Everyday I see folks, speeding, zigzagging through traffic, tailgating, running stop signs and traffic lights, etc. When one ignores traffic laws, safety signs, drives erratically and aggressivly trying to get ahead of one car or make the stale light, they are not showing what a great driver they are. They are proving what a jerk they are, arrogant and self important, with no regard for others. I know some of those folks and, sadly, they are totally clueless. In their mind, the are never at fault. It's always the other people. |

We already have one and it's nation wide. Folks just haven't figured it out yet.

He was behind me in the left lane, he sped up and went into the right lane and floored it. I guess he needed to be first to the Morse bypass. Ps. I wasn't going slow.

Itβs hard to get the full picture from the short description. Was the speeder already in the roundabout, albeit in the left lane, when the OP entered the roundabout? Or did they both enter together at the same entry.

If it makes you feel better we were behind a vehicle on Meggison in broad daylight that refused to pass the golf carts running in the diamond lane in front of them. First I ever saw that one. To comment on your concern, I am curious what time of day this happened? Between 4 and 5 pm itβs like everyone is trying to get home from work and multiple times I have see stuff like you describe??

Don't expect people to drive in a way that suits you. They are going to drive in a manner that suits them.
If you want to live here without going nuts, you will have to find a driving style that suits you. We have lived here 9 years and we love driving around here. |

Just another example of speed and other traffic laws for both vehicle and village karts needs to be enforced.
