If you look at the arrows on the road, you will see that the right lane is supposed to continue straight (take the exit), while the inner lane has the option of continuing around or exiting. The idiot in the left lane chose to exit, while the outer lane idiot ignored the arrow and continued around the circle. However, I did notice that the idiot in the left lane failed to signal his intent.

I think the circles are designed to work that way to prevent idiots from changing lanes in the circle. Notice the solid lane dividers? That means you're supposed to stay in your lane. How would anyone in the left lane ever get out of the circle if he can't change lanes or cross the outer lane to exit? Notice the dashed lane divider, allowing the left lane to exit the circle? But maybe you were complaining about the outer lane guy?

My understanding is that the outer lane is for taking the first exit -- turning right immediately. At least that's what the Villages sales lady told me when I asked her how the traffic circles are supposed to work.

You know no matter what the rules of the road is or in this case rules of the roundabout is, people make up their own rules as they go. It’s a mess when some roundabout sometimes have 10 to 15 cars going around in roundabouts at once. No matter who’s fault it is they’re going to say it’s the other guys fault. I got my way of doing it & it works for me. This has always been a issue, just be careful. It never hurts or takes 10 sec. to keep going around the roundabout until your senior moment passes. Don’t hurry be safe!

But you can't argue this: When you get behind the steering wheel, you should be knowledgeable about driving.

AND ...... I believe that anyone over 65 (me included), should take and pass a physical road test every year when they re-register their vehicle.
