I have seen similar online postings with cars doing the same thing so not the first and I’m sure not the last.

Let’s see how many light poles get knocked down this year in roundabouts?

Or the one way arrow signs as I saw on Meggison a few weeks back when someone went straight across the round a bout.

Obvious distracted driving.

Do you play with your infotainment screen while driving ?
Just read VW plans to go back to knobs.

Nobody ever said that roundabouts were absolutely safe or that accidents couldn’t occur there. It’s a question over which one is ‘safer’.

We have trees/posts down in our roundabouts all the time. The roundabouts are safe when negotiated correctly, but most of the time you get people that stop before each roundabout even when there are no cars in sight (I’m still looking for the magical stop signs that pop up), make the 1st right in the inside lane, on and on.
I’m thinking that it should be mandatory that when you reach a certain age, you have to get an autonomous driving car.

I'd bet alcohol was involved in the OP's example🍺
