I wonder why it works for me. I use youtube quite a bit and now I wonder if they worked at all.
bummer
[does anyone even say bummer anymore?]

Excellent. Thank you.

They have turned TV into a tourist destination and that is not what it is.

Three things:
1. Backing up in a roundabout takes the cake.
2. Making a left turn by not using the roundabout. Saw this one in the Belvedere roundabout and the driver was totally oblivious, they were doing something wrong.
3. Going three quarters around the roundabout, in the right lane.

As usual, we need to be careful by not staying aside another driver, in the RB.

Some people don't know better and the other half doesn't care, until an accident happens!

Let's be careful out there!

Who is "they?"

I'd say "they" are "us"!

It's "us" that buy houses and then rent them out for the season FOR AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE!

I'm wondering who the greedy ones are?

The developer builds and sells houses. We buy them and then create a tourist destination by renting them to folks who want to spend a few months in the warm, Florida sun. Nothing wrong with that, but it is what it is.

The person in the left lane can go straight or make a left turn. It is deceiving though when watching traffic exit the RABs.....it sort of looks like everyone is making a right turns when they really aren't. It all depends on where a person enters the RAB.

From the entry point in a RAB.......

The first exit is a right turn (from the outside lane)
The second exit is going straight (from the outside or inside lane)
The third exit is a left turn (from the inside lane)
The forth exit is a U turn (from the inside lane)

This is what a roundabout looks like to first timers:

I see that all the time also. What a waste of money to put up those green signs showing drivers what lanes should do in the roundabout.

Yesterday I was driving on St. Charles going to BV Blvd; at the St. Charles gate a large SUV made a right hand turn onto the golf cart path at Sandhill. Several of us honked our horns; a maintenance worker got him straightened out.

The lunatic that backed up on the roundabout diagonally across both lanes was driving a "large SUV" too.

They had the driving skill and sense for driving maybe a Cozy Coupe in a walled-in backyard! Little Tikes Cozy Coupe 30th Anniversary Edition | ToysRUs

Yup!!!

Wow! Scarey!

Out of State Speeders
 

Everyday as I travel Buena Vista towards Sumter Landing, I am passed by Out Of State cars going 45-50 mph. Don't the speed limits apply to them?

Forget about the roundabouts. While traveling south on Buena Vista, I stopped at a red traffic light on 466a to observe a car in the left(east) turn lane decide to turn right and proceed in front of three lanes of stopped cars to then travel west on 466a. Right turn on red from the left turn lane! Didn't know that was OK in Florida.

That's nothing---wait till you see what I do in your driveway on Sunday:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I was told someone watched that circle for an hour and over 50% of the cars in the right lane going east on Stillwater into that circle proceeded around the circle and headed north on Morse. Many I assume want to be in the right lane coming out of the circle so they will be in the by-pass lane of the next circle. That however is no excuse.

So they are approaching the roundabout in the right lane on Stillwater. You mean they also stay in the outside lane of the roundabout all the way around?

I'm surprised it was only 50% lol. I agree with many of the drivers wanting to take the northbound by pass.

Unless you have some idiot in the right lane, it is easy enough to stay in the proper left lane to merge right to enter the by-pass after exiting the roundabout.
Just read the damn signs on entering any roundabout.

But there's always an idiot in the right lane at that roundabout. And boy do they get wigged-out if you try to get into the bypass lane ahead of them.

It seems like a lot of drivers feel like it is so important to them to use that by-pass, even though in reality, it saves them very little time.

Human nature to some, I guess, that if there is an opportunity to save some time, regardless of how little time it is, they are willing to break the law and risk an accident to do it.

When traveling east on Stillwater Trail I always use the inner lane when going through this roundabout, and I have always been able to safely move to the right lane after the roundabout and use the by-pass.

Hi dbussone: Some drivers purposefully use both lanes in an effort to control traffic behind them... not so good. However, on the other hand when there is a traffic jam on a interstate with only one lane open its a good thing when a semi blocks off traffic forcing drivers to alternate and assisting in alleviating the back up. something that should be obvious to drivers but then we do have drivers that believe their "special"and deserve to be first.

Can you imagine some of these folks in self driving vehicles trusting the vehicle to manipulate a round-a-bout:22yikes:

Its not 50 mp there:D Actually that area under discussion is heavily patrolled with radar and the fines are heavy

Do you really think it helps? Every time I see this, all it does is move the merge point back ANOTHER 1/2 mile or so---same pile up, that's just what happens when 2 lanes merge to 1. Yes, there are always a few clowns that try to sneak a couple of cars ahead and ride the closed lane to the end, but I don't think they contribute much to the back-up.
Meanwhile, who the h*ll do truck drivers think they are to dictate traffic flow to everyone else? They are not LEOs, they don't make the rules. If I were LEO I'd ticket every one of them for not staying in their lane! Same is true in a RB if the driver INTENTIONALLY tries to control everybody else. I've been driving for 45 years , I don't need my Mommy on the road. End of rant.

I was on Utah highway a few years ago. That's along way from home for me. There was an accident way up ahead. A police car got in front of me, put on his lights and slowed all a lanes down to 35mph. I think it was a a brilliant way to control traffic making it safe for the road people and ambulances up ahead.

This is not meant to support or contradict anyone. It's just an aside to a common conversation on TOTV. It's raining.

That's fine. And if they want to put a LEO out directing traffic, all the better. But private citizens do not have the authority to dictate their terms to others, LEO does.

I don't really care at all yet but I think it's possible that people don't have this type of intersection in the places they lived in their whole life. I saw some dopey thing's on the road while in TV but took them in stride because of the way things are on the road in N.J. It's gotta be rough being at an advanced age and having to negotiate a rotary, roundabout, circle for the first time after driving for so long without having to negotiate a road like this. Defensive driving at all times is the answer because the dopey things will never ever stop.

I for one not going to argue with 18 wheelie, I stay clear of them. You never know what's going to pop (fall) out the sides, or when tire may come bouncing off the spare rack, or blowout with huge chunks of rubber flying towards you.If they want lane or both lanes I don't get ****ed just get out of the road.

I use to live up north, I was especially concerned when I seen car or truck pass with huge chunk of ice or snow build up on the roofs which could come flying off any minute. :rant-rave: End od rant.

Saw the same thing recently at Buena Vista and 466..... R turn out of L turn lane..... across 3 lanes of traffic...... Lord help us all.
