They own these $80,000 cars, but they’re unable to negotiate the roadways efficiently. Getting old sucks, so we just have to be alert and use the IPDE process. Identify, Predict, Decide, Execute. Stay clear of them as many of them are likely impaired by Rx or alcohol or… BOTH!

You are missing the fact that a signaled driver inside the circle has the right of way….

So I sped up and entered the RB since they indicated they were exiting before they got to where I was.

I was wrong. They were just kidding. They had no intention of exiting at that exit. So they beeped and made nasty gestures to me - and tailgated me, beeping and gesturing and yelling at their windshield all the way to Banderas (which is where I turned to go to Publix).

All I could think about was - well - next time if they don't want to be inconvenienced by someone who is watching their movements to make sure it's safe to proceed, they should - be more accurate about the signals they're presenting.

If you mean "drive defensively", you are absolutely correct. These RABs will work perfectly every time if everyone, and I mean everyone, abides by the rules of the RABs. Having said that, it is impossible to expect that everyone understands the rules and abides by them.


So, back to square one. DRIVE DEFENSIVELY!!!!!

The multi lane roundabouts can be challenging. … What makes it difficult sometimes is a vehicle that enters the roundabout into the outside lane while I am in the inside lane with my turn coming up and then the vehicle speeds up to the point that trying to cross the outside lane to exit can be dangerous.

You agree with an OP that’s totally wrong???

Changing lanes in the roundabout is NOT prohibited. You can change lanes anywhere there are dashed lines.
if you are going 3/4 around, you have to change lanes to exit the circle.

I thought the same thing but didn't comment. I'm wondering if that poster has actually read the thread?

My experience on TOTV is that more than 1/2 of posters just blurt something out without reading, which is the reason for multiple posts stating exactly the same thing.
