They said that this is what was printed in the paper. I remember when they put that article in the Sun.
That's okay when this thread dies down, we only have to wait a month or so then there will be a new thread started about it. LOL :loco:

Good grief Rubicon, cite a FL statute to support your statement that a vehicle to your right has the right of way - in a roundabout- you are not going to find one.

This is definitely not true.

Yep. Just looks like another post on one of the many roundabout threads.

Thanks Mike. You said it all.

First of all, you're implying that there is a problem with the round abouts that needs a solution. I disagree. They're fine the way they are.

But, addressing your "solution" people in the right hand lane going to the second exit should not have to worry about people in the inside lane taking the first exit. Drivers int he left hand lane should not be taking the first exit. I see your idea causing more problems then it solves.

Really? a driver on the inside lane takes the first exit and causes a collision with a car in the right hand lane whose intention it is to take the second exit the the car on the outside is at fault?

Where did you read this?

Even if some document that The Villages produces says something like this, it doesn't supercede state law.

However, it could be the SECOND exit for the driver in the left lane if he started 90 degrees to your left, while it is the first exit for you

Mike, you're correct and your first sentence says it best.

But you wouldn't/shouldn't have entered the RAB if someone was approaching from your left. So, if it did result in a crunch, it would still be your fault. That's why you yield to all traffic coming from your left before entering the RAB.
