Reading comments about TV roundabouts I think of the movie European Vacation, with Chevy Chase going round and round saying, "Hey kids, Big Ben...Parliment."

I just go around and around (just like this thread) until I get dizzy then let go of the steering wheel and let the car exit where ever it wants to.
I think I was behind you in a roundabout the other day. ;)

You're definitely right about that! :bigbow:

FWIW, here's some info from the IIHS re: roundabouts - - - click on #6 for their perspectives on traffic flow.....

Q&A: Roundabouts

Bill :)
Very interesting information. I read it all. Thanks for providing the link. I certainly believe that organization's data, but it does seen counter-intuitive to me. I suppose I'll get better at driving on those things with experience, but they honestly give me the creeps!

But here's my plan......I'm going to give the right-of way (with a smile and a wave) to anyone who wants it or takes it and hope others will graciously grant the same to me if I take the right of way in error. That should work! :icon_wink:

Thanks, Bill!

:agree: There is a stop sign at the intersection right in front of our house and I'll bet only about 25% of the people going through the intersection actually stop. Some in golf carts don't hardly even slow down.

25% sounds a little high.
