Dear americans tell me if you knew how to drive in one

"A Slate article by Tom Vanderbilt agrees, “We have grown used to (and feel comfortable with) binary, on-off traffic control … Roundabouts require drivers to make their own decisions and assess others’ actions, rather than relying on third-party signals.”

In other words, Americans are too stubborn, passive, and imperceptive in their driving to be able to make their own decisions. Unfortunately, we will have to learn how to actually “yield” and respect other drivers before we’ll ever receive the safety benefits of roundabouts."

This a problem in South Africa too. Mfs never indicate or they take a turn that the lane they were in isn't supposed to

im in USA and i actually have to drive through one right by me every time i leave the house. but i guess its not as common here and theres always the occasional person who gets confused

you wanna know how corrupt a european city is you count how many roundabouts they have

I wondered if americans have to learn to drive one when they go to europe but maybe this video is just a special case cause the s*** they be doing here is extremely dangerous

I don't see the problem?

Just vibes

nice vid

The town I come from has a single roundabout that you have to go through. If it weren’t for that i would have a mental breakdown at every roundabout here.

Classic

Looks like they saw one guy go the wrong way and followed him

This definitely people from CT

There are roundabouts in America.

American culture and roundabouts are opposed.

I have to go through 4 roundabouts to get to my job. They’re not as complex as the European ones appear to be

Boy I woulda crashed all in that s*** on first go.. give me a couple tries and I’d master it

Roundabouts test me when I repeat "Hesitation is defeat." in my head.

There should be more roundabouts in the US tbh it could improve traffic conditions

Americans needed automatic transmission for their cars, what makes you believe they can drive through a roundabout

they also needed a metric system built only for them so yeah, special people

For some, the roundabout, a concept imported from Britain in the 1970s and quickly spread by the firm hand of the French state, embodies the unchecked spending of taxpayer money on pet projects by government officials, especially mayors, who in the 1980s took over road management from the central government.

Many officials “saw the roundabout as a kind of fashionable object,” said Éric Alonzo, a professor at the École d’architecture de la ville & des territoires in suburban Paris who has written a book on traffic circles.

“I heard from technicians who weren’t necessarily recommending that solution,” he said, “but elected officials were saying, ‘I want one.’”

days without french tricks: 0

northern EU: please stop spending money

southern EU: we need more roundabouts
