    That’s not how roundabouts work. They’re really simple:

    1. Look left and enter when clear
    2. Look straight until you exit

    That’s it. This only gets complicated if traffic is backed up, in which case everyone is going slow enough for it to not matter.

      Nice, I don’t know why, but I was picturing the pink car going fast enough to squeal their tires like they used to in the one nearest where I live. We only got roundabouts here a decade or two ago, so they’re still a novelty to most. I don’t drive much, as you can probably tell.

        Yeah, speeds in a roundabout should be very slow, like 15mph/20-25kph. Bigger ones can handle a bit faster traffic, but they’re not designed for high speed, but lack of stopping.

        And I envy you, I wish I didn’t need to drive as much.
