I looked this up so I wouldn’t be as scared driving in roundabouts. Now I’m more scared
I just got pulled over and got a warning by state patrol for changing lanes in the roundabout 😡
@@Bob-nb4yo At least now you know not to do that
Don’t worry in practice it’s very good
@@LuckTank What's wrong with that as long as you yield?
@@zaxlorax7605 It needlessly add another potential point of collision
I can't keep up with the animation. I need to pause and rewind a bunch of times.
I thought the same thing as you. you're not the only one that would think of doing that. I see your comment is one year old.
you can adjust the playback speed in the settings. I use this for lots of videos.
@@dariusanderton3760 that's not the point
Just stay the hell away from these nightmares. I'd like to hear the reasoning for putting more and more of these things in. I've heard people say that they're "safer" . . . . . HOW it the hell can that be? ? ? ?
I've changed my mind about these things. Yesterday I went through an intersection that used to be a nightmare when it had 2 stop signs. Now it's a roundabout. You could wait for 10 minutes for a gap in traffic before you could cross. Now you just proceed through the circle.
Jeez this looks terrifying.
It's not but it's supposed to be so people slow down, just NEVER signal left in a roundabout even though it shows cars are.
It is
Losh That’s incorrect. You keep signalling left when in the inner most lane, until you need to exit, then you signal right. Everyone in the outermost lane should be taking the first exit.
American here. I hope we get traffic circles like these as more standard issue soon. If you sit and look at it for like 10 minutes, it isn't that hard to figure out
@Amari Joseph I encounter 5 roundabouts within 1 miles of each other whenever I go to my parents place. I live in Iowa and lots of new neighborhoods are putting these in. And some are being constructed in existing areas.
Also getting more of these. ruclips.net/video/Zd5AatLWvcg/видео.html
For people that still seem confused. To make it more simple. The three most important things to remember are:
1. You may only use the right lane if you plan on exiting the traffic circle on the first or second exit only (the first two right hand turns). But not if you want to use any exit after the second exit.
2. You can use the left hand lane if you plan on exiting traffic circle from any exit except the very first right hand turn. (You can use it on the second exit, the third and to go all the way around the circle if you want, but never use the left lane if you want to use the first exit on your right)
3. Don't change lanes inside the circle.
Danny Campbell Thanks.
+Danny Campbell Nonsense
+Danny Campbell ... As long as you yield to traffic to your left, it is legal though not recommended to use the right lane for the 3rd exit. Buses and large vehicles do this. I used to ride ETS buses regularly and they always use the right lane.
+Gary Cameron TRAFFIC CIRCLE is driving straight over and over again, and always turn to the right. Not to turn left.
incorrect. If two vehicles enter at the same time beside each other, one in each lane, and the left lane car wants to go straight through and the right lane car wants to take the 3rd exit and gets hit by the car in the left lane, the car in the right lane will be at fault every single time.
Animations were confusing. Took me awhile to realize what car I’m supposed to be looking at
look just to the highlighted one :D
I looked this up because I almost got into an accident today in the traffic circle I go through on my away home from work. I've gone through it about 1000 times without incident. I take the 2nd exit so I always get in the left lane. Today someone from the entrance right before my exit flew through the yield sign and tried to shoot ahead of me essentially cutting me off. I slammed on the breaks, as did they because we were essentially facing each other since they were going to the next exit. I admit to being a timid driver and in general. We both had our windows down and the person screamed at me saying they had the right of way and asked what was wrong with me. I honestly felt I had the right of way but to avoid a situation I apologized profusely and went around the circle a 2nd time since they were blocking my exit and to avoid hitting their car I had to turn left. After watching this I feel much better as I can say I honestly did nothing wrong, especially since I wasn't speeding.
"brakes"
You should have knocked him out and wait for police to figure who was right!
You apologized because you understand that doing something a lot doesn't mean you're automatically right. They berated you because they are afraid of being wrong. Keep your humility - it will serve you well in life.
There are ignorant idiots behind the wheel everywhere. Shake it off. Glad you took a moment to clarify. Makes you smarter than most.
Ignore Christopher Wright, he's teaching you to be walked all over. Don't be nasty but don't be a doormat. Be nice but don't let people walk all over you.
Roundabouts are much safer with just one lane.
but useless on a street with a lot of cars
True
Definitely not an issue in Nebraska. Admittedly, I didn't know multi lane circles existed, until watching Aerial America and looking at Highway 1 further south of where the episode starts, down in LA.
using colorful guideline on lanes will help figure out that pb.
draw big arrow guideline on the road which this video described
Two lanes in a circle makes zero sense to me
What always throws me off is the "exiting from the inside lane" concept. To do that you're always crossing over the outside lane at the last second which causes confusion.
YES! can someone explain this
Actually no, now that I look at it again, the outside lane is always exiting the next available exit, so someone exiting from the inside lane should never be blocking anyone coming around the outside. As long as the roundabout is designed the way it appears in this thumb.
@@tinderbox218 My question is, if you enter from 6 into the inner lane to get off at 9, and a car comes in from 12 into the outer lane to get off at 6 (I.e., go straight). Who has the right of way? I would assume the car in the inner lane but that’s what scares me since if the car in the outer lane keeps going as you try to get off, you could have a collision. It seems kind of a grey zone to me.
@@skateboarding118 the car turning left. It was in the roundabout before the car entering at 12 was. Simple rule. Give way to traffic already in roundabout before entering.
@@skateboarding118 Cars already have the right of way when they’re inside. So the car coming from 12 would have to look & WAIT until car from 6 passes them
Just started driving and there's this roundabout I have to go through to get to the gym I hate it because it's kind of confusing and scary also someone honked at me I think I might have cut them off sorry 😅 I'll just go around next time 😭
This video would have been a lot better if there weren't 74 vehicles coming into the animation at once. I've been driving these things for over 15 years and know them inside and out, but after watching the video I can see how people would become confused. Absolutely failure of an animation. You used so many cars it became distracting and I wasn't even sure what car to watch.
total fail. I am more confused than ever.
Mr Bobby Brown Its not difficult each example vehicle is colour coded but I’m assuming you’re too much of an idiot to realize that.
Seems as signals come on a bit early.
I disagree. The actions being discussed were highlighted, and the multiple vehicle animations demonstrate how a driver performing these actions would need to interact with other vehicles. I found the video helpful, considering that there are very few traffic circles in my area, so I don't have much experience with them.
I think it's ok, in that it resembles what happens in real life in a roundabout i.e. multiple vehicles entering and exiting so maybe it helps with distributive attention.
If you think about roundabouts as normal intersections it is much easier to wrap your mind around. Don't be distracted by all the cars in the animation. The only thing i would add is that because it is possible for people to miss their exit, cars on right side lane should yield to the left lane if they miss the second exit, which forces the driver to have to go all the way around. If you think about it, if you're on the right lane, you typically shouldn't be making left hand turns anyway.
Indicating left for when you are driving into the roundabout?!?!
-European
That's normal procedure in Norway
@@Huso9922 Sounds stupid, but I suppose your streets are marked differently and it makes sense to you.
In Romania you signal right for the first exit, don't signal for the second and signal left for the 2 other exits (at least that's common practice around here, I don't know what's written in the law).
@@zaxlorax7605 Seams a bit pointless. If a car is signalling left you need to know where it entered to know when it exits, and that would (at lest by Polish law) must be signaled by the right blinker.
In Switzerland you just indicate right, if you want to exit the roundabout.
If you going into the circle why signal at all we all know you going straight into it
Anyone else come here after so many people cutting you off in a roundabout? It made me second guess the rules lol
I just searched roundabout (JJBA) and this popped up
I’m here cause i can’t sleep
I have a driving test this month and I just suck at driving 👌🏾
People taking the 3rd exit are in their right to cut you off if you're just entering from the second exit (from their perspective). This video is wrong and misleading.
yeah, a truck decided to use both lanes at the same time even though i was beside him as he cam all the way over in my lane and ran me off to the middle or center of the roundabout
This made me cry
Girl, you and me both. hahaha
This is freaking difficult. Sounds easy but is not. The driver must know the route in order to NOT miss the traffic circle rules..
i love how, it is not just the cars that appear that matter, just normal traffic simulation also happens, like, some cars that just are there to simulate traffic are NOT necessary, but it looks way better if you have them
As a 20 year+ truck driver I have yet to come across a roundabout large enough for a modern semi; on the whole continent! Either the radius is too small and my trailer rides on the center curb or I take both lanes, angering the car drivers to no end.... Thank you ever so much; as if I need another reason to damage my vehicle or more people hating me and trying to 'teach me a lesson'!
My dad drove truck for 25 years...and too many people don't understand what truck drivers have to do to maneuver around. Not to mention the average citizen driver (non truck drivers) are morons in a big hurry for no legit reason.
Then you don't drive in the left lane, simple.
I've never seen such a horrifying thing
What are you, American?
HOW can this be safer than a 4way stop? ? ? If I was forced into this nightmare contraption . . . I'd be on it all day long trying to figure out how to get out of it . . .unless I was the only car
@@tthom2459 thats sorta the point.. it prevents you from stopping and potentially causing a crash
@@thomasliptak9469 stopping is the least worrysome option for causing a crash. You got at least half the folks behind the wheel of their car not having the slightest idea what to do. Don't you think the potential of a crash is higher there?
@@tthom2459 your over thinking things, and it might be easier if you did it rather than watched it
As a non-driver I have a hard time crossing at roundabouts because so many drivers don't change their indicators when they leave the roundabout I have wait and see if they are continuing around or coming off at the exit I am trying to cross.
I mean it’s a good demonstration, but I had a very difficult time keeping up with the animation and what was being said. But it really helped me understand a double land around about. Because I’m not very good with them myself. Innoway for me they are kind of confusing.
If you want to U-turn in a roundabout or a whole way around, you have to enter the very left lane, signal left, yield and proceed when safe. Exit by signaling right and stay on the very left lane, a similar rule to turn left of ¾ way around.
Simply amazing! Congratulations buddy!
When I was first learning how to drive I started in a roundabout just because there were two in the area I was practicing but I swear mine were only a one lane turn right only typa thing so to see one so big and complicated is interesting to say the least
The video is very much effective. Every driver should watch and understand the learning. May we use the videos for the drivers of Bangladesh prior to acknowledging your credentials.
Traffic circles, or rotaries, are much larger than modern roundabouts. The graphic at right shows the size of a traffic circle (in green) compared to the smaller modern roundabout (in grey). Traffic circles often have stop signs or traffic signals within the circular intersection.
Use outside lane for taking first exit or going ahead and use inside lane for taking any exit except the first.
Totally help full For UAE thanks
I never knew you were supposed to exclusively use the inside lane to go halfway or 3/4 around. Fortunately I've never been in a busy roundabout. So do they have signs with these instructions for people approaching? A simple double diagram showing the correct paths - one with a right turn, and another diagram showing a combination of proper 1/2, 3/4 or full turn - would illustrate it well, that is, assuming people know what they mean. But people planning their trips driving to a location with roundabouts for the first time won't be giving this much thought until they arrive at the roundabout and collapse a building or something.
Great video, very correct explanation. Just missed the full u-turn explanation, although its pretty clear what the correct maneuver is.
These rules are a little different than what I learned in New England's rotaries. While most rotary circles have the "yield to traffic already in the rotary" rule, there are some where traffic in the rotary must yield to entering traffic.
Also, around here, we are taught not to change lanes when *entering* the rotary, but to always merge to the right to *exit*. Using the left lane to go straight ahead would be frowned upon unless the exit had multiple lanes. The right-hand lane is our default "straight-through" lane at a rotary. With the left lane only being used by traffic going more than half-way around.
With signalling, it makes no sense to me to signal left to take an exit that is straight ahead. Certainly, I would always signal right once I've passed the exit immediately prior to my intended exit, but I would not signal left unless I my exit was to the left of where I entered.
The rules for signalling and lane usage in New England's rotaries mostly mirror those of Old England's roundabouts.
Same principles in the UK regarding merging, only opposite as we drive on the left. We're taught to merge to the left as we are passing the exit just before ours, that way traffic entering knows not to move yet as they can see we're exiting. We also don't signal for straight ahead, other than when exiting.

When yielding to oncoming traffic, is it like a 4-way intersection where whoever stops at the line first has the right away??
ILL BE THE ROUNDABOUT, YOUR WORDS WILL MAKE YOU OUT!!!
Perfect video. Thanks 👍
Two questions:
1) Why all the cars have blinkers on all the time? They are only necessary when exiting the roundabout
2) Why are the back blinkers red and not orange?
because american cars don't have a seperate blinker on the back for signaling , they use the stop lights as signaling lights (insane I know)
weird, in manitoba you only signal when exiting the traffic circle, not when entering (unless you are immediately exiting to the right)
I just came home form from visiting a friend in a town where there were 6 of these in a Row. It was terrifying and confusing!!! What a mess!

Pedestrian: *i just got hit buy a car!*
Also Pedestrian: *eh*
damn confusing
Sorry UK guy here. In the UK, you are normally expected to exit roundabouts in the outside lane. So looking at the example at 0:58, indicating and switching to the outside lane as you pass the exit before the one you intend to take is the right approach. The car coming into the roundabout in this example is supposed to yield to you anyway as you are already in the roundabout, so, there should be no collision. But we are required to check mirrors anyway and make sure idiots like that don't exist
+Chafeh Sergi Good tip for people travelling to the UK to know!
same in Sweden and I believe it´s the same in all of the scandinavian countries at least.
I believe we have to yield to each other like polite gentlemen on the road.
Yup that's the correct approach in Europe
I agree with you. Turning right to exit the circle (roundabout) from the inside lane looks very dangerous. Made especially dangerous because drivers on your outside in this demonstration could be continuing to the next exit.
Amazing!
if the right lane is used ONLY for turning right, you don’t have to worry about drivers cutting off the left lane
What if there's two vehicles in the circle side by side, the inner car is exiting right, and the car on the outside lane is going straight, who has the right of way, the one turning right or going straight?
I believe the video says outside must always yield to inside.
Unfortunately - AMA isn't correct at the 18 second mark... you are allowed to make a right hand lane turn from the inside lane (and you have right of way if there is a car in the outside lane - you just have to yield right of way if there is a car coming from inside the traffic circle on your left.) Edmonton Police Services confirmed it: twitter.com/sparken_87/status/1156275251765899264
In the Netherlands there is a small difference. You start to blink before you get on the roundabout for left (3/4) or right (1/4). You don't blink if you want 1/2. But you blink always if you leaving the roundabout. In the video in Canada you blink left (3/4) before you hit the roundabout, and you go 1/2. Why ? Confusing the one at the first (1/4) round who wants to get on the roundabout. Can I get 1/4 without any problems.
Before entering roundabout as vehicle approached at yield sign; If u are on Right Lane intended to exist 1st exit , use Right signal before entering into roundabout, (otherwise no need for signal) same for Left lane vehicle (if intended to exit 1st exit) but if the Vehicle at Left or Right Lane intended Not to exit at 1st Exit, No need for any signal, and will use signal when both has entered inside the roundabout; right signal for 2nd exit for 3rd use left signal (shows not going straight)and immediately right signal to exit at 3rd exit;
People should not signal before entering the round about. Purpose of signal is to inform other road users about your intention, when the you have multiple options. Reason for why we do not signal while driving straight, for the same reason we should not signal before entering a round about too. Watch the video from 0.16 sec onward until 0.18 sec, blue car approaching from the left side of the roundabout(from our point of view) put a left signal before entering the round about which may easily confused the yellow car entering the round about straight(from our point of view). However, while exiting the round about traffic must signal the intention. Apart from this, it's a good video on the matter, very helpful to understand the procedure.
Question, if you enter the inside/left lane and you want to exit on the opposite side/straight across/half-way around but you have someone beside you in the outside/right land, do you have the right of way to exit? If the person in the right lane decided to go to the next exit, you'd collide when you cross into their lane.
You have the right of way. At 2:00 the video explained that cars in the right land aren't allowed to do a 3/4 turn around the traffic circle.
nice short and clear 👌
Please forward to St George Utah .
I have a problem with roundabouts i think there is not a common rule for all of them which is very bad... for example if you have a roundabout that has two exit but both are more than half of the roundabout distance from entry? Or if the roundabout has 3-4 lanes? but exits and entries have like 1 or 2 or a mix of 1 and 2?
Does this apply to all nation or just some?
Question: if I’m coming from bottom on left side lane and going to the top, and another vehicle is coming from right on right side lane and going across to left, who has right of way when I am about to turn right to get across?
These roundabouts did not exist years ago when I first took my driving test. I encountered one, didn't know what it was, and almost had an accident, because nobody was taught what to do.
I love these
so to summarize: use proper indications/signals and exit on the same lane you enter the roundabout, ie do not switch lanes within the roundabout
dont know which country you’re from but spralling to the outside lane in encouraged in the UK, as the last states the driver should be on the outer (left) lane unless overtaking or turning right
One case the video does not make clear is whether when turning right from the right lane one should yield to the traffic in the inside/left lane of the circle.
0:07 speaks about that, but it shows not yielding to the right lane. One would think it does apply to both lanes, but the rest of the video shows many cases when the car on the right lane enters the circle when there is already a car in the left/inside lane in the circle.
So many more people need to know this... stupid drivers are everywhere.
and what does calling people names make you?
It's not about "stupid drivers." Some people have simply never encountered a traffic circle before. That's what videos like this are for.
Before you learned how to navigate a traffic circle, you were, in fact, a "stupid driver."
Stupid design
Yes, stupid drivers because they’ve never encountered a certain situation before. I mean, why don’t the people automatically know it? If I hand a random stranger a book written in French, even if they have never seen a french word in their life, I expect them to translate the entire book into English, and if they can’t, then they must just be an autist or something.
@@dumdum7786 Or maybe the fact that knowing French isn't in the drivers handbook but Roundabouts/Traffic Circles are might play into it?
I look up roundabout by yes for jojo reasons and get this. Thanks Alberta.
Hi what software did you use to create such an amazing animation videos?
Helpful video
1:38 Why is it not preferred to use the first lane when going straight? Also, why signal left? And not just signal right when exiting?
He did signal right before he exited, tho?
Which car am I looking at?
4 way stop, Still the safest and fastest method. There is a Mythbusters episode on it.
Hi @Alberta Motor Association, can you tell me if this is a Traffic Circle or a Roundabout? Thank you!
or . . maybe a RoundaCircle . . . or a Turn About ? ? ?
It’s the same as an intersection with a dedicated turn lane just it been made into a circle look at the outside lane far right lane as the turn right only lane now he did say you can go straight but it’s not permitted mostly and look at the far left lane as your turning left lane at a normal intersection. If you wanna take your first exit stay in the far right lane yield to traffic in the circle then just go right if you wanna take exit 2 3 or do a complete u turn and go back the way you came stay in the left lane yield to traffic in the circle and just go around the circle and exit on the 4th exit. To make it simple stay in whatever lane you entered on and exit with that lane and if a traffic circle dose allow you to go around in the far right just exit in the far right lane it’s really simple
I hope they add this to the high school driver's education curriculum learning how to do roundabouts I'm sure our state might be smart and do it but then again you know Alabama roll tide I'm looking up how to drive it not to drive it and more than anything I want to see one in use with heavy traffic sort of equivalent to a highway intersection in a large town but this is in Anniston Alabama. Maybe a Canadian Brothers can teach us something I'm going to be looking for the fails though because I want to see how they screwed up. I know it's going to make me fear the damn thing more but once I relax I think it will help.
Thank you so much I’m getting my letters here in Alberta
Can't wait for self driving cars..
This and a multi lane roundabout takes the cake. Shittin bricks man
The paint is worn off on one near me, people drive in as straight a line as possible going through on one side, crossing between the two lanes as if there was only one. Can't say I recall anyone using turn signals at all. I won't drive anywhere remotely beside another car in it. One exit has a right turn exit right after it, making the 1/4 turn from the outside/right lane very inconvenient.
What about going all the way around? What are common mistakes when driving all the way around the circle?
little difference here when going straight on through a roundabout you don't signal left - when approaching you signal as if you approaching a normal intersection as if no circle,
left for left, right for right, NONE when going straight on as if there is no "roundabout" -
you signal left (but going straight) then person on the other road (to ya right) ALSO like to go straight is not surprised when they are not following you in your left turn
Never understood signaling when entering a roundabout, where I live you don't do it cause it litteraly makes no sense. Where else are you able to go? Why signal when you only have on option?
They're about to create around about in the busy intersection where a government installation is and it high volume employees, the intersection is always had a lot of accidents now I wonder if they're going to actually make it better or worse because I don't know anyone in Alabama that I've ever heard of using around about but I guess it's sort of like a square? Maybe yes no oh man yeah I don't know whether I want to drive it.
Clear as mud 😳
We only have single land Round Abouts where i am thank god. Makes things a lot simpler :)
Put two cars beside each other in the roundabout. Right lane car stays straight while the left lane car tries to turn off.
Which do you think should yield?
Outside lane is required to yield to inside lane. It really is simple if people are only using the right lane to turn right or go straight, then there is no collision point as long as people yield as they enter the circle.
@@chelseagriffiths377 Yeah that's what I thought too cause people still refuse to yield to me while I'm in the inside lane as I stay straight and take the second exit. I've had to honk at them numerous times
In Canada, does the law say you have to turn left at the entrance?
In Romania, the law only provides that the signaling of the change of direction is made 50m before the maneuver ... in a roundabout you rarely travel 100m. Then the entrance to a decentralized intersection should be signaled ...
In the present example, you say that you signal left at the entrance in the direction but in fact you turn right to bypass the marking!
However, by signaling to the left at the entrance, you imply that you are climbing in the center of the direction.
Well, in Spain (I don't know about the rest of Europe) this is not the way people drive in roundabouts. However, I personally think this is the only way in which roundabouts should be taken. Please, do us a favor and spread the word around here.
most important thing in traffic is:
"if you will getting inside the elevator, bus, or train.., make room for people that will going outside first."
it will save much of your time..
The loading circle fits PERFECTLY inside the circle in the middle of the roundabout
? What ?
1:46 What if the blue car on the left went center circle and tried to dxit straight ahead? Couldn't the green car cause a collision by crossing into their lane like that? Who yields in that case?
who ever behind
For safety and cultural reasons, it's time Ontario drivers used unambiguous Canadian language like "traffic circle" instead of innately ambiguous, and therefore unsafe, British and American terms like "Roundabout", which is contextual and has many meanings. Roundabout can mean a kids ride, a train or record turntable and many other things, therefore a source of uncertainty and confusion on the road. "Traffic circle" has one meaning, reducing uncertainty, confusion, and therefore road risks around traffic control devices.
Both roundabouts and traffic circles eliminate "stop" signs at entrances to avoid slowing down, and require that an incoming driver must yield to vehicles already in the circle, stay in her lane, and signal her departure from the circle.
Wouldn't it be better to have a solid line on the inside lane for leaving on the first exit so people know not to pass into the inside lane on exit?
The inside circle should be mostly solid except for exit points right this should be better fixed
It is strange to see signal to the left when entering the roundabout, because the do NOT turn left. Not familliar with that I whould think (s)he might relly turn left (wrong way) into roundabout or just doing an instant 180°
0:20. Where was the red car supposed to go? It was supposed to yield to the blue car but go in that center circle lane, right?
You're not supposed to take the first exit from the left lane
AMA: When can we see you, and other driver education companies... Be a mandatory requirement of drivers, regardless the driver license applicant?
If you go straight you dont use a blinker only when the next exit you take is straight you turn the blinks to the right.
Just seems like a terrible idea in general, imagine never having seen a two lane traffic circle before and approaching it on the "inside" lane, and being utterly confused about how to proceed to get into it, not to mention having wait on traffic from the outer circle to properly get to the inside circle that you are meant to be in. Not to mention the 'preferred' method is to signal to the inside lane ahead of the circle, which depending on traffic may not be possible unless you are already familiar with the area and if traffic isn't bad. I play Eurotruck Simulator 2 a lot, and this monstrosity is the bane of my existence in that game.
dubai license is make me crazy before two years i am behind the license this license is give me too much hurt
You've got too many models driving round & indicating - which one am i meant to look at ?? - it's totally confusing. When you refer to "Left Hand Lane" - is that looking from the top of the screen or the bottom or the left / right ??? Just show a single vehicle to demonstrate the correct procedure please.
Is this copyright free video??? Can i upload this on my channal
There are 2 roundabouts being built on roads that I use regularly and I’m terrified. This looks so complex and hard to wrap your head around. Not only that, but the roundabouts are being built next to 2 SCHOOLS. Do they honestly think that teenage drivers will be able to use these safely? It’s just asking for a wreck to happen. I’m not sure if the roundabouts are going to be one lane or 2 lane, ODOT just says their building 2 roundabouts. The existing intersection is already pretty bad, why make it worse?
@dumdum7786 Time to sell the car a buy a bus pass
I have two years until I start driving and this looks super simple but I live in California and the drivers suck so I’m also kinda terrified
lol . . . . I was a CA driver for 40 yrs . . . The one thing that causes the most traffic congestion on busy CA highways is that for some reason the CA driver does NOT like to yield to anyone for ANY reason. Yielding is crucial for a successful roundabout.
Complex, simpler might be best. However, good idea.
An excellent first performance. But there was one thing you missed. Did you see a problem?
Of course, for the entire duration of this instruction, there was a single-seat, twin-engine, supermaneuverable Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E air defense fighter
this is the easiest traffic system only a retard would get it wrong its called use the cross lane!
This is helpful. I'm so overwhelmed. I grew up in a country where women were not allowed to drive no matter what. So I never payed attention when anyone else drove, as I thought I wouldn't get the chance to drive. Now, I've moved countries and am getting overwhelmed by things which are common sense to teenagers here
na they ain't common sense. I didn't even know how to fasten my seatbelt before taking my first driving lesson. I didn't even know you were supposed to use specific lanes for turning left/right until I was like 15. I absolutely sucked at turning the steering wheel properly for the first half of my driving lessons. It seems incredibly hard at first, but it gets waaaaay easier after your first few hundred kilometres of driving alone.
I'm now a great driver. It's as if me and the car were the same entity, Jinba ittai type of crap, but I sucked hard at first. Don't sweat it. You prolly got your license already, so I wish you easy roads ahead and loads of confidence.
Roundabouts In Australia 🇦🇺 It Circulates Clockwise And The United States 🇺🇸 Counterclockwise
Australia as well all other Commonwelth countries are the ones who drive "in the wrong side", aren't them? The rest of the world drives in the right line of the road, so it is expected to circulate counterclockwise on roundabouts... :D
This should be constructed as a "turbo rotonde" (turbo roundabout). This explanation confuses me (and I am daily roundabout user (different types)). One question, what is the difference between a roundabout and a traffic circle.
Damnit. I was trying to read a comment but because of the stupid app of this on mobile through Facebook I ended up accidentally reported it and it disappeared. Now I can't unreport it nor read the helpful thing. X
