A simple driving quiz you can all take...

In America we don't have nearly as many roundabouts as you guys have. Personally I prefer 4-Way Stops to roundabouts anyway...

Round abouts are cool, except nobody in my home town understands how they work, so they scare the crap out of me. I've almost been hit countless times because people don't get that the person in the circle has the right of way. But, that said, if people know what they're doing, I like roundabouts.

The squirrel has right of way, because there are new laws preventing freak incidents such as this, as into letting the squirrel first, and then the car closest to Echoman goes next, because Echoman is cool. :)
Sneaky sneaks. I'm actually a werewolf. Woof.

IF you notice carefully, the squirrel is carrying a light grenade launcher. THe squirrel will likely find the closest target, which is car A. If you proceed to continue before Car A, you would have been blown away. Therefore, allow car A to continue, so long as there is a squirrel. Otherwise, just make sure to go before he can pay attention so as to ensure that Car A takes all the blame, since you have the right of way.

Americans have a natural blockage in their brains when it comes to roundabouts. I've seen Americans come down here and totally freak out at every roundabout they see. It's weird.

Roundabouts are good cos there is simply one rule: give way on the right. You dont have to worry about signs or changing lights or anything else, just remember when to give way.

The reason Americans freak out over roundabouts is because they're very rare here. I've never seen one actually. By the same token, an African bush man would freak out at a stop light.

Yeah.

Mini-roundabouts are awesome, they're just like 4-way junctions but you know exactly what the priority system is, you don't even have to go round, you can go over the middle if you like.

My driver's ed teacher stressed that point almost every day. No one GETS the right; the other person should yield.


There is no right-a-way.

Just like there is no spoon.

On an unrelated note, I have a friend whom's car looks like the car off Back to the future.
