The next state over makes you yield INSIDE the rotary. That is just stupid! Now you need to yield 3 or 4 times inside rather than once on the way in. Next, they come to my state and cut you off, and stop right in front of you waving the people into the rotary.

How stupid!

That is the wierdest thing I have ever seen!

I thought you all had to go the same direction in a round about?

Handle roundabouts and 4 way stops the same - when there are idiots, or anyone who hesitates because they dont have common sense or right of way rules - just go! Doesnt matter if it is your turn or not. Ever sit there and everyone is waiting for someone else to go? I did that only one time years ago - now I just go if there is even a hesitation. It helps that I drive a cheap, big crappy vehicle that might as well have painted on the side "I am less concerned about denting this peice of sh--t than you are about your ego boosting money pit, so get out of the way or get ready for some contact".

Same thing if I want to change lanes, put on my turn signal, and someone SPEEDS UP so that I cant come over. I am coming over anyway - either they are going to get out of my way or someone is going to get scratched. No one yet has taken me up on it. If someone wants to try - I drive the white van that has lic plates "mkmydy".

No - go ahead and go either direction!

N.B. Works best if someone else is driving.
I'm pretty sure goats crap a lot. Excessively. 😛

Seems sometimes I am coming to an intersection, and just about there. I see other cars, and they are waiting at the red light.

Well, just when I GET THERE IT TURNS RED! They get a green light, and cut me off! Why should I need to stop? I was almost there! I was just about to go through the intersection, but my light turned red, and their light turn ...[text shortened]... ALMOST to the intersection.

I wish there was something that could be done about this.

They're called roundabouts

An intersection is not a roundabout... also, from this thread:

I take it you are talking about the 4 way Stop Sign intersection that no one realizes the guy on your right who was there longer has the right of way.

You have any rotaries (round abouts)? My God, people are idiots!

So I ask, what is your point?
