F. The more fundamental problem is that these are all cars, not bikes. Fuck cars.
Those small green pissing pyramids are blocking the road.
AmeriKan drivers and traffic circles equates to an inefficient cluster fuck. When departing the circle, use your damn turn signal so I can enter!!!
As the circle enlarges, the system approaches four T-intersections. What I want to know is: at what size circle to people lose their minds and become unable to comprehend how T-intersections work.
Fair play to people confused about multi-lane roundabouts though.
When I have a Car D behind me, it's because they overestimate my car's acceleration capabilities.
Wheres the fighter jet?
E. Pink car turned turn signal on before entering the circle, keeps turn signal on all the way around the circle, thus invalidating any method of informing other drivers of which exit they intend to use. Car E deserves rapid unplanned orthodontics.
Signals are helpful indicators, but I rarely commit until I see someone's front wheel change direction.
You're probably already watching people's wheels without realising. It's the first real tell.
ITT: People road raging over imaginary traffic.
Drivers seem to love complaining about drivers
Alternative scenario: C starts entering, A decides to FUCKING FLOOR IT, slams into C
Not everybody is cut out to drive (i.e. to operate dangerous heavy machinery in a fast-changing environment with others depending on you handling the situation correctly). The problem is when we structure our societies requiring everyone to do so to participate.
requiring everyone to do so to participate.
Bus, taxi, bike, walk, whatever.
I vehemently disagree that everyone has a 'right' to have a license, as so many argue.
That infrastructure is majorly lacking if you live in the US.
I'm always D
etermined to keep my head up high, but it gets hard when I’m deep in a

I am car C. I don't care if car D is pissed at me, because I have autism and driving is overwhelming for me. I'm being extra cautious because it takes me longer to process sensory input because I can't filter out the irrelevant things. Plus, I always make sure to check the crosswalks. I as a pedestrian have come very close to being hit while crossing multiple times and it seems most other drivers don't give a shit about pedestrians at all.
Seriusly, if you cant filter information or you are not able to react to your surroundings please dont drive. Half a second of reaction time more is a lot when you are driving a 2 ton car with 100kmh around... that si rhe reason drunk driving is not allowed or driving while high...
I live in freedumb land so cars are the only reliable option. I'd love to use public transit, but doing so would require me to at least drive to a park and ride, and the bus system where I live is unreliable. I'd love to immigrate to a country that isn't car brained, but I don't have the resources.
I mean, nothing here is wrong but I have rarely had C being my primary issue when dealing with roundabouts. Idiots randomly entering the circle with no regard to other cars, THAT I've encountered quite frequently...
Biggest problem I encounter is people failing to signal their exit
So I end up being C because I yield to a bunch of bozos who didn’t communicate they were’t going to come my way
Ah yes, car E driven by Leeeerrroooooyyyy Jenkins
Watching the shadow of the car, it takes out the top of a tree
San Francisco Rush shortcut.
To the moooooooooooon
C is yielding to a pedestrian, but carbrain D cannot fathom yielding to anything smaller than their car.
There's no pedestrian in the image.
Cars are bad enough as it is that we don't have to imagine more problems with them.
