Just watching the news and some nobba crashed into a car because he drove around a round-about THE WRONG WAY! FFS! They all go the same way!
And the worst of it was when they interviewed a police officer who told us to:
Drive to the conditions.
Keep within the speed limits.
Don't drink or drug drive.
Slow down and not be in a hurry.
Da fark does any of those have to do with DRIVING THE WRONG WAY AROUND THE ROUND-ABOUT!!!!!??
When I lived in Cairns saw plenty of tourists tackle roundabouts the wrong way
I hope this makes sense, the black line is how your meant to go around the roundabout coming of a a train track over-bridge to access the street that runs parallel with the track, the red line is how people try and access the the street, and I have not yet seen a person make it in one go :) There is a sign before you enter the roundabout explaining this but obviously no one can read, I travel past that round about daily and amazed at how many times I see it happening.

Attachment 38467[/That's a dumb arsed roundabout Toddie. Whoever came up with that design needs a forkn bullet
Think all that builds roads in general needs a bullet, but yes this is really stupid, the amount of times I have come over the track entered the roundabout with my indicator on, gotten around only 2 have 2 slam on my brakes when another car has come over the track and doesn't give way to me trying to exit into that side street!Quote:

Absolute pita to get across at the best of times, and then throw in the mix of stupidity and carelessness of some drivers and it's enough to drive you mental. I hate it so much that I do't mind driving an extra distance just to by-pass it and most times I've home quicker.
For a REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLL bad roundabout google dequetiville tce now this is a doozy
I used to work at Kent Town and went through it every day, you had to drive in with confidence but too many drivers were too scared to enter without a big gap.Quote:
