Oh no!

Ah roundabouts, something Americans are somehow completely unable to grasp.

What about filters? It would seem anyone that isn't from the channel islands thinks that it means "Just drive through"

*cue jokes about channel islands not inventing roads yet*

[TheDR]

D!

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

That's a no-go.

It's short for filter-in-turn. It's a fairly simple concept, that no-one seems to be able to crasp.

A simple example would be the road by my house. There is 2-way main road, with a 1-way road linking up to it. 1 person goes from the 1-way road, and then 1 person from each side of the 2-way road, and then 1 person from the 1-way road, etc.

It does start to get a bit more complicated when it's a cross-roads (and there aren't any 1-way roads), but it isn't that difficult to get to grips with.

[cccdfern]

[TheDR]

Oh im sorry was there a fucking arrow painted in the left lane saying you can turn right from it that i missed?
Fucking poms!

Like you weren't speeding at the time anyway....

Speed limits are merely suggestions in Australia anyway, they haven't invented laws yet there .

To be fair though, that guy was driving almost as badly as an average BMW driver, what a cockhead .

You can see the speed read out on screen and a speed sigh is shown in that video so suck on that one Wiz!

It sounds like a really bad implementation of a roundabout.

Park it there.

It's nothing like a roundabout. Roundabouts you give-way to the right, no matter what (or presumably to the left, when you drive on the right?). Filters, you take turns. If anything, it's more like traffic lights, execept instead of a handful of cars going through from each road, only 1 goes each time.

[Alias]

Looks pretty pointless to me, but at least it isn't as stupid as a 4-way stop.

It just seems to be a roundabout where you go one by one, which really doesn't work anywhere where there is actual traffic (read: not Guernsey).

So it requires to live in a country where people would be civilized enough to respect the 1 vehicle limit, OR an island that only has 2 cars anyway
