I disagree with the police/firearm fireman/extinguisher analogy. Fireman come to actually put out the fire. Police just show up to help identify the bodies and take statements.

I’m driving Car D & yelling GO, YOU MORON! (or words to that effect with perhaps slightly more invective). I learned to drive roundabouts in England…on the other side of the road and the other side of the car. I truly doubt there is an actual intersection on the whole bleedin island. They’re ALL roundabouts; some are just a dot intge center of the pavement, some are double & triples. They’re brilliant from a traffic flow standpoint IF everyone has a clue how they actually work. (BTW, nice signal light, A$$hole!)

Roundabouts… LOL… Even the state of NEW JERSEY figured out they don't work there. They've been dropping them all over Florida. “It reduces traffic wherever we install them!”Yeah… because people take alternate routes in order to AVOID them.As conceived and designed, yes, they should work. Problem is, the engineers that do this never seem to take into account the AVERAGE ability / intellect / attention span / knowledge of RULES of people behind the wheel here in many US locations.Another example that frustrates me? ACCELERATION LANES. If you don't know that term, you don't know what it IS or how to USE it. In the name of all that is holy and good… PLEASE DO. 🙂 Rant over.The memes as always… best way to start the day.
