There are 2 Roundabouts in my neighborhood and man it makes me laugh that 97% of everyone has no clue how they work.
I found this and am pretty sure it has changed how I will forever drive through mine. Game on stupid roundabout drivers!

So much win!
Only way it could be cooler is if Mad Max's Interceptor followed The General with Chewbacca at the wheel...

Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.

blaaaahahahahaha!!!! epic win. wish i could have been there for that one.
i love round abouts...i muscle my way in......yield sign, eh i'm there first , i'm going first...later sucka...
roundabouts/traffic circles are awesome....and they work great when people know how to drive....problem is that apparently no one around here knows how to drive....They are amazing traffic tools in Germany...then again there are like 1% of the amount of traffic accidents in Germany as there are in Denver and the surrounding areas soooooo yeah...maybe putting things that require you to think more than a stop sign in a place where thinking and driving is a felony is not a good idea.
So full of win
Roundabouts have the potential to save lives and speed up the overall flow of traffic compared to a traditional intersection.Originally Posted by Zenshu
Unfortunately, in a culture of poorly-trained and only half-aware drivers who're too busy texting and eating, it's not as ideal as it should be.

Best thing, however, is that if you find an empty one at 3am, then you can have a lot of Drift-O fun...
...not that I condone or even know about such things...
And I don't have a General Lee to really test it out...

There are some people on this forum that know what I like to do on the roundabout in Nederland.
Drag a knee in circles until you puke?

This is actually from the newer dukes of hazard movie.
This is real:

URS6 AVANT FTW!
Current bike: 2005.5 KTM 950 Adventure (63k miles)
Previous Bikes: 2010 KTM 690 Enduro R / 2009 BMW F800GS / 2010 Triumph Daytona / 2007 GSXR 750 / 2004 CRF450 Sumo / Yamaha Secca II
I don't drag knee but i go around it about 8 times until people start honking at me.
The dukes of hazard looking one looks like it was shot from a phone camera. Still real just might be a professional driving.
Damn! That was awesome!
Was stationed in the UK for over 3 years. Roundabouts are awesome. After getting back to to states and driving the few roundabouts in town I don't like them so much. Not so much the roundabout, but the drivers using them....
