[QUOTE=JDK721v5;25705173]I don't think I've ever seen a roundabout here in Florida[/QUOTE]
IIRC there was a huge one in Tampa near the beach but they tore it down or something. Cost like millions and they tore it down.
There is a roundabout on campus where I go to college. I love driving unreasonably fast around it.
They are everywhere in Central cali.
Never seen a roundabout in my life. Daily fact.
I absolutely hate roundabouts. I don't want to drive an unnecessary turn which always results in most of the shit in my trunk flying to the right side. And i don't even go fast. All the shitty roundabouts here are too small i guess.

there's a huge 4lane roundabout near my old home in Miami Springs
I love magic roundabouts. Mainly because it's fun to watch the confused expressions of people not used to them.

Once you've been round a magic roundabout, they're not too bad.
I love my wagon.
That is all.

bucket or bench? i personally hate bench seats...
I never trust roundabouts
they give me an urge to drive in circles
Gah, got some scratches on my car today because some guy didnt check his rear view mirror when backing out of a spot, along with accelerating too fast. Didn't even have time to honk before he hit me.
Looks like I might be buying some gray paint to cover it up.

People in my city Can't even Handle the new Fucking traffic "pimples" they are installing (sticking a 2 foot circle in the middle of a 4-way stop doesn't count as a real traffic circle...). I'd love to see that.

Down the road from me, it's just dumb.
i'm FUCKING PISSED right now
Some asshole backed up into my front this morning fucking IDIOT LOOK BEHEIND YOU BEFORE YOU START BACKING UP..
Roundabouts and I don't get on...
One week after passing my test I was on a date with my now ex, it was the first date so I was trying to impress her with my car... 17 driving a Vauxhall Corsa, oh how I laugh at myself now. Doing 100mph down a dual carriageway I didn't know and rounded a bend only to be presented with a roundabout 20 feet away... I didn't even bother with the brakes :v:
Luckily I managed to avoid the sign posts and lamp post, went straight over the roundabout. Fortunatley because the kerbs were sloped instead of vertical the damage wasn't too bad, it was a grass roundabout too. 2 Front flats where the wheels had bent and the balljoints were fucked, £200 to repair. Could have been a lot worse, had I'd hit the sign I'd have been well and truley fucked! The tow truck driver said he pulls kids off that roundabout at least once a month.
To make matters worse my parents were on holiday and the time and had told me not to drive the car until they got back! Luckily I got it patched up in time for their return, I had to tell all the neighbours to keep it quiet as they'd seen me returning on the back of a tow truck :D

and this is why I never go over the speed limit by much on roads I don't know well :v:
