    If that is America I'm more surprised to see a roundabout, or 'traffic circle' as they are known locally :pac:

    The conversation at the end (after the same clip 5 times :P) " should I stop with him? (Passenger) no ℉uck him..."

    Great approach that.

    In my experience they seem to be signposted as Rotarys.

    Like the old person's club, or something.

    Couldn't make out the sign from Mr. Magoo in the van, did he show contrition or was that a feck off wave.

    It was a bit of both, I leant on the horn so it was "yeah I can't use a roundabout, But eff off and don't be bothering me about it"

    Mini roundabouts are often a nightmare. It's like people don't know what to do half the time. You have people yielding to the left right front and all sides and then those that just blow right through it.

    I figured that a failure to yield would be ok.
    But if it's going to start the usual ****e the mods can remove the video.

    The guy in the Corolla skipping the junction and breaking the red lights was quite strange. It was a bit like cop car driving but there were no blues or siren.

    I don't think he was predicting the first red light, it was just a coincidence it changed as he went.

    He went as if he was the only intelligent chap and all that who were waiting were fools. :D

    While playing a motorised version of Russian roulette, if the lights didn't change or a lorry came the other way....

    I had a guy do that on the quays in Cork by Patrick's Bridge in rush hour....blithely drove up the outside and made a fourth lane and then got a shock when the traffic came at him!

    I miss to see that. Had I stayed in cork city, I might have witnessed that. Unfortunately, I stay in county side. :)

    You crossed into the LH turning lane and went straight ahead, plus you crossed a solid white line in the process. Guards called. We should bring back the death penalty!! 😄

    The second clip seriously looked like an advertisement for a fun-fair, crap driving altogether, don't mind doing such things at 2am,but at what looks like rush hour, ridiculous.

    You could replace mini roundabouts with 4 way stops but the problem in this country is that nobody wants to wait their turn. Just the same as people barging into the roundabout when you are already on it. People would skip their turn at 4 way stops too.

    Sorry that was roundabout talk. I'll paddle myself as an act of contrition.
