I feel like if a cop came by a few times and saw you still going around they would probably pull you over just to see if you’re having an episode or something, then probably tell you to go home. I think you’d only really get in trouble if you were a dick about it.
Imagine a lights and sirens pursuit around a roundabout.
I will, as long as I can imagine it set to the tune of Yakety Sax
I definitely think they could get you for endangering others, or something like that. I don’t think it’s explicitly illegal, but I’d be surprised if it isn’t implicitly illegal.
fwiw, I personally know for a fact that 15 to 20 minutes is fine. Ask me about other ironically bad first date ideas
Dont feel bad, my first date with my fiancée was at a grocery store
No way that’s where I had my first prune
I almost died on the toilet because of this comment.
explanation? what is a prune?
A prune is a dried plum. And a date is the (often dried) fruit of the date palm tree.
This joke explanation brought to you by fiber. It’s good for you!
How about other ironically bad first date ideas?
One of my personal faves: Told this girl in college that we were gonna go to a place called Donnie’s steakhouse. She got somewhat dressed up for the occasion. Donnie’s is just McDonalds. If they’ve got a good sense of humor (and she did), they’ll get a good kick out of it. Although it may take a day or two.
Driving? You’re fine.
Drifting? You’ll get yer peepee whacked.
Drifting it is
Theres probably easier ways to get your peepee whacked…
For free???
In this economy???
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Leftists be like:
Roundabouts force you to turn Left! It’s Political!!
I’m in the UK, they force you to turn right.
Well that explains the Liberal party
Now I wanted to know the answer.
What happens if a self driving car has a glitch and get stuck infinitely in an round about ?
Prob’ly towed. Self driving cars can’t recognize police. There are several videos of robotaxis horrifically malfunctioning and police can’t do much other than box them in and call the company to have them remotely shut off and towed.
Merry go around
They should program a timer set to the tune of a nice, friendly song that will gently remind the driver to exit the circle in time.
You get stuck in vehicular purgatory.
Basically Nascar tbh
If you confuse and distract other drivers, that’s endangering traffic and police will remove you.
in germany driving around pointlessly is illegal i think
I mean, it’s Germany
It is, but you have to do something really abstract, like this meme, to not be able to come up with some excuse that nobody cares to verify.
I wonder if it came about in the times when fuel was very expensive. A German physio I used to go to, told me when he was a kid they would have car free Sunday. Everyone walked or biked and the roads were full of pedestrians, it certainly would have cut 1/7th of the fuel usage.
I believe the UK has a law for this and it’s 7 times.
Norway here. I’m sure I’ve heard 7 somewhere too.
I don’t think there’s a specific rule but if you obstruct traffic unnecessarily you’re breaking veitrafikkloven §3
“Everyone must travel with consideration and be alert and cautious so that no danger arises or damage is caused and so that other traffic is not unnecessarily obstructed or disturbed.”
Where I grew up there was a russeknute for driving around the roundabout (there was only one) 20 times. Traffic was reasonably heavy during normal rush hours, but every May evening the obstructed traffic was other drives waiting for their turn to do their 20 laps.
As far as I know, nobody were ticketed.
There’s no such law in the UK.
Can you link the source?
American here, although I have no clue 7 sounds fine so we’re calling it. Get on with it.
American here
Too complicated for you.
Even the word roundabout is too complicated… My GPS refers to them as “traffic circles”.
Only 7!?
I remember someone tested this. They lasted like eight hours until some neighbor called a cop
Snitches get stitches.
Despite what many people think/have heard, most places do not have a specific law against doing loops in a roundabout. And when they do it is often a local ordinace(mostly small towns trying to prevent a local car community from driving up and down the main street all night). Although other laws or regulations can apply depending on circumstances.
Things like impeding/obstructing traffic, careless/reckless driving, noise ordinance, etc. But if you’re driving around one in an industrial area at night, the worst you’ll get is probably some accusing questions and a “warning”.
Look kids! Big Ben! Parliament!
The first sentence was enough for me lol
My understanding is you’re not allowed to make a full loop unless it’s unsafe to proceed.
Edit: sorry seems I was ambiguous. Meant going fully around and continue around.
What!? I think I’ve done a loop at least once when missing the exit (to catch it properly in the second attempt).
Where on earth did you hear this?
It’s happened to me more than once that I missed my exit on an unfamiliar roundabout, and what you do is you keep going around and exit through the right exit in the next loop.
It’s embarrassing, but perfectly legal.
Just make sure you pull to the left/inner lane (if there are multiple lanes in the roundabout), and move to the outer lane only when your exit is coming up. A pox on people who keep to the outer lane when they’re not taking the exit.
Making a full loop is called a U-Turn and they are absolutely permitted.
That’s a half loop
If you enter at 6 o’clock and exit again at 6 o’clock, you have travelled 360° which is a full loop.
Since you don’t go into the same lane you came from, it could be considered a horseshoe shape.
They went to school in the Midwest, don’t be too harsh on them.
Two lefts don’t make a right… but three do
Yeah, I think they were thinking of a barrel-roll.
