Can you teach me this? I have roundabout anxiety.
Assuming right-hand side of road driving and right-hand (anti-clockwise) directionality of travel.
Corollary: never stop in a roundabout. Go around more than once if you have to, but don't stop.
I assume roundabouts in Australia and England and UK colonies that drive on the left, all instructions are direction-opposite.
Assuming left-hand side of road driving and left-hand (clockwise) directionality of travel.
Corollary: never stop in a roundabout. Go around more than once if you have to, but don't stop.
In step 1 it's feels like it's never clear and i don't know how long to wait.
It's like a stop sign entering a busy road. You stay stopped until it's clear. Never mind the impatient people behind you that probably don't know how to use a roundabout as well. People seem to think that you just enter the roundabout without stopping and people in the roundabout have to yield to them. The people in the roundabout have the right of way so they can get out of it and make room for more.
I did one yesterday!! There were only 3 other cars, but still, i did it!
Good job. Like anything, practice makes you better.
Good on you, friend.
Now, 2w later, have you done any more?
Also, what remains challenging?
I've been through that same one a couple of times. Feeling more confident pausing before i get in. Luckily there's rarely traffic there, so it's a good place to practice. Thanks for checking on me!
I always go and stop at the wrong time, i feel stuck, and then I'm like, "Look kids- Big Ben, Parliament..."
