The only way out is through.
This is exactly how I do it in Forza Horizon 4.
Wait until you see the magic roundabout in the UK. WTF were they even thinking!
Jesus fucking Christ, that looks like it should be the last map in an F-Zero game
You can actually just use the outside one to get to your destination. You don't have to use the smaller ones in the middle if you don't want to
Or close your eyes, slam down the accelerator and pray to whatever God that you follow to make it out the other side.
Not in that car. Maybe a lifted 4wd truck, because anyone who's a big enough tool to own one of them is stupid enough to drive into a solid obstruction.
I know this is memes but as a Brit, I’ll never understand how people are scared of, don’t understand, or don’t see that roundabouts are superior.
It takes a few goes in them during driving lessons and they get easier.
Everybody is gangsta until you need to exit from the innermost lane at Place Charles de Gaulle.
Dude I was in Paris once in a taxi (cab) going over that roundabout and let me tell you French people are insane. It was just road rage and every person for themselves.
During driving lessons.
Sure.
In the state I learned to drive in, they didn't exist. They weren't in the driver's manual. Nothing.
So there are generations of people who can't, or won't, figure out how they work, its a fucking nightmare.
Moved to another state recently. No problems here. In fact, driving here is a much less harrowing experience.
I read somewhere that in America to get your license, you take a 40 question quiz, that you can pass with up to 10 mistakes and the driving test usually consists of low speed driving and parking, no highways, no roundabouts.
Don't know how much of this is true, but that sounds too simple.
In Ontario / Canada it’s pretty much that. G1 - written test split between signs and road laws but you can only drive with another licensed driver of 5 years experience or more and can’t drive highways
G2 - driving test, low speed no highway. You do basic driving procedures (reverse, parallel, 3 point turn) I imagine doing a roundabout depends on where you live, but where I am they’re not close by so it’s not included.
G - same as above and then you boot down the highway for an exit.
TBH, passing is not hard in the slightest. And that’s improved from what used to be the 365 - you do a test get a license, drive for a year and do a road test after.
Yeah. If you're a minor you have to take Drivers Ed that requires a couple hours of driving with an instructor. If you're an adult, you can just take the written and driving test. I think I just drove around the block, and did a reverse parking test for my driving test. Depending on where you live, roundabouts are not common here. I don't think I saw one IRL until I was in my late 20s when I moved to a different state.
I had to some highway driving. But just a few hours.
That sounds wild. I imagine it varies by state and some will be easier than others.
In the UK you have a lot of lessons and practice getting used to driving the car and navigating traffic, as well as perform some manoeuvres; for instance a parallel park and bay parking. We practice the emergency stop, hill starts, and roundabouts and more.
Then you have the theory test where they ask questions about signs and road rules etc. many are common sense but people fail a lot.
Then you have hazard perception where you watch videos and click the hazards before they become a danger. This is harder as you have to click at the right points.
All in all it’s rather difficult to get driving and I am all for it as it means people on the roads can generally drive.
I’ve seen documentaries about UK drivers’ training. From what I’ve seen it involves sex with the instructors and the test administrators. And, as far as I can tell, only young women ever take drivers’ training.
Actually this is how I got my licence. For some reason they want to record it too. Tough day to be a dude I tell you.
Thats probably pretty accurate. I did have a class in High School where we drove on highways and what not. I am not sure it was a reauirement.
Its been almost 30 years since I got my loscence and I don't recall ever doing any renewal tests either besides the eye test where you look into the machine bolted to the counter.

A bit of info for anyone who doesn't know how to use a roundabout: it's just a one-way street that loops around on itself tightly. Seriously. That's it.
It can get slightly tricky when it has two lanes where only the right lane exits. The idea here is that you should merge into the right lane after the last exit before your exit, but so many people in my neighborhood don’t understand this.
I want to get off Mr Bone's Wild roundabout!

Guide to using a roundabout
- When approaching roundabout area, don't adjust your speed
- When approaching the entrance to the roundabout, close your eyes and hold your steering wheel tightly
- When entering the roundabout, let your vehicle be guided by barriers, curbs, railings and other vehicles
- Wait until your vehicle exits the roundabout
- After you exit the roundabout, open your eyes
- If your vehicle fails, stops or is severely damaged or unable to function any more .... blame everyone else for what just occurred.
I knew playing Burnout would have real life applications.
Avg american driver
Step 0: Get a monster truck.
Americans are seemingly already prepared
Some of the roundabouts in my town are subterranean and have a column of bedrock in the middle. Good luck with that.
