British People Can't Drive . . .

the problem. could be roundabouts, i bet there's loads of those at the magic roundabout near craigtucker

This is the magic roundabout

We have roundabouts in Show Low. Nobody knows how to use them, and they're nothing as complex as THAT one is.

Sometimes they go around, sometimes they cut across, and once in awhile, the just park in the roundabout.

No, here is another view.

Why are they all driving on the wrong side of the road?


I was just reading this snippet of advice from lonelyplanet.com...

"(When in Australia...) Watch out for monstrous road trains (trucks with multiple trailers) on outback roads; naturally it's wise to give way to anything bigger than yourself."

Brilliant!

Wise words. Those monsters can come from nowhwre and
be up your ass at 140Km per hour. Some are full of live animals
including LIVE SHEEP. Yeah!

Driver - Sh#t is it this exit or the next one?

We need road trains out here.

Hmmm, I see andyp1 has struck again.

This is the magic roundabout

The magic round about looks like an ordinary cluster **** waiting to happen...but if you know what you are doing you'd be alright....I on the other hand would need an instruction booklet.

Yeah, and could we get a bunch of Swedish bikini team members riding on bicycles to demonstrate the proper roundabout technique?

now you're talkin

[rhegedus]

If you want to see some truely shocking driving, head over to Golders Green or Stanford Hill in London.

Apparently it's OK to double park and go into a shop just as long as you put your hazard lights on. Oh, and two cars stopping on a narrow street so that the drivers can have a chat is OK too - never mind about the queue of people behind you. And 'bump' parking has to be seen to be believed.

I'd swear that half the drivers don't even know what a license is, let alone have one.

[Hardcoreruss]

Some were born to drive, some were born to be driven.

I can't drive

[Doramius]

Yeah. There needs to be a lighted intersection instead of the magic roundabout. If they were to clean it up with a few lights, they'd save more space and be able to put in a decent size park, too.

This is a sign from that intersection.

I knew a guy when I visited the UK that had a 'Shock' camera in the front and in the back. THe one in front was just behind the grill and the one in back had a small hole in the tail light. They were positioned so if a car bumped his, they would take a picture of the license plate on a wide angle. He would always engage his E-Brake and have the stick stuck into first gear.
