The first sentence was enough for me lol
Roundabouts force you to turn Left! It's Political!!
I'm in the UK, they force you to turn right.
If you confuse and distract other drivers, that's endangering traffic and police will remove you.
I believe the UK has a law for this and it's 7 times.
There's no such law in the UK.
Norway here. I'm sure I've heard 7 somewhere too.
Can you link the source?
American here, although I have no clue 7 sounds fine so we're calling it. Get on with it.

Too complicated for you.
Even the word roundabout is too complicated... My GPS refers to them as "traffic circles".
Only 7!?
Look kids! Big Ben! Parliament!
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".
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.
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.
In my country it's forbidden to drive in the roundabout for longer than necessary to reach the desired exit.
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.
Driving? You're fine.
Drifting? You'll get yer peepee whacked.
Theres probably easier ways to get your peepee whacked...
For free???
Drifting it is
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
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 ?
You get stuck in vehicular purgatory.
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.
Basically Nascar tbh
I remember someone tested this. They lasted like eight hours until some neighbor called a cop
Snitches get stitches.
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.
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.
What!? I think I've done a loop at least once when missing the exit (to catch it properly in the second attempt).
Making a full loop is called a U-Turn and they are absolutely permitted.
That's a half loop
Yeah, I think they were thinking of a barrel-roll.
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.
I don’t remember where but I remember seeing a youtube video where someone did this but didn’t call attention to it
Like they were driving in a roundabout and just kept going around and around, then a jump cut to when they finally exited but like it was clearly much later because the sun was down. They had to have been in it for at least a half hour or so
I'm not entirely sure here, but I think, I saw something about useless driving around as a law around here
Which would fall into this ground, I guess...
