Obviously just trying to avoid that huge pond on a poorly drained roadway. Seems reasonable.
Would have been 1000x better if they just kept going.

Three just went in by my work and it's been a disaster. People either enter them at full speed and hit the people already in them or people stop while in them fucking everything up. Last summer I saw a dude on a motorcycle get killed by a retard who didn't know what to do (besides preform vehicular manslaughter)

Merging? I think people just.... think they can somehow get ahead by going all the way up to the end of the lane then inching their nose in causing the other lane to stop.... since they don't want to hit them. This is why I wish I could drive a monster truck, drive it right where 128 drops to 3 lanes by Route 9.... and just drive over those fucks.
Then there's folks that don't understand zipping. Merging is better when each car in the target lane leaves a car length of space between each car.... then the merging cars can each merge in.... like a zipper. Sometimes this happens, and shit goes smoothly, but all it takes is one dumb fuck (usually from Rhode Island) to decide to force his way in, causing everything to stop.
Rotaries? Most of them are fine, I dislike the one lane rotaries through (Like Rte 60 in Arlington/Medford).

Only if I get to see your carcass burst under the tires first. Wait... it would be more satisfying if you just got your spine broken, and had to live the rest of your life paralyzed from the neck down.

Most American drivers are incapable of intelligent thought, They require a light to tell them "GO!" or "STOP!" and even then, they stiff fuck it up. They're rude, impatient, self absorbed and highly distracted. Round-abouts here are total cluster fucks with people barging in and out of them, crossing over the lanes to get to the street the want, cutting others off...they fucking suck.

I can drive stick fine, but using the other foot makes my sciatic nerve ache something awful. I think I'd buy a bus pass.

You can get a doctor's note for an automatic transmission.
Ok I'm in.

Haha this exactly! Nobody in TN uses a blinker except the idiots who drive down the interstate with it on all the time. Usually some young girl using her phone while driving. It use to be old people who did that but even they know to turn it off now.

Not so good, I got one pregnant, and she went and told her husband about it, and now she's expecting to move in with me

I almost fell out of my chair laughing on this one, but only because it's gotta be complete BS.

I drive a delivery van 2-3 day's a week and so i'm on the road a lot, the larger roundabouts are a bloody nightmare.
I gotta regularly navigate 2 four laners with 4-5 set's of traffic lights on them and they both connect to the M4 motorway as well, nightmare is an understatement.
The number of airhead simpletons who tailgate, don't indicate, don't know what lane to go in (and they're clearly marked as well) or simply drive all the way round in the outside lane cutting up everyone on the inside, is dangerously high.
What's most crazy about the whole situation is it's probably the toughest it's ever been over here in the uk to pass your test and yet the standard of driving is the worse i've seen since i passed my test 25 years ago.
