🇬🇧BRIT Reacts To IDIOTS IN CARS - PART 12!

[@Seven50ml]

When I first started driving my pop told me "be aware of everyone around, think of the dumbest thing they can do and be prepared to react" That bit of advice has saved me from countless accidents

[@kabirconsiders]

Great advice!

[@mage1439]

People will surprise you with the dumb things they can do that you might never think of. I get more scared to be on the road all the time.

[@Seven50ml]

@@mage1439 good point. I stopped driving almost ten years ago. I just bike and uber when needed. No regrets

[@Traci2000]

My dad taught me the same! Saved me tons of accidents.

[@JudesChan]

Yep, defensive driving!

[@YetiUprising]

I've been driving around the Chicago suburbs recently and have noticed we do have some places with roundabouts and they are FAR better than traffic lights. Having never used one before, it was very simple to pick up how it works on the fly and haven't yet seen any problems that you normally get during lights like accidents or pissed off people honking. EDIT: granted my sample size will be tiny.

[@SUPRAMIKE18]

There's a joke that no matter how old it is BMWs turn signal stalks are in great condition because they are never touched xD

[@charliefyb]

Yess it’s here as well , thought it was just us that in the US bmw drivers suck at driving lmaoo

[@therealluigi]

I don't know about other peoples areas in the U.S. but in out area, everywhere there is a Roundabout, there is always somebody who drives the opposite way around it causing accidents or very close calls. It would definitely not be a good idea in our area.

[@danielm6049]

I'd rather keep the intersections. My reasoning is that roundabouts really need to be a certain size to work correctly. There are three roundabouts that were put in over the last couple of years in my area, two are larger and work ok. However one is small and it's a nightmare to go through because there is barely enough space for my Miata to fit, let alone a larger vehicle like my full size pickup. Then of course there are the people who just barge out in front of you or just don't know how to use a roundabout.

[@earlblackman7001]

In my city town there are accidents in round a bout than traffic lights . In the U S it is cheaper to get your car wrap like that than having a paint job . Car wrap is easy to peel off and easy to on a different color design .

[@kabirconsiders]

I think a lot of people don’t understand roundabouts, I think they’re safer than intersections

[@danbaker300]

@@kabirconsiders In the US, accident rates tend to go *up* slightly when roundabouts are first put in (they may come down later as people get more familiar with them, not sure). The big advantage they tend to have is that the accidents that do happen, happen at slower speeds. So even if the number of crashes goes up, the number of injuries and deaths from crashes drops sharply.

[@Nope991]

@@kabirconsiders Yes that's exactly the reason. People in the US tend to fear change. And for roundabouts this is especially true. People are just dumber than the roundabout itself. They have fear of it and don't wanna take the step tp understanding roundabounts. Seems like roundabounts are too smart for people. There is one small roundabount near where I live. So they do exist here but few.

[@ESUSAMEX]

Roundabouts are more dangerous than intersections. People refuse to slow down in roundabouts, while intersections have lights which dictate who goes when.

[@jusblazed1ful]

like the old saying goes...the difference between BMW's and Rose bushes is, Rose bushes have the pricks on the outside.

Did you know that after the 1st Fast & Furious movie, they had to put out a disclaimer on the movie because idiots were trying to drive under 18 wheeler trucks? The disclaimer has been on every F&F since then. I think the biggest problem with roundabouts is there's not enough sineage for us to know what to do, I mean, make a few commercials about then for Heaven's sake. Plus, they're placed in areas that don't have heavy traffic anyhow.

[@justplayin7799]

I would love to see roundabouts totally outlawed. We call them suicide circles. People rarely yield entering, crash trying to go straight across, drive at high speeds around them and often go the the wrong direction. Give me a traffic signal any day, at least I have something to idea what the other drivers might do.

Crazy stuff right?

[@TracyII77]

Not every intersection can be built with a roundabout, especially with existing infrastructure compared to types of traffic. That being said but they are gaining in popularity here in the US and they definitely have their place. Here in Michigan, we have what are called "Michigan Lefts" for many of our divided roads. They operate with the same premise as a roundabout but using regular lights. In a Michigan Left, those who want to turn left or perform a U-Turn cross the intersection with the rest of the nonturning traffic. A little distance afterwards, the left lane becomes a U-Turn in the opposite direction. After completing the U-Turn, you switch to the right lane and turn right at the intersection. Like a roundabout, you are never driving across oncoming traffic. And yes, some intersections will have you turn right first and then make you complete the U-Turn. Newer construction in Michigan is favoring roundabouts, but Michigan Lefts can be better when dealing with a lot of semis mixed in with cars. Another construction gaining popularity are diverging diamonds. A good example for these are at intersections coinciding with highway on and off ramps in which you have a particularly large amount of traffic turning left. These are also useful where the intersection can be lengthened along the highway but not as much cross wise.

[@andie361]

The teacher I had for drivers ed always used to say that you don’t have the right away unless it’s given to you. So many of these accidents are avoidable but people are too set on proving a point that they have the right of way. Might not make them guilty by law, but it makes them just as big of an idiot. Round abouts don’t go over too well here in the US, lol.

[@darcydoll437]

They confuse Google maps too. The directions I've had were just about..."good luck". Without actually saying it of course. He he he...

[@edwardbrady1698]

Round abouts seem to cause more crashes here. Maybe because we drive on the opposite side. Don't have a clear answer, I just know they put one near me to help at a bad intersection and made it worse.

[@J0eC00L24]

Yeah BMW drivers are memed a lot here in the US for never signaling, cutting people off, etc. lmao

[@ClaireRader]

I do like the roundabouts that we have in our area. I don't know how they would work in a busy intersection. But I kind of wish that the intersection outside of my house had a roundabout instead of a light. They've decided that adding a turn arrow on that intersection is too expensive but during the school year you might end up sitting in the turn lane for three or four turns because the road isn't ever clear enough for you to turn. I definitely think that if adding an Arrow light is too expensive then they should try at around about there. I don't know. Maybe it's more money to maintain aroundabout than I'm thinking.

[@rodneysisco6364]

Stopping at a red light and going on a green light is very simple also . The same assholes who run red lights would also not give way in a traffic circle .

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

8:22 - I think I know what happened here. The driver in back was looking over his shoulder for oncoming traffic and assumed the driver in front had already gone. I've seen this happen in person a couple of times.

[@jamiesucie2685]

North Americans cannot handle roundabouts or as we call them, traffic circles. The amount of accidents on them has pretty much eliminated them from being built with some being demolished

[@jusblazed1ful]

I live in New England, and we have plenty of rotaries (as we call them) I use them almost daily and have never been in an accident. I think we are to willing to give people a drivers license just because they pass a driving test that only takes you a couple miles.

I live in SoCal and BMW's are bad but Mercedes-Benz are just as bad. They are everywhere around here, and it is common for them to act like they own the road.

I live in Orange County and we have a roundabout near here. We just abuse it and just go in circles for a while. But in my hometown theres shady stuff where they put useless roundabouts in small streets. Someones pocketing money right there.

[@darcydoll437]

Every time these videos give my secondhand driving trauma. And I'm not even behind the wheel. Lol. Being in the States I would much rather have intersections. A good deal of folks can't figure out properly getting onto a freeway, or when it is safe to pass. Those same folks are nightmares in a roundabout too. 😂

I’m an American that has loved roundabouts since experiencing them a couple decades ago in the UK and am happy they’re becoming more popular here. There are a lot of people frustrated with the change as they don’t have experience with them and find them confusing, but I think that will change with time as more people will have seen them before. They’re not hard to understand once you’ve used a few.

Wasn't the Zonda decommissioned years ago? We have roundabouts but people cant use them, especially 2 lane. The town I live in now keeps putting them in because if they add one more stop light they will go from a town to a city and that changes taxes.

[@Sherlock4Sure]

I hate roundabouts. We yield to oncoming traffic from the left. Idiot drivers just disregard the rules and laws no matter what the circumstances are. I'd rather have a red light/green light situation than the ambiguity of who was supposed to wait for which car and switching lanes at the last second because they don't know which road they are getting off on in roundabouts, especially when there are several traffic circles in a row.

[@reptilesrodents]

I agree most people shouldn't be driving anymore. I think they should put an age limit on driving. In the US it seems to be a large influx of old people running into buildings.

A lot of these cars are probably going to be write-offs.. due to the fact depending on how old are even how new your vehicle is it's finding replacement parts there's still a shortage in insurance companies lately have been writing off. Lots of stuff I buy crashed vehicles from auctions to repair and resale sometimes I have to buy multiple vehicles of the same type as a donor vehicle to get parts depending on where the vehicle is crashed

[@TwinMama-jv3zb]

A huge reason I'm glad I moved out of a big city and to a small town! Almost everyone driving where I live now, drive like they are out for a chill Sunday stroll. There is 1 roundabout I know of in the big city I moved from and there are accidents there ALL the time because nobody knows what to do. It's really pretty sad to know there are so many people driving who should NOT be allowed to. If you thought merging in these videos was bad, you would hate to see people trying to figure out a roundabout when they aren't comfortable with it and also have no idea how it works.

[@Dweebix]

2:27 Those people across from the camera were going right... and the person with the dash camera was going left... However.. Due to the cars in the middle of the intersection the traffic across from the dash cam car could not see the vehicle turning.. and the vehicle with the dash cam had next to no room to make that turn anyways due to traffic in the middle being backed up...

[@jaycooper2812]

In the United States you give way to the left on a roundabout. This confuses the idiot's because at stop signs and intersections the person to the fight has right of wat where it is the opposite at tne roundabout. We have more collisions at roundabouts because people still treat them as if it were a regular intersection. There is even a section in drivers manuals that states that the right of way is different on a roundabout and 97 percent of the people mis this question on the test. On most drivers tests you pass with a score of 90% or higher and missing this question on a 50 question test will result in a score of 98 meaning that you still pass.

[@MrTJPAS]

This is why I think a lot of people are moving to bigger cars, trucks, and SUVs, because you can drive completely normal and still be hit by an idiot driver, and when that happens you will want to be in as big of a vehicle as you can to protect yourself.

Instead of roundabouts we have spent our money elsewhere. Our President decided to add charging stations (approximately 1 trillion dollars) for EV vehicles ( 6 million plus EV vehicles vs 275 million gas powered in US) on our US Interstates. Maybe once this flops we can see the cost of running all these traffic lights and the cost of all the wrecks these cause to offset the over costs. But, I’m for it as we have some in Vegas and they work. Thanks for all you do!

[@kazeryu17]

As an American, I prefer roundabouts, and wish many of the slow a$$ traffic lights in my city were roundabouts instead. The only problem is that many drivers seem to have gotten there license out of a cereal box, and they freeze up when they get to the yeald sign, despite there being absolutely no cross traffic. It makes me wonder if these idiots stop on the acceleration lane getting on the interstate, considering it has the exact same yeild sign.

You don’t see as many roundabouts in the US because it takes up too much land to build. Their land is usually private property and the owners don’t want to sell it so you have to use public domain laws to just take it from them that is politically not a good idea.

I'm my experience and reading about others, Americans either can't handle roundabouts or just don't like them. A town I used to live in placed one as an experiment, and people hated it so much it was written about in the newspaper. My current hometown, on the other hand, had had a roundabout for well over 30 years, and I still come across people who don't understand right of way, yielding, etc. The fact of the matter is the US is a selfish society and any system that relies on allowing someone else to go first, like roundabouts, is doomed to fail.
