Look kids! Big Ben! Parliament!
If you confuse and distract other drivers, that’s endangering traffic and police will remove you.
Basically Nascar tbh
Roundabouts force you to turn Left! It’s Political!!
I’m in the UK, they force you to turn right.
Well that explains the Liberal party
A cousin and I have been competing for years to see how many times around we can go before we either stymie another driver or get pulled over.
I’m currently winning at 43. Neither of us have ever been pulled over, it’s always some irate grandma who refuses to enter even though I give her plenty of room.
I believe the UK has a law for this and it’s 7 times.
Only 7!?
Norway here. I’m sure I’ve heard 7 somewhere too.
I don’t think there’s a specific rule but if you obstruct traffic unnecessarily you’re breaking veitrafikkloven §3
“Everyone must travel with consideration and be alert and cautious so that no danger arises or damage is caused and so that other traffic is not unnecessarily obstructed or disturbed.”
Where I grew up there was a russeknute for driving around the roundabout (there was only one) 20 times. Traffic was reasonably heavy during normal rush hours, but every May evening the obstructed traffic was other drives waiting for their turn to do their 20 laps.
As far as I know, nobody were ticketed.
There’s no such law in the UK.
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”.
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…

I remember someone tested this. They lasted like eight hours until some neighbor called a cop
Snitches get stitches.
in germany driving around pointlessly is illegal i think
It is, but you have to do something really abstract, like this meme, to not be able to come up with some excuse that nobody cares to verify.
I wonder if it came about in the times when fuel was very expensive. A German physio I used to go to, told me when he was a kid they would have car free Sunday. Everyone walked or biked and the roads were full of pedestrians, it certainly would have cut 1/7th of the fuel usage.
I mean, it’s Germany
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 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.
Imagine a lights and sirens pursuit around a roundabout.
I will, as long as I can imagine it set to the tune of Yakety Sax
I definitely think they could get you for endangering others, or something like that. I don’t think it’s explicitly illegal, but I’d be surprised if it isn’t implicitly illegal.
Driving? You’re fine.
Drifting? You’ll get yer peepee whacked.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Drifting it is
Theres probably easier ways to get your peepee whacked…
For free???
In this economy???
In my country it’s forbidden to drive in the roundabout for longer than necessary to reach the desired exit.
Time is the 4th dimension right? Could you argue that you are trying to react the location of the exit at a specific location in time, therefore you have to make extra circles to reach your exit.
A dew days ago ist saw an older Dude in a Bike, taking all the left turns in one of our roundabout. (Germany) I know that he rode for at least 3 hours. He wanted to reach 200 rounds, i think. Hope he made it.
