Rules of the "Roundabout"

I want to make my case on something. In the past and even as recent
as the other day, I have been told by my friends & girlfriend that
I have road rage. This I can't completely deny. I would say I'm
more of an offensive driver than a driver with road rage. But call
it what you like, but I have to say that I don't think the road
rage is the problem as much as the drivers that cause the road
rage in others.

I bring this up because I'm so tired of people whom refuse to learn
simple driving laws for basic driving. Now I don't claim to be
the best driver in the world, but come on people, ROUNDABOUTS are
not fucking heart surgery. As a matter of fact if a heart surgeon
went in to surgery and discovered something he/she didn't know, I'm sure
he/she would look the shit up after the first dumb-founded incident.

So for those people that don't know, let me break it down for you.
FIRST of all, NEVER STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROUNDABOUT. Let me repeat,
NEVER STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROUNDABOUT. If you actually think
about stopping in the middle of a roundabout and you don't say to yourself,
"yeah that is a pretty stupid thing to do", please pull you licence
out and burn it or better yet, throw away your keys. Now that the
most important part is out there, here are the other parts:
1. you drive up to the entrance.
2. you treat this entrance as a yield, NOT A STOP SIGN
3. you yield to your LEFT, not RIGHT (if no one is in the roundabout
that interferes with you entering it, then continue on, don't stop)
4. once you're in the roundabout, you drive until you want to
exit. (if you want to drive around it 18 times, you do it without
stopping)
5.if you are driving in the roundabout and someone is approaching
an entrance they stop, not you

It's that simple.

My thing is if you don't know how to drive, LEARN. Don't call me
an asshole or say I have road rage because you don't know how to
drive and you almost had me driving in to the ass end of you car
cuz you stopped in the middle of a roundabout. I'm not an asshole,
your the asshole cuz you are going to hurt yourself or someone
else because you refuse to learn how to drive. If someone is in
front of you at a traffic signal, the light turns green and they
don't go, you're going to honk. You will because the law states when
the light turns green go. Well news flash they didn't start making
roundabouts without making laws about them, so if myself or someone
that actually knows how to drive in them is behind you, don't get
pissed.
