The Fall Of Twitter (Bluesky lists ahoy)

There's a really good point made in there on roundabouts, and it being difficult to indicate while already turning.

Eg turning right on a round about meana entering it with the right indicator on, but then while in a right turn going round the roundabout you need to indicate left before exiting the roundabout.

So few people in Australia do this, it's infuriating. The Australian way to take a roundabout seems to be (1) come to a complete stop, (2) wait until you can't see any cars anywhere, (3) proceed without signalling.

Yes, yes you do.

I just checked the rules here, and it says "if practicable" indicate left when leaving the roundabout after a right turn. So that sounds more like a recommendation than a rule, which tracks because I don't think I've ever noticed anyone doing it lol.

Might be different in other states or countries though, of course.

Which country you at mola?

Ah, mad max country. There's a reason an Australian was the one to make movies about how violent cars are.

In UK you are supposed to indicate for whatever the turn off is on the roundabout. It also helps signal to people waiting for you that they can enter.

Re: Grimes. I only discovered today who Cyrus was, in an Economist article talking about the rise of ‘apostles’ in evangelical Christians in the US. A third of them think Trump was appointed by god to be their new leader.

Just once a week? I see one indicate left, one indicate right, another not indicate whatsoever, and they're all going the same way, pretty much every single day.

Yep, it's an indication they might be changing direction. Nothing more. The worst are bloody delivery moped riders who just seem to leave one on permanently.

Are we doing roundabout gripes? Because people that think they have right of way approaching a roundabout because the road they're on is somehow 'more important' really boil my piss. I was at the roundabout first, so I'm not giving way to you, so I guess you're going to have to wait your turn and stop leaning on your horn you cunt.

I don't. I'm, unsurprisingly, very bloody minded about that. Even if they are blocking the oncoming lane of traffic and theatrically waving their arms around, its still a cunts trick so you can wait there.

Teslas in the UK and I assume elsewhere will turn off the auto driving when approaching a roundabout, currently it's a requirement for the driver to have their hand on the wheel at all times in the UK so they then have to take over.

Roundabouts are gaining in popularity in the US but it's a slow process in a lot of places, considering how shit the auto driving on regular streets can be I'm not expecting they'll be able to handle roundabouts, which ever direction they go in, for a while.

There are quite a few big roundabouts when I travel to work and that includes a double lane main road. It's a bit of a lottery what indicators are showing when cars are going round these roundabouts. I always indicate left when leaving them but others will still be indicating right when they leave the roundabouts so you really do have to wait for the manoeuvre before going on to the roundabout.
