Welcome
Welcome to the Bad Driver Blog. Here you will read my incessant banter about bad drivers in my community. I can only speculate, due the fact that I haven't been everywhere else in the country that the town I reside in harbors some of the worst drivers in America. If you're reading this, please remember to check yourself before you wreck someone else. Enjoy!

Roundabouts
We were "fortunate" enough to have a roundabout constructed here in town this past summer. Problem is, most people struggle with the operation of such a device. The general idea is that you approach the roundabout slowly, about 20-25 mph, look left(I would say don't bother looking right but I have seen with my own eyes, "grandpa" driving BACKWARDS through the roundabout) for oncoming traffic, yield if there are vehicles coming, If nothing is coming, Don't stop as if you confused an upside down triangle for an octagon. There's not a stop sign in front of you! IT'S A YIELD. In case you slept through Driver's Ed, a yield sign indicates that a vehicle driver must prepare to stop if necessary to let a driver on another approach proceed (but has no need to stop if their way is clear). A driver who stops has yielded their right of way to another. In contrast, a stop sign always requires a complete stop. I know it's tough and if you are still having trouble figuring this out, Click HERE and read up!
