When in France, I used to wonder how the traffic goes around the Arc de Triomph with multi lanes and no accidents. A Frenchman told me that you only need to be aware of your nearside wing (driving on the right) and not worry about the rest of the car as others are already watching that. I drove around Paris while working there and it works!

All of you going around the roundabout on the Pala-u Rd will have noticed the yellow markings in the middle..wtf they are there for is beyond me BUT...
...Anyone doing a visa run to PNR will come to a village where you turn right at a roundabout...BUT..the very same yellow markings are spaced a tad wider apart...the new village 'Traffic Circle' has become the new shoppers car-park.. :shock:
It's true..cars & pickups stop when they see a space whilst circum-navigating the roundabout, then promptly back into it..& once parked up all thru' traffic passes by the front of their vehicles without any drama..the shops are all within 50/60 yds away..happy days..(from above this must look like a flower).. :idea: :thumb:

That's a really crazy junction. Where is that?
When I posted it I mistakenly thought it was in Worcester, England; but turns out it's in "New" England. It's in Worcester, Massachusetts. :oops:
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

The ultimate series of U- Turns seem to have been made by Trump on abortion over the weekend - still he is a facinating contender for the Presidency.
