Yep. Did you read mine about having an accident in a roundabout when we'd been in NH for less than a week? We hit the other car. Our fault, right? I thought so, but no. (That's how confusing the rules are.) It was the other driver's fault because she was speeding (per a witness we were lucky enough to have), in the outside lane and hadn't exited where she was required to.

------------

When I was going around and around, I sure did remember that! Speeding is a NO-NO, but getting caught in one of those circles is TOTALLY ABSURD. Those men would not let me in. I say "men" because it was commuter time, but just as many women work now as men. There is a special place to exit, and you are required to exit there?

I'm just glad I kept going around. I do not know the rules, either.

I don't wanna know the rules.

We have enough rules in this world.

Which reminds me: where is my ruler?

it's probably with my missing social security card.

did you take my RULEr, too, Mr. Hacker?

I still don't really understand the rules of roundabouts. I do know this: If there are two lanes, get to the inside lane ASAP and only leave it when your turnoff is the next one up.
