You could probably go 5 or 6 times before a policeman would say “Come on Mr Biden, sir. The White House is this way.”
Bullshit cruising or loitering ordinances that should have never been passed would probably be the excuse cops use in many areas
I had an uncle who nearly tested this theory.
I hope he gets his license pulled soon.
In about 1968, my dad drove round the roundabout in front of Buckingham Palace so us kids could get a better gander at the palace.
We got pulled over by a Bobby on the third circuit, and I kid you not, his first question was ‘What’s going on here, then?’ We were told if we wanted a better look, we would have to park the car and walk - like everyone else. The answer to the question is 3.
Wow, y’all have had roundabouts since the 60’s? I didn’t see any in the US until like 2010.
And here I thought they were modern inventions
I wonder this like once a year
Also, advanced mode might be the cloverloop
Imma do this with my son, right now in 2024.
Thanks, now my weekend is fully booked.
Advanced for both you AND the cops!
Some cops do like sitting on exits to hide with their radar guns 😒 obviously better than sitting on the shoulder though. Imagine having kids at home and risking your life while already having a dangerous job. Pulling people over on the shoulder instead of taking them to the next exit is the worst.
Wait, is that still a thing? I’ve never seen cops with speed cameras outside of movies. It also seems quite overkill seeing there’s mobile speed cameras too these days. Around my city there’s like three that get moved every few days, alongside the many stationary speed cameras.
I’ve wanted to do a full 4 leaf clover before. But unfortunately the one my by house in college was just a 2 leaf on the northbound side. The southbound side was regular ramps.
I did take the two leaves in one go though. I was headed out and after I got on the first loop I realized I forgot something at home, so I stayed on and took the second loop to go back and pick it up.
I did two full loops once while I was learning to drive. I wasn’t confident enough to merge over without a lot more room than the people around me were willing to part with, so I just stayed in the lane, took the next ramp and cycled through.
Then it happened again.
Fortunately it was my dad and not like, an instructor who could grade me or something.
I’ve frequently reminded my teens that it’s no big deal to go around again, no big deal to miss a turn. A panic move at a missed turn is usually a bad idea.
— also, I recommended GPS even in familiar territory. Sure, you need to be able to get around without that dependency, but no matter where you are, GPS will almost instantly calculate an alternate, safe route. Don’t worry about missing that turn, let gps help
