I drove past the scene of the accident that morning, and there was heavy dew on the road. That roundabout is treacherous when wet, even though the surface has been scored. I see many people tempting fate there with excessive speed. Drivers should know this danger by now, but I guess some never learn.
Nothing is wrong with any round -abouts. you people need to remember your brain is in your head and not in your feet.
The brain tells the feet that it is too heavy and you should lift it up at times, so as not to speed like an idiot.
If the roads are wet then remember the lesson you learnt doing your driving test, slow down on wet roads and sharp curves.
The old folks say… ears hard, your ass will feel! slow down!!!!
Try using tires with tread. They work great. Why are there no tire laws here?
No surprise to me,I live at Lantern Point and have to deal with these speedsters on a regular basis.That slow down and give way sign should be a banner.NO ONE SLOWS DOWN AND NO ONE GIVES WAY.check it out RCIPS.
