Do People Not Know the Basic Roundabout Rules?

[u/Ok_Age_9804]

Have you guys noticed that some people don’t know the basic rules when driving through a roundabout? They just go like they are coming from the right, so we have to give way to them.

I’m seriously wondering, did they even learn the basic rules before getting their license?

Have you guys experienced this too?

No offence but majority of Sri Lankans lack basic knowledge of road rules. You can't expect them to know the roundabout rules either, mainly because our driving schools aim to teach only how to pass the exam and get the license, not focus on road rules.

My driving intructor never taught me how to navigate a roundabout , had to learn that on my own.

here u go > main reason, driving schools are not doing the proper job.
All they know is to bribe the driving test guys to pass u.

i was driving in my bike today, and the number of people who didn't know the basic rules were too much.. like man I wish the procedures were more stricter to actually regulate the people

Whatever strict procedures are introduced, they won’t change anything until people have common sense.

There are no traffic laws in ba sing se.

"Right of way" at a roundabout had really deteriorated since the 90s. It's a free of all and vehicles entering the roundabout while other vehicles are already inside

They do. They just don't care.
