A cousin and I have been competing for years to see how many times around we can go before we either stymie another driver or get pulled over.
I'm currently winning at 43. Neither of us have ever been pulled over, it's always some irate grandma who refuses to enter even though I give her plenty of room.
A dew days ago ist saw an older Dude in a Bike, taking all the left turns in one of our roundabout. (Germany) I know that he rode for at least 3 hours. He wanted to reach 200 rounds, i think. Hope he made it.
in germany driving around pointlessly is illegal i think
I mean, it's Germany
It is, but you have to do something really abstract, like this meme, to not be able to come up with some excuse that nobody cares to verify.
I wonder if it came about in the times when fuel was very expensive. A German physio I used to go to, told me when he was a kid they would have car free Sunday. Everyone walked or biked and the roads were full of pedestrians, it certainly would have cut 1/7th of the fuel usage.
Leftists be like:
Roundabouts force you to turn Left! It's Political!!
I'm in the UK, they force you to turn right.
Well that explains the Liberal party
fwiw, I personally know for a fact that 15 to 20 minutes is fine. Ask me about other ironically bad first date ideas
Dont feel bad, my first date with my fiancée was at a grocery store
No way that's where I had my first prune
explanation? what is a prune?
A prune is a dried plum. And a date is the (often dried) fruit of the date palm tree.
This joke explanation brought to you by fiber. It's good for you!
I almost died on the toilet because of this comment.
How about other ironically bad first date ideas?
One of my personal faves: Told this girl in college that we were gonna go to a place called Donnie's steakhouse. She got somewhat dressed up for the occasion. Donnie's is just McDonalds. If they've got a good sense of humor (and she did), they'll get a good kick out of it. Although it may take a day or two.
I feel like if a cop came by a few times and saw you still going around they would probably pull you over just to see if you're having an episode or something, then probably tell you to go home. I think you'd only really get in trouble if you were a dick about it.
Imagine a lights and sirens pursuit around a roundabout.
I definitely think they could get you for endangering others, or something like that. I don't think it's explicitly illegal, but I'd be surprised if it isn't implicitly illegal.
If you confuse and distract other drivers, that's endangering traffic and police will remove you.
Driving? You're fine.
Drifting? You'll get yer peepee whacked.
Theres probably easier ways to get your peepee whacked...
For free???
In this economy???
Drifting it is
The first sentence was enough for me lol
I believe the UK has a law for this and it's 7 times.
There's no such law in the UK.
Norway here. I'm sure I've heard 7 somewhere too.
I don't think there's a specific rule but if you obstruct traffic unnecessarily you're breaking veitrafikkloven §3
"Everyone must travel with consideration and be alert and cautious so that no danger arises or damage is caused and so that other traffic is not unnecessarily obstructed or disturbed."
Where I grew up there was a russeknute for driving around the roundabout (there was only one) 20 times. Traffic was reasonably heavy during normal rush hours, but every May evening the obstructed traffic was other drives waiting for their turn to do their 20 laps.
As far as I know, nobody were ticketed.
Can you link the source?
American here, although I have no clue 7 sounds fine so we're calling it. Get on with it.

Too complicated for you.
Even the word roundabout is too complicated... My GPS refers to them as "traffic circles".
Now I wanted to know the answer.
What happens if a self driving car has a glitch and get stuck infinitely in an round about ?
Prob’ly towed. Self driving cars can’t recognize police. There are several videos of robotaxis horrifically malfunctioning and police can’t do much other than box them in and call the company to have them remotely shut off and towed.
You get stuck in vehicular purgatory.
Basically Nascar tbh
Despite what many people think/have heard, most places do not have a specific law against doing loops in a roundabout. And when they do it is often a local ordinace(mostly small towns trying to prevent a local car community from driving up and down the main street all night). Although other laws or regulations can apply depending on circumstances.
Things like impeding/obstructing traffic, careless/reckless driving, noise ordinance, etc. But if you're driving around one in an industrial area at night, the worst you'll get is probably some accusing questions and a "warning".
Look kids! Big Ben! Parliament!
I remember someone tested this. They lasted like eight hours until some neighbor called a cop
Snitches get stitches.
