    Oh my lord. I wish I had as much room on the roundabout I go through several times a day as this one does. The only excuse is speed, this has nothing to do with roundabouts and everything to do with hauling arse.
    Go look at the roundabout on Google maps, there is even a truck going through it so it gives a very good depiction of how much room there is.

    I just through that roundabout last week, very spacious. Seems like speed was the issue.

    No question plenty of room....& lookin at pic....he made it thru circle and rolled as he was exiting
    But as the old saying goes....
    You can go round a curve too slow Forever
    You can only go too fast Once

    Whether a roundabout or a left turn, drivers like that are going to roll it anywhere.

    I drink a lot of milk. They definitely have their own flavor, just like coffee, tea, beer, or any other generically labeled product.
