Caution: Driver doesn't give a poo
Suddenly, without warning, Tomes exclaimed (17-Feb-06 10:12 PM): engine overhaul They are very tough engines. I think I would pull the plugs and squirt some oil in the cylinders then hand turn it over at first. The battery likely needs... They're called roundabouts here in the UK, extremely common. When everybody knows the rules (car on the right has right of way, for instance) they actually work better than traffic lights to keep things flowing. Of course, this is the UK so that doesn't always work out either. I'm not sure how your NJ rotaries work, I know that the two traffic circles I used to go through in PA worked the same as roundabouts, just in reverse. I'm buttuming everybody moves the same way around the circle though (here it's clockwise, in the US counterclockwise)? Still don't like them. With the really big ones here, which can have more than four exits, it can be very confusing on just which lane you're supposed to be in. Here's the scariest one I know of:
Arc de Trioumphe, Paris. This is on a quiet morning. Imagine what this is like during rush hour! Our bus driver told us that most insurance companies won't ensure a car that gets in a wreck in this circle. Also, that buses have the right of way - hit a bus, and it's always *your* fault. There's an underpbutt for pedestrians. Can you imagine having to walk through that to get to the Arc? jmc
