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.”
Only 7!?
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”.
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.
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.
Imagine a lights and sirens pursuit around a roundabout.
I will, as long as I can imagine it set to the tune of Yakety Sax
If you confuse and distract other drivers, that’s endangering traffic and police will remove you.
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
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.
I mean, it’s Germany
My understanding is you’re not allowed to make a full loop unless it’s unsafe to proceed.
Where on earth did you hear this?
It’s happened to me more than once that I missed my exit on an unfamiliar roundabout, and what you do is you keep going around and exit through the right exit in the next loop.
It’s embarrassing, but perfectly legal.
Just make sure you pull to the left/inner lane (if there are multiple lanes in the roundabout), and move to the outer lane only when your exit is coming up. A pox on people who keep to the outer lane when they’re not taking the exit.
What!? I think I’ve done a loop at least once when missing the exit (to catch it properly in the second attempt).
Making a full loop is called a U-Turn and they are absolutely permitted.
That’s a half loop
If you enter at 6 o’clock and exit again at 6 o’clock, you have travelled 360° which is a full loop.
They went to school in the Midwest, don’t be too harsh on them.
Since you don’t go into the same lane you came from, it could be considered a horseshoe shape.
Yeah, I think they were thinking of a barrel-roll.
Basically Nascar tbh
In my country it’s forbidden to drive in the roundabout for longer than necessary to reach the desired exit.
Time is the 4th dimension right? Could you argue that you are trying to react the location of the exit at a specific location in time, therefore you have to make extra circles to reach your exit.
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
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I don’t remember where but I remember seeing a youtube video where someone did this but didn’t call attention to it
Like they were driving in a roundabout and just kept going around and around, then a jump cut to when they finally exited but like it was clearly much later because the sun was down. They had to have been in it for at least a half hour or so
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 ?
Merry go around
They should program a timer set to the tune of a nice, friendly song that will gently remind the driver to exit the circle in time.
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.

I remember someone tested this. They lasted like eight hours until some neighbor called a cop
Snitches get stitches.
Leftists be like:
The first sentence was enough for me lol
