As a rule, we in Whanganui are not great drivers, because, for a lot of us, the rules don't apply.
I don't mean the obvious ones like mobile phone use when driving a vehicle, or creeping through stop signs, or gunning it to get across the intersection before the light turns completely red, or just driving without common courtesy to other road users.
No, it's the one very few people seem to be able to get right – how to use a roundabout.
Waiting to enter a roundabout can be a guessing game, with indicators all over the place, some meaning what they say, others trying hard to say what they mean, and some don't bother at all: it's too hard.
But really, it isn't.
