Driving roundabouts is fun--if you don't get killed by some besotted soul driving the wrong way, as I nearly did tonight. Or one who gets confused and slams on the brakes for no particular reason, as seems to be happening with more, not less, frequency.
So I will help you prepare for your trip on Canal Street to the new Harley Davidson Museum (and La Fuente) this spring.
How to drive a roundabout
1. The most important rule: yield to traffic that's already in the circle if you are entering it. If you're already in it, yield to traffic on the left.
2. Get in the lane you need to be in and stay there.
3. Semis are gonna need both lanes, and they are bigger than you, so be gracious.
