This reminds me of the first time I encountered a roundabout when I was 17. It was late at night and I had a few friends in the car and decided to show off by going round and round as fast as the old Volvo would go. After about the 3rd go-round, I noticed a parked police car and an officer looking very intently at me. Rather than make him chase me down with the lights on, I just drove up next to him and rolled down my window to hear his lecture. "That reckless driving is a $$$ (I don't remember the amount) citation."
"Wow", I said. Then I drove off.
I might not speed round and round anymore, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying the flick right and left at speed
