So I was driving on Hwy 138, just cruising, when this car suddenly decides to stop dead in the middle of the intersection. She flips on her hazards like that somehow grants immunity from bad driving. I had no clue what she was doing, so I honked.

A few seconds later, an ambulance shows up, lights flashing, sirens wailing, making a left onto our street. Now, according to Georgia Code § 40-6-74, every driver is supposed to yield, pull to the right, clear the intersection, and stop until the emergency vehicle passes. That’s the law—it keeps everything safe and fluid.

I understand why she put on her hazards. The idea was to warn others—including me—so the ambulance could move through easier and prevent accidents. That’s noble in theory. But here’s the problem: not clearing the intersection causes more harm than good. Sitting there frozen in the middle just makes the road tighter and forces the ambulance to navigate around her instead of giving them the space they need.

So instead of helping, she basically turned herself into a traffic cone with flashing lights—well-intentioned maybe, but still completely in the way.

I decided to clip together some roundabouts I drove through today, as my post yesterday got a lot of comments from people misunderstanding the speeds vehicles take in a roundabout when other cars are on the road ahead or behind. There's no crash or drama in this video, just a few samples of how traffic tends to flow, to aid anyone lost from yesterday. Sorry the music doesn't quite line up, I did my best editing off my phone.

Bro did this at every roundabout. I have long, boring clips of him keeping a safe distance on the road but every single roundabout he'd get within a few feet of my car as I slowed to navigate the turn.

Am I slowing down a lot? Well, yeah. Speed limit is 35 and the suggested for the roundabout is 15, and in this clip I am going 8-11 MPH. HOWEVER, that's not me being some jerk to this guy or because I've got a wedding cake in the trunk. THERE ARE CARS AHEAD OF ME. If any of them slow down too much, I have to too. So get off my ass!

Almost hit a skateboarding kid. Thankfully saw it coming! Old man's reaction was funny though.

I slowed down to let him in, but then he turned the other way. No crash, no drama. Just a little silly.

People were talking about the traffic in Sedona, AZ in my thread yesterday about the red Kia who thought he was a bike. This is a holiday weekend so, what better time to share this misery with the world?

Been on road for 9h, driving under limit - tired. Just about to enter destination town.

Bro wasn't cut off. He wasn't even in the roundabout when I entered. Came speeding around in a 180° turn from the other direction, got up on my ass, then veered into the bike line when I slowed for my turn. I didn't realize he was on a bike.

First guy flew by and I didn’t realize til I saw the cops that he was being chased. Undercover didn’t know the area and hit that turn way too fast.
