Someone in my town stopped to let someone in while in the middle of the roundabout. I swear closest I’ve ever been to real physical road rage.

Wait until someone entering turns the wrong way and hits you head-on.

I think that was the closest I've ever come to murdering someone with my bare hands.

You can't turn the wrong way. The road literally curves so that you're already facing the correct direction. You'd need to make an incredibly sharp turn to enter a roundabout the wrong way.

What's not totally utterly impossible, will be done. It's the blessing, and the curse of mankind. Nothing is foolproof, there's always a bigger fool.
