Default right of way at a mini roundabout

Which is a complete pigs ear. The French had this due to Priorite a

Spotted the obvious flaw with this?

The roundabout at the Arc de Triomphe comes to mind.


To add to the fun, the rules in France can vary depending on which town
youre in. Bloody nightmare.


That used to be the case but the high level of prangs led to nationalisation

If French cars already on the roundabout have to give-way, this would lead
to a lot of gridlocks? (already mentioned).

A gridlocked roundabout is a safe roundabout, which would lead to lower
accident statistics but won't include the increase in stress level. I wonder
if the suicide rate of French taxi drivers has gone up?
