They were designed to improve traffic flow and decrease accidents. So, why are cars hurting roundabouts? Because most people hate them. They hate people, too. This is war . . . with traffic circles!

A Traffic Circle in Carmel, Indiana Attacks Driver

Man driving a GTO told police after entering the intersection his car wrecked

According to the Carmel Police Department —

A vehicle approached the 300-foot-diameter traffic circle on Monday morning, some ten miles from downtown Carmel. The driver reported that the roundabout had slammed into the car’s grill. While also damaging the bumper and causing an oil leak all over the Circle.

The police gave the driver a breathalyzer. And also, could not determine his rate of speed.

Maybe the traffic circle just wanted the GTO to SLOW DOWN and yield.

Traffic Circle — 1, Cars — 0
