Inhaltsangabe

A witty, illustrated guide to the mysteries of driving in Britain from a North American point of view. The book helps tourists become "roundabout ready" and introduces equally important, but less well-known, aspects of British traffic protocol. Often tongue-in-cheek, but focussed and factual.

Auszug. © Genehmigter Nachdruck. Alle Rechte vorbehalten.

In mollycoddled and over-regulated North America many driving enthusiasts feel they have to bend the law to find the kind of excitement and challenge they seek behind the wheel. In Britain, you can generally find your thrills within the law, and aspiring to be an advanced roundabouter is a great leap forward. The true mark of the advanced roundabouter is the ability to achieve " pace with grace " -- to take joy in executing that perilous crossing from the centre of the roundabout (the dreaded Inner Circle), across a lane of circulating traffic (the Outer Circle), and onto your turn-off road. To get full marks, you have to manage this traverse without getting rammed amidships by an Exocet missile trying to pass you on the left.
