  1. Tell your friend to wear gloves while riding, I have slided without gloves, would not recommend, its a 0/10 experience

  2. Carrer de la marina and meridiana! a disaster!!!!!

  3. Your friends mistake was to treat the roundabout as if it wasn’t an Indian road. Common practice is to just approach it and then go with the flow

  4. that is not a roundabout. it is an intersection regulated by traffic lights .
    Roundabout rules for not apply there. normal intersection rules do.

  5. What a confusing useless traffic situation. I would have no idea what to do

  6. Roundabout rules are simple, the one in the outer part has preference of movement unless road marks or signals say otherwise. The ones in the interior must yield and must change to the outer part to abandon the roundabout.

    HOWEVER, at the start of the video you can see that your friend was in the bus/taxi only lane. Which in my opinion is the main reason the taxi got mad at him. Then he entered the roundabout from the outer lane (reserved for taxi and bus) and got in the way of the taxi, which didn’t have right of way but he would have had it if your friend had been in their corresponding lane.

  7. Maybe the taxi was mad because your friend suddenly braked for no reason?

    Also what’s up with the way you wrote your post? I have seen your profile and you write correctly, so how come you wrote this one like that? Are you mocking?
