Drive over it, unseatbelted, on my phone, picking my nose, lighting a cigarette and eating a sandwich.
Cue the angry mob. : )

I go all the way round it doing a full circuit.............

stevied. Yes, I saw you driving your white van yesterday over the roundabout at the bottom of my road. :-)

I say what a stupid rule. Nearly every car I see drives over the damn things. If we all went round them I reckon it would cause more accidents and certainly frustration.
I've even seen police cars go over rather than around. Besides even in a car, some mini r's are too small to negotiate on the outside without causing disruption.

I expect it's supposed to slow people down at junctions. Perhaps steel band around the things, perhaps raised 3" from the road surface, infiled with tarmac and hatched white on top?
|
There are a lot round here you would need a Smart to drive round.
Just ignore the damn silly things. They indicate who has priority, nothing else.
|
I agree a lot can be ignored.
However at the end of my road there is one where the residential side-street comes out onto a major road. When coming home and turning right I indicate in plenty of time and take the correct line around the central marking. Usually the traffic approaching will give way as required but several times a week a car or van will totally ignore the give way and go straight across my bows leaving me to brake heavily to avoid a crash.

Hop skip and jump, right over the top of the stupid pimple.

Look at the paint, you can see which ones are driven over all the time. We have one in a local road, fairly quiet, which gives priority to an even quieter road.
You can't drive round it very well. I wondered why it was there, then a possible reason dawned on me...there'is a driving test centre not far away and, as far as I know, there are no roundabouts in this area. I wonder whether it's been put in for learners and tests.

I don't think they are to slow you down, I was under the impression that they are to ease the traffic flow from a side road by changing give way priorities, although some people don't seem to know who to give way to at a roundabout anyhow.

You forgot to add, drunk LOL.

I am ALWAYS drunk! : ) Oldcrocks, it was not me in the white van, although I am thinking of getting one as it would fit my lifestyle...
