            A prune is a dried plum. And a date is the (often dried) fruit of the date palm tree.

        One of my personal faves: Told this girl in college that we were gonna go to a place called Donnie’s steakhouse. She got somewhat dressed up for the occasion. Donnie’s is just McDonalds. If they’ve got a good sense of humor (and she did), they’ll get a good kick out of it. Although it may take a day or two.

      Prob’ly towed. Self driving cars can’t recognize police. There are several videos of robotaxis horrifically malfunctioning and police can’t do much other than box them in and call the company to have them remotely shut off and towed.

        They should program a timer set to the tune of a nice, friendly song that will gently remind the driver to exit the circle in time.

        I don’t think there’s a specific rule but if you obstruct traffic unnecessarily you’re breaking veitrafikkloven §3

        “Everyone must travel with consideration and be alert and cautious so that no danger arises or damage is caused and so that other traffic is not unnecessarily obstructed or disturbed.”

          Where I grew up there was a russeknute for driving around the roundabout (there was only one) 20 times. Traffic was reasonably heavy during normal rush hours, but every May evening the obstructed traffic was other drives waiting for their turn to do their 20 laps.

          As far as I know, nobody were ticketed.

        I wonder if it came about in the times when fuel was very expensive. A German physio I used to go to, told me when he was a kid they would have car free Sunday. Everyone walked or biked and the roads were full of pedestrians, it certainly would have cut 1/7th of the fuel usage.

    Despite what many people think/have heard, most places do not have a specific law against doing loops in a roundabout. And when they do it is often a local ordinace(mostly small towns trying to prevent a local car community from driving up and down the main street all night). Although other laws or regulations can apply depending on circumstances.

    Things like impeding/obstructing traffic, careless/reckless driving, noise ordinance, etc. But if you’re driving around one in an industrial area at night, the worst you’ll get is probably some accusing questions and a “warning”.

    My understanding is you’re not allowed to make a full loop unless it’s unsafe to proceed.

    Edit: sorry seems I was ambiguous. Meant going fully around and continue around.

      What!? I think I’ve done a loop at least once when missing the exit (to catch it properly in the second attempt).

    • @MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com

      Making a full loop is called a U-Turn and they are absolutely permitted.

          If you enter at 6 o’clock and exit again at 6 o’clock, you have travelled 360° which is a full loop.

    A cousin and I have been competing for years to see how many times around we can go before we either stymie another driver or get pulled over.

    I’m currently winning at 43. Neither of us have ever been pulled over, it’s always some irate grandma who refuses to enter even though I give her plenty of room.
