I cannot believe that anybody could be stupid enough to think it is the opposite.
You are BOTH planning to stop if there is any need to do so.
You are BOTH planning to go if there is no need to stop.
There is a slightly different mindset, but the outcome is IDENTICAL.
If her approach were the OPPOSITE of yours, then she would be planning to go only if that would put her into the path of another vehicle on the roundabout. She would be waiting until one appeared, then driving out in front of it.
And the difference, other than mindset is?
Oh yes, nothing at all. So they must be opposites :-)
Nuts nicked at 170mphEIGHT Brits were arrested after racing at up to 170mph on a German motorway during a Gumball-style rally. Cops said four of the maniacs were high on either...
And?
That means those people are driving badly. No more, and no less.
No it isn't.
the wrong turningWas delivering eggs today to Balmoral Castle in the works van and got the the gate where the coppers checked my ID etc. Seeing as id never been in the grounds...
I am planning to be able to stop comfortably every time. That is ALL that is necessary.
In which case, there is no need to talk about mindsets.
Sorry, I didn't realise I was talking to a Robot.
OK.
In which case, you are the type of driver that *will* have seriously irritated queues behind you.
Most people do not wait until it is completely clear. they wait until there is sufficient gap for them to pull out without causing any other vehicle to need to slow down.
But unlike your situation of waiting until completely clear, that is a judgment call. Being human, mistakes *do* happen.
If you are going to make a mistake, it is better to wait for a longer gap than strictly necessary than to try and pull out into too small a gap.
And the mindset of planning to stop gives you NO more time. -- Alex Heney, Global Villager What do batteries run on? To reply by email, my address is alexATheneyDOTplusDOTcom
