How about other ironically bad first date ideas?
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.
Leftists be like:
Roundabouts force you to turn Left! It's Political!!
I'm in the UK, they force you to turn right.
Well that explains the Liberal party
in germany driving around pointlessly is illegal i think
I mean, it's Germany
It is, but you have to do something really abstract, like this meme, to not be able to come up with some excuse that nobody cares to verify.
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.
If you confuse and distract other drivers, that's endangering traffic and police will remove you.
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.
I believe the UK has a law for this and it's 7 times.
Norway here. I'm sure I've heard 7 somewhere too.
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."

There's no such law in the UK.
Can you link the source?
American here, although I have no clue 7 sounds fine so we're calling it. Get on with it.

Too complicated for you.
Even the word roundabout is too complicated... My GPS refers to them as "traffic circles".

A dew days ago ist saw an older Dude in a Bike, taking all the left turns in one of our roundabout. (Germany) I know that he rode for at least 3 hours. He wanted to reach 200 rounds, i think. Hope he made it.
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".
Look kids! Big Ben! Parliament!
The first sentence was enough for me lol
In my country it's forbidden to drive in the roundabout for longer than necessary to reach the desired exit.
Time is the 4th dimension right? Could you argue that you are trying to react the location of the exit at a specific location in time, therefore you have to make extra circles to reach your exit.
