If you don’t live in the UK, you might not be completely aware of the rules of a British roundabout. They’re actually very simple — you have to go around them clockwise, no matter which way you’re going. No skipping the roundabout, you have to go round — skipping or cutting a roundabout can end up like this accident in Shropshire in the UK.
Tony Jauncey was walking through Kidderminster when he was crossing the road by a mini roundabout — and someone who evidently wasn’t entirely sure of the rules of the road cut the roundabout and hit the pensioner, sending him careening over the car bonnet. There’s CCTV footage of the whole accident thanks to the Shropshire Star — and a word of warning, even if you know that Tony makes it out ok after a trip to the hospital, it’s not a nice watch.
