There are five very frequent cases that can end in accidents with fatal consequences
There are some tricky situations for drivers at roundabouts. On many occasions, citizens act recklessly when leaving or entering a roundabout. Certain infractions committed in roundabouts can end in accidents with fatal consequences. The Twitter account of the Albacete Local Police has shared the five most dangerous offenses committed by drivers at a roundabout:
Five serious offenses
1. Excessive speed. Accessing the roundabout at excessive speed can cause a collision with other vehicles entering at the legal speed. It can also be a hazard to pedestrians crossing the roadway at the roundabout exit. Reckless driving can be a crime and lead to the loss of 6 points and a fine of 500 euros.
2. Entry without respecting priority. The car enters without giving way to those circulating inside. This may cause a side collision with the vehicle that has priority. Search braking can cause ranges between several vehicles. Entering a roundabout without respecting priority can result in a fine of 200 euros and the loss of 4 points.
3. Lane indiscipline. Continuous lane changes, without prior signaling and without maintaining an adequate separation, can cause side collisions and collisions due to sudden braking. Changing lanes without respecting the priority can lead to a fine of 200 euros.
4. Cross outlet from inside. The vehicle leaves directly from an inside lane, crossing in front of the rest of the lanes. It causes a risk of collision against those who circulate correctly in the outer lane and of scope due to abrupt braking.
5. Exit without giving priority to the cyclist. The driver of the car intends to exit the roundabout. He does not observe the situation of the cyclist who is circulating correctly or signal, causing a risk of collision and run over.
