Thanks for this video. 🙏🏾 I've wanted to make one about roundabouts for so long! I'm not sure what it states in the road law legislation in Tasmania for what give way means, but in Victoria it states: "slow down and, if necessary, stop to avoid a collision." I've found this has helped my students learning to drive when approaching a roundabout and making decisions on if it's safe or not to enter. I also explain about inside vs outside the roundabout and the importance of being defensive. As mentioned in your video, the rule states give way to vehicles "in" the roundabout. Some of the drivers in this video unnecessarily fly through like they have some kind of non-existent right of way. I do think because of these videos and Dash Cam Owners Australia's videos, and the discussions in the comments - people are starting to get the hang of the give way rule at roundabouts. There is still a long way to go, but in comparison to 10 years ago - it's getting better, in my opinion. Road markings should be a no-brainer...
yep, we added those two on purpose and captioned them accordingly to show that it is first in the roundabout, not give way to the right, as so many people assume.
Doing step by step the dashcam car beat the log truck by a metre or so. There was also no way the log truck could have stopped in time so double naughty. Cattle truck was in first for sure, again not by much but he was first.
@@CRUDEDriving exactly. Hence how we captioned the ones where the trucks entered the roundabouts before the DC car. If it teaches someone that roundabouts are not give way to the right, but give way to those already in the roundabout, then we have succeeded in making someone re-evaluate how they approach in these situations.

This is what happens when you have twin heads!
That's naughty , but I like it !
Roundabouts---- The Eighth Wonder of the World!
I don't mind people getting a bit lost but the people who don't know how roundabouts work is shocking.
People out & about without their Guide Dogs... Shocking...
Unless you know some of those roads with a GPS giving late directions it would be easy to be confused
Cattle truck did enter that round about before the cam car,,, The log truck was touch and go,

@@DashcamsTasmania I think a little empathy for the truck driver could be had as well. Long, heavy vehicle, etc.

@@DashcamsTasmania 100%. I love what you're doing with the dash cam footage. I do the same. :)
