Because that Pennsylvania woman was under arrest, she was unable to attend Wednesday night Bible study at her church. She missed an enlightening discussion on Luke 4:12, "Do not put the Lord your God to a foolish test."

Watch out for the roundabout!
This is seriously epic.

You never expect that a car will look this cool getting into a wreck unless it's driven by a stunt driver in a movie.

Oh yeah. Don't drink and drive.

Roundabouts are stupid.

Putting a boulder in the middle of it, is even dumber.

These reasonably reassuring roundabout remarks are from the Washington State Department of Transportation:

"Studies have shown that roundabouts are safer than traditional stop sign or signal-controlled intersections. Roundabouts reduced injury crashes by 75% at intersections where stop signs or signals were previously used for traffic control, according to a study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Studies by the IIH, a 90% reduction in fatality collisions and a 40% reduction in pedestrian collisions."

I'm resisting the urge to make a clever pun about "overall collisions."

I'm willing to bet it reduces collisions because it causes such a logjam to traffic flow.

Roundabouts are stupid.
Tanker truck drivers going through roundabouts must be the dumbest of all.
