You could probably stay on the magic roundabout until you ran out of fuel.

But I doubt you could go all the way around a mini roundabout .

The UK Highway Code is focussed on good behaviour when using one. There doesn't seem to be a rule.

I would definitely try at least a couple of loops around that little guy. Just look at it! How could you resist!?

I encountered the magic roundabout 25 years ago, just as a passenger, and I’m still mentally scarred.

Probably there are many places with no specific provisions against that but surely that would count for authorities as some sort of disruption of traffic, which are intentionally vaguely defined to cover such ambiguous eventualities.

A shame, I think it would be neat.

In major cities in America, just as an example, there is often a statue against “cruising” which is usually defined as passing by the same point more than X number of times in Y span of time. These laws are ostensibly aimed at harassing the (black) “car culture” people while they’re showing off their customized vehicles in the 'hood. It’s kind of like the vehicular version of anti-loitering laws. But you could probably apply it to OP’s case if you were twisted enough.

    So you’re texting while driving, uh?

    We should all report you, but we’re too curious to know the source of perpetual motion that’s been powering you since May!

    What do you mean perpetual motion? You guys don’t hire other drivers to fuel you while on the roundabout like they fuel planes while flying? I thought everybody had one of those in case they accidentaly entered a roundabout.

    You’d need to refuel at some point and I expect that refuelling whilst in motion would probably hit some legal issues.

    And then, assuming that you overcame that, in the UK at least, you’d need at MOT test at some point, which would have to be at an approved test centre, so 3 years at the absolute max - although I expect tyres etc would need attention before that.

    I'm hearing that there's a need for gas / petrol / whatever stations in more roundabouts. Maybe even a rest stop or extended stay hotel.

    If jets can refuel mid-flight, I'd think a similar solution should be even easier for a much-slower car.

    Nearly had it on The Grand Tour, just a few kinks to work out in the design. Might not work so great in a roundabout though

    The Motorway InterLane Fuelling system is an invention ahead of its time.

    Illegal in my country, as you are disturbing traffic. Potentially even preventing emergency services to operate. Might be fine if you are alone though

    i mean, if everyone was staying on the roundabout.... but if you have one guy goin round and round, there should be plenty of interleave for everyone else. how would it be disruptive?

    im an ignorant american, just curious

    AmidFuror ,

    Because if you let one guy do it, you have to let everyone do it.

    During rush hour, it will definitely have an impact on the flow of traffic with most roundabouts, which are usually not very big (in France anyway).
