People need to not be idiots when they see a big rig coming and try to cut them off. You will lose due to your ignorance so don’t try and beat us just to get stuck at the same traffic light.

Not only at the Portsmouth traffic circle but at all of them. Especially the small ones on Rt.10 or Rt.1

Don’t be another statistic your family and friends will miss you. And for the love of god don’t forget you have to MERGE when getting on the highway so yield to us.

I once almost rear-ended a teenager because he stopped mid circle (back when it was one lane) to wave in a big truck. Driver refused then eventually had to go when kid wasn't moving

It seems like that teenager should retake drivers ed. who stops in the middle of a round about to waive in a vehicle?

There was a time when some nearby states unwisely chose to change right-of-way rules rotaries/roundabouts/etc. They thought having traffic in the circle yield to incoming traffic would be better. They were wrong but a small percentage of people learned that way and haven't changed. It really sucks to end up behind these people. The worst part is they look just like the rest of us, so we can't know until it's too late.
