nick bilton wants to ban roundabouts because drivers keep using common sense to merge
Local busybody Nick Bilton is petitioning the council to tear down the new roundabout on Main Street, claiming it's "too dangerous" because drivers actually have to look up from their phones and negotiate traffic. Meanwhile, folks like me have been using it without incident every day, just by paying attention and remembering what was taught in drivers ed. If Bilton spent less time whining on Nextdoor and more time watching the road, maybe he'd realize roundabouts don't cause accidents—distracted idiots do. This is a perfect example of how common sense is dead, and people want the government to redesign the world around their inattention.
