The left lane is signed IN THE ROUNDABOUT, Liarboy.

BEFORE the roundabout, the law in Indiana is clear:

Keep right except to pass.

We've been over all of this and you're doing what you have always done 
in our discussions:

Take things that I've told you and turn around and behave as if I'm the 
one who needs to have it explained.

Your wife should have been in the right hand lane BEFORE she got to the 
roundabout.

If she had been...

....as Indiana law requires...

....the other car would have been passing her on the left, and there 
would have been no conflict.

I never said it did work "exactly like the iPhone UI", you miserable, 
lying piece of shit.

And what you showed was a problem was only a problem because Apple MAPS 
lacked data that Google MAPS had.

It literally had NOTHING to do with which UI was used.
