Minnesota RV Shows How Not To Use A Roundabout [watch]

Roundabouts are popping up on highways and roads all across Minnesota. They're usually not tough navigate through-- unless you're the driver of this RV, that is.

Check out this surveillance video that was recorded right here in Minnesota late last month. According to YouTube user Jeffery Ayers, the video was shot near Worthington, about two and a half hours west of Rochester, back on October 29th.

It shows an RV going way too fast through the roundabout, barreling over the raised center, and then crashing to a halt on the other side. (It's accompanied, appropriately, by the theme song from the Dukes of Hazzard.)
