Oregon Area Driving School

This morning, I was driving with two students heading towards the roundabouts at the north end of Oregon. We were moving at 35 mph in a 35 mph speed zone, and we had a car tailgating us. We wanted to get into the left lane to go through the roundabout. My student turned on her left blinker approximately 70 feet before the left lane opened up to communicate early that she was moving over because the car behind us was really close. As soon as she started to move over, the car behind her suddenly moved to the left in the gore zone (solid white line) and proceeded to pass her illegally. Then, as she recovered from that scare, she turned her left blinker on again to move to the left lane. And another car behind her proceeded to suddenly switch lanes and pass her on the left when she clearly had her blinker on early enough. So there was a positive to come out of this incident; she learned never to trust other drivers. This student was correctly navigating the roundabout. Those drivers were driving recklessly.
Remember the speed through the roundabout is 15 mph, NOT 35 mph, so pay attention. If you're in such a hurry, get up earlier and leave earlier.
You passed a driver's education car that clearly had the turn signal on. Help us to help the students learn how to drive. The cars are very well identified with student driver stickers.
