Is it illegal to drive a full circle in a rotary?

I've wanted to do that to :^D

I can't think of any laws it would break....

I have been told it was (illegal) for at least one town in PA.

Edit: I had assumed rotary referred to 'round abouts' - but subsequent comments have suggested otherwise.

No, if you insist on driving an RX-8 then feel free to do so. I've heard they turn wonderfully.And they are NOT illegal despite the rumors you may hear.

I don't think so, at least I hope not.

There's one in a new shopping center near me. Since there aren't any stores fully built/open yet, there's not any traffic in there, but I like to drive through there as a short cut to get to my local gym. One day I was coming home through there and went around a couple times as fast as I could just to see how loud I could get my tires screeching :D

Tire screeching, however, is illegal.

Edit: Idea for youtube glory: next time go at night and drag a chain behind your car. Make a video. Also, time exposure.

It's okay, I'm sure you're filled with remorse and have turned your life around.

My dad had to do that in the mall parking lot once when I was helping him bring a car to someone (we were both in a different car). He turns to the mall, then starts doing that. I'm like "wtf?". Had to do that to calibrate the GPS, or something to that extent. So if you get caught you can just say you're trying to do that.

And that roundabout looks like a driving disaster waiting to happen LOL. Would suck trying to get out of that.

My kids ask me to go around the rotary once in awhile, so I guess that makes me a habitual criminal. :p

Only if you get caught.
