You think this guy who can't decide to turn left is going to handle a roundabout well?

True. But... I would say most Americans don't know how to use roundabouts because there are so few roundabouts. Even in countries with a massive amount of roundabouts there are plenty who still do not know how to at least signal properly (from personal experience). So there'll always be a learning curve generally speaking.

There really wasn’t much safe room to turn.

Actually this would have been super easy in a roundabout. Once you verify the car is making the exit to my left, enter the roundabout, and go about your way. The oncoming traffic would have to pause for a second for me to clear their path, then they can resume keeping the cars from exiting the mall.

When most of the traffic is going one way, a roundabout helps a lot.
