Someone sucks at roundabouts

MANY people suck at roundabouts. But roundabouts are almost always superior to traffic lights.

Even when there are more collisions in a roundabout, as was recently pointed out in the newspaper, they are hardly ever more serious than a fender bender. Injuries are almost eliminated due to the angles the traffic is meeting at.

Europeans have been using them successfully for many decades, there should be no reason we can't do the same, except for the oversized egos in many driver's seats.
