Easy guide for using a roundabout
-
This does make me wonder: do municipalities with a large number of roundabouts have stats for how these things foil drunk drivers? I feel like there's a serious possibility of reducing fatalities if we just replace the center of these circles with ponds and/or sand traps.
Or with a minefield.

I live in France and I can confirm, this is how we drive roundabouts (but you have to watch out for people demonstrating (or not
)).I have been to France quite a few times and I never noticed that. Using someone else's bumber as a stopping bar however...

Hey, who got this picture of me?

A bit of info for anyone who doesn't know how to use a roundabout: it's just a one-way street that loops around on itself tightly. Seriously. That's it.
I know, they are so easy to understand.

They are, but I feel like there are people who like to cause unnecessary confusion by making things out to be more complex than they are (not just limites to roundabouts, either).

It can get slightly tricky when it has two lanes where only the right lane exits. The idea here is that you should merge into the right lane after the last exit before your exit, but so many people in my neighborhood don’t understand this.

Not in that car. Maybe a lifted 4wd truck, because anyone who's a big enough tool to own one of them is stupid enough to drive into a solid obstruction.

Literally every adult who has ever said "I can't do math!" when faced with basic arithmetic.

Wait until you see the magic roundabout in the UK. WTF were they even thinking!
-
That sounds wild. I imagine it varies by state and some will be easier than others.
In the UK you have a lot of lessons and practice getting used to driving the car and navigating traffic, as well as perform some manoeuvres; for instance a parallel park and bay parking. We practice the emergency stop, hill starts, and roundabouts and more.
Then you have the theory test where they ask questions about signs and road rules etc. many are common sense but people fail a lot.
Then you have hazard perception where you watch videos and click the hazards before they become a danger. This is harder as you have to click at the right points.
All in all it’s rather difficult to get driving and I am all for it as it means people on the roads can generally drive.
