Easy guide for using a roundabout

Wrong side of the road on this picture.
Okay... Sending it to him cause he loves making fun of me for being american

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).

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 want to get off Mr Bone's Wild roundabout!

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.

I’ve seen documentaries about UK drivers’ training. From what I’ve seen it involves sex with the instructors and the test administrators. And, as far as I can tell, only young women ever take drivers’ training.

This is exactly how I do it in Forza Horizon 4.

Thats probably pretty accurate. I did have a class in High School where we drove on highways and what not. I am not sure it was a reauirement.
Its been almost 30 years since I got my loscence and I don't recall ever doing any renewal tests either besides the eye test where you look into the machine bolted to the counter.

A few actual problems:
- Because they don't provide any breaks in traffic, high flow times can make it difficult for people living downstream to get out of their driveway
- People with eyesight disabilities can have problems navigating them. Advocacy organizations would like them to use stop signs rather than yield signs, but this reduces the throughput of the roundabout.

I knew playing Burnout would have real life applications.

Actually this is how I got my licence. For some reason they want to record it too. Tough day to be a dude I tell you.
