Haha, I don't even know how roundabouts work! It seems like a complicated way to make a simple turn through an intersection if you ask me.

Nah dead easy. Approach roundabout without stopping, spot a gap and go for it while desperately trying to avoid crashing into oncoming traffic. Apply the opposite to get off.

Roundabouts are awesome but I'm a champ at all kinds of driving.

I had to look up what a roundabout is, and **** those things. I can only think of one I've seen in recent memory, and it's in some residential neighborhood with like a fifteen MPH speed limit. I don't want to think about what it would be like having to go fast on one of those things. Thank god I'm too poor to travel.

You need to spend some time in the northeast to hone your driving skills.

Where I grew up there were loads of them, though we called them rotaries not roundabouts.

You must have grown up in a strange and foreign place.

I guess Massachusetts is strange and foreign in some ways.
