What annoys me is the people in the roundabout that stop to figure things out or let you in.

THERE'S NO STOPPING IN A ROUNDABOUT IDIOT!

dude i mutter to myself almost daily WHY THE FUCK we don't have more here in some quieter instersections, nope let's put stupid useless lights.

though there'd be an insane number of accidents daily (especially in asian/brown dominated areas) lol.

Roundabouts are awesome. Too bad brown and yellow folk don't know how to use them.

I like the small ones where the centre island has a gradual curbing. Mad apexing yo!

Ones like this when you have to go straight through, you can pretty much take flat out \:D

People still haven't figured out that signalling is what makes a roundabout work. That and thinking a few steps ahead.

I got honked at in a round about for not stopping to let someone else in (I was following another car. We were both in already)... and I've had people stop in front of me to let someone in.

Roundabouts are brutal for the already mentioned reasons. Another thing I hate is 2 lane roundabouts, people will get on the outside lane and take it all the way around and almost cause accidents when the person on the inside lane is trying to exit and the outside lane douche doesn't realize they are supposed to exit but instead keep going around. One of these days i'm going to purposely tbone one of those fucks.

+1 for roundabouts. There are a ton of them in HK and traffic flows well through them. I think they don't work as well here because people in general don't know that they need to signal out of it and don't know how to act around them in general. It's lack of proper training and the fact that we just hand out drivers licenses here it kinda bullshit...

should expand to include:
- how to properly use turn signals
- how to turn your headlights on (including the ones w/ "automatic" headlights -- learn to turn the knob from 0 to the fucking "A")
- how to stay in their own fucking lane
- how to lane change
- how to merge into highway traffic on an on-ramp
