That's like saying modern technology is bad because some tribesman from the amazon can't figure them out. It's just lack of education. Countries all over the world use roundabouts with no issues.

And yes, that makes American drivers the clueless tribesman in this analogy.

No, it's like saying expecting a tribesman to use a computer is crazy.

I'm American and I've used roundabouts. Plenty of them have poorly placed signs that confuse people.
