I know this is memes but as a Brit, I’ll never understand how people are scared of, don’t understand, or don’t see that roundabouts are superior.
It takes a few goes in them during driving lessons and they get easier.
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.
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.
I want to get off Mr Bone's Wild roundabout!
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).

Hey, who got this picture of me?
Guide to using a roundabout
- When approaching roundabout area, don't adjust your speed
- When approaching the entrance to the roundabout, close your eyes and hold your steering wheel tightly
- When entering the roundabout, let your vehicle be guided by barriers, curbs, railings and other vehicles
- Wait until your vehicle exits the roundabout
- After you exit the roundabout, open your eyes
- If your vehicle fails, stops or is severely damaged or unable to function any more .... blame everyone else for what just occurred.
Do not look up at the sky. Do not make noise.
I live in France and I can confirm, this is how we drive roundabouts (but you have to watch out for the people demonstrating (or not🙃)).
I have been to France quite a few times and I never noticed that. Using someone else's bumper as a stopping bar however...
This is a great Forza guide.
Yes, it's a shame they didn't make a fifth one 😐.
Some of the roundabouts in my town are subterranean and have a column of bedrock in the middle. Good luck with that.
Pray
Of course the ones above ground are covered in ice for about half the year and you end up slow speed drifting around them.
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.
Step 0: Get a monster truck.
Americans are seemingly already prepared
For that 1 roundabout in the picture, yeah, just go through it. Whoever made it didn't care to learn how roundabouts work either.

WTF!
It's amazing that nobody was hurt. I would never guess from the images.
The rules for roundabouts are the same as the rules for crossing into the beyond in Pet Sematary
Just watch out for the guy camping there, Steve's a good guy and is just temporarily down on his luck
Per the picture, of you have a death wish.
Sending this to my new british friend asap
Wrong side of the road on this picture.
Okay... Sending it to him cause he loves making fun of me for being american :/
This is my first satisfying chuckle of the day. Something about it is just right (to me).
X do not surrender
Definitely the drunkard way, or American way; both interchangeable.
