The problem isn’t roundabouts or intersections…

it’s that people don’t know how to drive.

People don’t pay attention to road signs anymore, don’t know the difference between “stop” and “yield”, don’t know the rules of a four-way stop, don’t know that a 30 MPH speed limit means 30 MPH and not I’m-gonna-blow-past-you-and-flip-you-the-bird-because-you’re-going-35-and-I-want-to-go-50.  It is frustrating and dangerous.

I bet that if you pulled people over at random to take the written/practical drivers’ test again, 95% of them would fail on the first try.  Accidents happen, I get that, but some people drive as if they’re the only ones on the road and you’d better get out of their way.
