> As someone who drives in the UK, and has driven or been driven a lot in the in the US I so completely appreciate roundabouts. Roundabouts are also less common in continental Europe than in the UK (or Australia). I think that's because the usual rule is that we give way to the traffic coming from the right even in countries where you drive on the right-hand side. But this rule really doesn't work for round-abouts, and so they become a potentially confusing corner-case (ha!) whereas everything is consistent in left-hand drive traffic countries.
