Here in Michigan there are roundabouts everywhere. And I'd estimate oh maybe 20% of the drivers know how to use them. Because of that, I absolutely hate them.
A roundabout around here is just a total luck of the draw on what you will get: people treating it like a four way stop, people ignoring it completely and just blasting straight through at top speed, people going into the roundabout then stopping at every merge point, people going into the roundabout and stopping to let someone else merge in front of them, on and on. I'm still amazed at what people do.
I suspect the people who blast through it at top speed and cause an accident cause other people to turn into the type that treat roundabouts with extreme caution.
Just outside my neighborhood I must have seen 10 accidents in the past two years alone. That's a lot of accidents at an otherwise low traffic intersection.
