Great method of controllin traffic...assuming everyone knows how to drive in them (it's amazing how many don't however).It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

I agree with Azazel on this one. It would be even more superior if everyone learned how to drive it properly.
We've had them for ages, but everytime I go through one, 50% are driving it wrong, and when there's lots of traffic, they're slowing it down leading it to almost road rage situations.In da butt.

The French and Germans don't seem to understand roundabouts. They have this rule where at stop signs you give way to the person on your right, which is completely the other way round from the philosophy of a roundabout. So here in France I routinely see people on roundabouts giving way to cars coming onto the roundabout, or even going round it the wrong way.

Some people say the roundabouts are confusing...but they're not half as confusing as some intersections I've seen.
Some people just need the security of a light to tell them when to stop and go. They're not good at making proper judgement calls.

anyway, what's so goddamn confusing? you go right on the traffic circle, but before that you have to give advantage to anyone who's already on it.
say, what do you americans and euros do in order to get a driver's licence , anyway?

Hmm... when our family moved last year, they put several traffic circleabouts in the neighborhood where we lived. They were more to prevent speeders than to "control air pollution, ease congestion, etc". Although, they do look very nice.
For a driver's licence in America, it's different for every state. Here in good ol' Montana, it goes like this:
With no Driver's Education:
Licence at 16 (years old)
With Driver's Ed:
Learners permit at 14 1/2
Licence at 15

so you can drive without learing after you hit 16?
remind me of never driving around Montana.
here , driver's education is obligatory , of course , and you can start learning at the age of 16 1/2, with a special tutor, and then you have to pass a theoretical , and then a practical test , with the minimum age for a licence is 17, and then you have to drive for 2 months more accompanied by an experienced driver.
