    The key to roundabouts is you have to trust the other drivers, considering they hand out Drivers License to any idiot in most states, I lack that trust so I'm always cautious with these things since my closest near accidents have been in roundabouts.
  • @KeatingChick
    Good thing there are videos like this because some people have never encountered a roundabout.

    1:24 Uh, the red car was continuing around, he was required to stop for it.
  • @josepheridu3322
    I confess I stopped, but to be fair I barely has used it. They are not common here in Puerto Rico, but apparently they are of the first roundabouts in Latin America, so I expect more to be build.
  • I live in the country part of a state that has like 2 roundabouts. Soo, this is amazing for people like me that has only been through a few in their lives. Not even driving

    The More You Know! Great lesson! So many people get confused at the roundabouts. Good stuff man! Also, i liked the sign off.."remember to keep air in your spair..." but i gotta be honest... did NOT see the mother-in-law note coming...lol.
  • Good video, here in Australia we have lots of roundabouts, they remove the need for traffic lights in many locations, in the suburbs they help keep the speed down a bit and break up some of the "drag strips". I have spent some time in the USA and love the country, it's people and its values. I have a feeling some of your four way stops could be replaced with roundabouts.

    That was a very simple roundabout. I got on one and couldn’t get off. I was traveling and I didn’t know which way to go. I had never seen one of those things in my life. I must have gone around 3 times before I got off and called my relatives to help get to their place. Ugh!!!
  • @WhirlingMusic
    I'll just not use them. I'll take an hour long detour before ever going on one. It's an accident waiting to happen. (The single pane roundabouts are simple.) The double lane roundabouts are impossible.

    I first how to learn to drive in roundabout from national lampoons vacation before I learn how to drive what pisses me off people don’t use signal lights it’s guessing game if there turning out or not,
  • @probe98
    Most roundabouts require you to yield to traffic already in the roundabout, so be prepared to stop.
  • @wuandm
    When entering a roundabout, Americans never use the signal. They intend to turn left but turn off the signal. In that scenario, I'm not even sure if they're going straight.
  • @lemonladybug
    You show single lane roundabout but what double lane roundabouts?
  • I don’t particularly care for roundabouts especially the ones where you can make a left turn within the roundabout. The ones pictured here are pretty simple but they have some roundabout that are chaotic to say the least. And I was listening to my GPS which is my problem being in an area I wasn’t familiar with. Good video. I’m learning.
  • @parmley86
    I got a ticket a few years ago for failing to stop at a stop sign just before entering a round about. There many round abouts with stop signs in my County. 50% of your video is false.
  • They are building one in our small town because some huge corporation built their company and got the council to okay this around the people.. no one wants it, think farm equipment, semi's from new company add Amish in buggies on a freaking roundabout to me it's insane. It's not going to ease anything they need to go around the town removing too much traffic not install a dangerous roundabout.
  • @LegoMan92
    People are ass holes and dont signal properly. People are only stopping because of that.
