Look, I just think we need to stop coddling those hedonistic roundabout hogs who get into the inner lane and circle for hours, wasting valuable capacity.

It's kinda funny how these comments are proving Randall's point, that people don't know to lane-shift in roundabouts.
If the consumer can't use the product, it's a bad product. I've had teachers who knew their subject, but couldn't convey the knowledge; they were bad teachers. If people can't handle roundabouts, it's the traffic department's fault.
That's like saying modern technology is bad because some tribesman from the amazon can't figure them out. It's just lack of education. Countries all over the world use roundabouts with no issues.
And yes, that makes American drivers the clueless tribesman in this analogy.
No, it's like saying expecting a tribesman to use a computer is crazy.
I'm American and I've used roundabouts. Plenty of them have poorly placed signs that confuse people.
