Why would you want to trust any driver so much?

Here's a link to a roundabout document for the State of Washington. I know...I know...it's not Florida. Do me a favor and just read it. And look at the graphics. The roundabouts are identical to TV roundabouts. And then tell me if you find anything in Florida law which conflicts with this information, especially the part that says "Remember, in a multi-lane roundabout, you must yield to both lanes of traffic." I don't think you will.
