Agree, but

So, where do you think they got their driving skills before they got here?

Some people CANT drive and never should of been giving drivers license. Just yesterday I yielded to traffic in the roundabout and car completely stopped in the roundabout with no one in front or behind them. I guess thought I had the right of way? Who knows? I honked my horn and waived them to MOVE.
