It’s not just bad drivers, it’s bad design. No one who has driven all their lives should be asked to get used to special driving skills.
Especially when there are no alternatives. No public transportation, no sidewalks to cross at. Very unsafe!
You can blame the drivers till the cows come home, but you are not going to get away from the unsafe traffic flow design.

Unsafe flow design is an opinion. If you follow the rules they aren't unsafe. If you can't keep up with the skills necessary to drive here may be time to stop driving.....history doesn't give rights for the future. Roundabouts are all over this country and more are going in all the time.....I still make major trips on the roads around this country and I love where the put roundabouts......keeps traffic moving and if there is an accident it is usually non life threatening. Having said that, it will get worse here and more younger impatient drivers arrive.
