If everyone followed those rules, there would be no accidents.
l2ridehd, I think you should make #1 Bold and Red, since it's the most important rule (imho). A visitor was complaining to me about always being cut off by other drivers in the roundabouts, and she said she really didn't understand how to prevent that from happening. From what I've learned from this forum, I told her that as long as she doesn't enter the roundabout when another car is coming, she'll be fine. She looked very shocked, and said, "You mean I have to wait until it's clear?"
