This video should be widely used by TV safety and traffic education entities extensively, it is very good, compared to the brochure.

Last weekend when the Leesburg bike event was going on some ventured over to TV and while I try to be very kind and courteous to others on the roundabouts, I was forced to blow my horn when a bike came straight into the roundabout that I was already in at a high rate of speed. It's been my experience that watching the other guy (or gal) is the paramount consideration. I have traveled extensively in the UK and feel that a six week stint there would be good basic training for all new TV residents.
