I learned to drive roundabouts years ago in the South of France. When I first encountered the roundabouts in TV they felt familiar, practical and comfortable to me. However, I soon realized many drivers using them were either unfamiliar with roundabout protocol or uncomfortable driving them. I now use turn signals if and when traffic indicates their use might make make my intentions clearer to other drivers and therefore the situation safer.
