You ask those same people "would you come to a four lane traffic light in the right hand lane to turn left?" And they all say of course not. "Would you enter an intersection without yielding to traffic already in the intersection?" And they will say of course not. And yet the idiots do exactly that when using a roundabout.
Our regular home is in North Palm beach. This kind of driving happens all the time, especially in high season. The other day a guy in front of me made a left turn from the right lane and cut off two lanes of left turn traffic. Hot shots see an opening in the oncoming traffic, and just zoom around someone else who's waiting to make the turn. Sometimes a driver waiting in the left turn lane suddenly decides to go straight or even make a right turn instead. People are just nuts, and it's getting worse every year.

Rant over.
