What makes the roundabouts in TV so dangerous is the extreme levels of driver's experience. Experienced drivers who have been here awhile are familiar and maybe over confidant. renters and newcomers to TV usually have no experience, and residents from the UK have to overcome driving on the left. Add into the mix seniors some of whom are a little slower to react and contractors who tend to be reckless--and you've got a perfect storm. Of course this same mix of drivers is always on the streets but the roundabouts pose a unique hazard for drivers.
