A little kindness goes a long way.
If you're in the inside lane, you can either go straight or 3/4 of the way around the roundabout. If you're in the outside lane, you can either take the first exit on your right or you can go straight (but not 3/4). Alot of people think they know how to drive in the roundabouts and they honk at people even when they're in the wrong. The signs entering the roundabouts even show how to use them, but people apparently don't pay attention to them. Gets worse at snowbird time.
