During our visit we had absolutely no problems navigating the roundabouts, since thanks to everyone here on TOTV I had had plenty of instruction regarding their proper use. And interestingly enough, the ONLY driver we saw who really broke the rules (changing lanes within the roundabout)...was our sales agent! (He said he had never looked at TOTV so hopefully he won't read my comment here about his rambunctious roundabout driving).

But now back to the original topic: I can honestly say we have absolutely no stupid things to report from our 5 day LSV. Having never visited before we weren't exactly sure what to expect, given the known TV demographics combined with lots of comments we had read on here. We were prepared for something between bumper cars & complete NYC style gridlock, but everywhere we ventured everyone seemed to know & abide by the rules of the road & traffic moved smoothly. Perhaps we were just lucky?

All I can say is, we can't wait to come back!
