Bad drivers, I don't know... Even in the off-season, we see people executing the roundabouts incorrectly several times a week.
Thanks for the explanation. I do think dog owners are more tolerant of other dog owners and the things they do than non dog owners. I have had many, many, dogs and the last was a beautiful Sheltie but chose not to have one here. I know how attached you can get to them even to the point of overlooking most anything. However dog owners should realize that most people that don't have a dog see them as just animals or peeing and pooping machines looking for their lawn to relieve themselves.
