If people followed these principles I think accidents would be minimized. But I never drive with the expectation that other people will follow my rules or that they will use common sense. I am especially wary of what others are doing when I am in these roundabouts.

Overall I think they are great for maintaining traffic flow...
Agree on all counts, zonerboy.
