I started reading TOTV several months before our first visit to TV in 2012, and I felt very comfortable navigating the roundabouts after reading the many threads & studying the info offered up by the good folks here. I knew what to do in the roundabouts, and also knew what to look out for from the drivers that may not.

In contrast, our Villages sales rep who said he'd lived in TV over ten years ( and also said he'd never read TOTV) was ALL OVER the roundabouts, totally ignoring the signage & markings on the road. I thought he was going to get us killed. It was all I could do to not say something, or report him to the sales dept.

That being said, we all know you're never going to see the day when every driver drives by the rules, in the roundabouts or anywhere else. Some folks just can't be bothered will silly rules of the road.

But if a roundabout thread pops up every so often & helps even one driver, then it's well worth it.

In one of the roundabout threads I read when we were new, someone suggested thinking of a roundabout as an intersection of two two-lane roads. It was my aha moment of understanding.
