I hate bloody roundabouts, stupid way to control traffic. Between two of my offices here we have 17 of the damn things and its only 5 miles apart. I lived in Africa for while and learnt to drive there. When I returned to Scotland there were two things that were actually worse here than in Africa. One were the roundabouts and the other thing was how narrow the roads were. Oncoming traffic at 60mph with no more than 6 inches between wing mirrors can be hairy
Still not used to it. Which is the reason our cars tend to be smaller
Oh, and I have been fortunate enough to travel quite extensively through the USA and Canada on business and pleasure. Did three big road trips there covering maybe 10k miles in total. Two were trans-continental hence the miles. The one thing that always amazes me is how good your roads are, and wide.
